As a libertarian, I’m happy to see…
…that almost 60% of local races only have one person running.
I’ll be even happier when those 60% have no one running. ;)

These activists want accountability from the police, but who holds them accountable for what they say?
The Hmong who organized a protest on behalf of the member of their community who was struck by an officer after he tried to run that officer down should be ashamed of themselves.
They’re demanding the officer be fired even though an independent witness called 911 to report that their man was trying to run the officer over.
It’s grandstanding, cialis sildenafil race-oriented BS like this that undermines activists’ cases when they actually do have a legitimate complaint against the police.

It’s official, I love the new Milwaukee Police Chief
Instead of caving into false charges of police abuse (with a side order of racism), cialis sale decease new
“We will own up when we mess up, cialis usa and if we mess up, we will be accountable,” Flynn said. “But I won’t be a punching bag for a group of people looking to develop a constituency at the cost of a police officer, especially when the life of an officer is at risk.”
There’s a new sheriff (I mean Police Chief) in town.

Religious freedom…
…does not mean you’re free to let your 11-year-old child die, viagra buy viagra because you think prayer is going to cure her.
Believing in God is no excuse for neglecting the needs of your children. You don’t wait for mana to fall from Heaven to feed your children, cialis you don’t look for technicolor robes to appear outside your door to cloth them, and you don’t wait for God to heal them instead of taking them to a doctor when they’re suffering.

Can someone tell me what the hell Eugene Kane is trying to say…
…in this column comparing the recent armed robberies of UWM and Marquette students with “the perennial battle between the townies and the college kids”?
I’ve got to say, buy viagra there I went to a school that had one of those “town and gown” divides and no one ever tried to kidnap me or rob me at gunpoint. The worst the townies ever managed to do was glare at me while they drove around in their pickup trucks listening to country music and spitting Skoal.
Parts of Mr. Kane’s column sounds like he’s blaming the students for being overprivileged and/or not cautious enough. He writes, case “Drive through any of our various metropolitan campuses and you’ll see most students seem oblivious to their appearance as easy marks. Whether it’s the carefree gait or the book bags slung over their backs, there some students must seem as enticing to would-be robbers as a baby seal to a shark.”
I’m not sure what students are supposed to do since we don’t allow them to arm themselves.
(Every time I write a sentence like that I actually go blind with rage at the stupidity of a society that ensures its citizens are disarmed in the face of crime.)
Maybe they’re just not supposed to walk on public streets?
Or maybe they should travel in packs of 15 or more?
Maybe hire guards to escort them back and forth to class?
Or maybe they won’t be safe until every nickel of their “rich” parents’ incomes is stolen through taxes and transferred to the poor uneducated black kids who are currently forced by their circumstances to rob those snotty, over-privileged college students?
Maybe that was Mr. Kane’s point.
I wouldn’t know, since I still don’t understand what the hell he was trying to say.

Time to bolt the snowplow attachment back onto the chair. Sigh.

Eugene Kane wants people to comment on his blog using their real names…
…which I would gladly do EXCEPT that posting any comment at all on Mr. Kane’s blog requires me to first provide the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel with the following information:
- my email address
- my physical address
- what gender I am
- my year of birth
- my household income
- whether or not I own my home
- my marital status
- and a few more odds and ends.
That information is the sort of stuff people pay good money for. And the folks at the

I’m sorry, what Obama’s pastor said was not OKKK.
People who have never attended a black church don’t understand a black preacher’s use of hyperbole – even outrageous hyperbole – to make a point.
I never had to attend a KKK rally to recognize unmitigated white supremacist BS when I hear it and I don’t need to attend a black church to understand I disagree with a man who says “God Damn America” and that 9/11 was our fault.
