This is starting to feel perilously close to a police state to me.

As most blog readers in Wisconsin already know, buy viagra click a local teacher was arrested for posing as a conservative on a Wisconsin blog and writing vaguely threatening comments:

As readers of a conservative blog debated the subject of teacher salaries, viagra a writer using the pseudonym “Observer” weighed in. The West Bend teachers’ salaries made him sick, the person wrote, adding that the 1999 Columbine High School killers had the right idea.

“They knew how to deal with the overpaid teacher union thugs. One shot at a time! Too bad the liberls (sic) rip them; they were heros (sic) and should be remembered that way,” the writer said.

But police say the writer was a teacher himself – and the past president of a teachers union – apparently posing as a teacher-hater.

James Buss was arrested Thursday by West Bend police, and the 46-year-old Cudahy man could face criminal charges. He has been suspended from his job as a teacher at Oak Creek High School.

I think what the teacher did was stupid, but I think what the cops did was truly frightening.

The fact that the police can come to your home and take you away for something you wrote is much more threatening than anything Buss could have written.

I wonder what WEAC and the indian gaming tribes in Wisconsin think about this?

Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle is calling the Legislature into special session next month to pass campaign finance reform that would include full public financing of Supreme Court races because he apparently thinks that Supreme Court Justices can’t be trusted not to give their campaign donors special considerations.

So is this basically an admission that Jim Doyle has paid back his campaign donors with special favors?

Or is Jim Doyle just made of better stuff than our Supreme Court Justices?

Oh no! I’m being threatened by an art gallery owner!

Arts agitator and Hotcakes Gallery owner Mike Brenner threw a self-described “temper tantrum” this week and vowed he’d shutter his gallery and leave Milwaukee if a proposed bronze sculpture of Fonzie, best viagra check the character from the “Happy Days” TV series, pharmacy is installed here.

Oh no, whatsoever shall we do with one less art gallery in the Third Ward?

Judging the Judge

Because Wisconsin State Supreme Court Justice Annette Ziegler was supported by Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce (a lobbying group representing many State businesses), viagra generic sales her opponents seem to think she should recuse herself from any case that impacts business interests in Wisconsin.

This feels like an attempt by the folks who lost the election to, case in effect, cialis change the outcome of the vote by silencing Justice Ziegler.

I agree with Former state Supreme Court Justice Janine Geske, a law professor at Marquette University who said:

“If you are going to have judges that recuse themselves anytime this has happened, you are not going to have a court,” she said, referring to cases in which campaign supporters have an interest.

Sorry to do this in public, buddy

I tried to leave a comment on this blog post at PeteRepublic.org, viagra canada viagra but his spam system kept refusing me. (Maybe it knows something?)

Unfortunately, buy viagra view that means I have to question his point here instead of in a comment (which I think would have been the more appropriate place).

In his post, seek Pete was responding to a situation where Brown Deer kept people waiting outside of an American store on Friday because the store didn’t have permission to open their doors earlier than usual. Pete wrote:

I’m guessing asking permission of the Brown Deer Village for Special Holiday Hours is a annual event, because here are the November 5th, 2007 minutes in which Kohl’s petitioned for their “Special Holiday Hours”. NO OTHER BUSINESS in Brown Deer petitioned for special hours. I still think it was a bad PR move, however I DO THINK American TV is still wrong for not having PROPERLY PETITIONED the village for permission here.

Next time, ask.

My response: why does a government get to tell a business what their hours of operation can be?

Why does a store have to grovel to a municipality in order to serve their customers? (“Oh, please, please Mr. Omnipotent Village let us serve our customers by opening the doors a few hours earlier than we normally do!”)

You’ve got to be kidding me.

We DON’T live our lives by permission of the government.

The government exists only as long as we give it OUR permission.

American wasn’t in the wrong here.

Brown Deer’s ridiculous regulations are un-American. And in more ways than one.

OK, so the barrier failed, but that doesn’t mean the investigation should.

All the discussions about a crash that killed two teenagers last Friday seem to center on the fact that the median barrier failed to keep the car from crossing into oncoming traffic and hitting a vehicle traveling in the opposite direction.

But not much of it has questioned why the driver failed to keep the car from crossing into oncoming traffic.

Should we look at why the barrier failed to do its job?

Of course.

But we shouldn’t hide behind the barrier when it comes to finding out why a car full of teenagers, tadalafil viagra none of whom seemed to be wearing their seat belts, suddenly crossed into oncoming traffic on a typical Friday afternoon.

What if the Milwaukee police union were illegal?

In a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel story about Milwaukee’s new police chief, tadalafil purchase I was struck by a couple sentences about Milwaukee’s police union:

Several key aldermen, however, openly favored Capt. James Harpole for the job.So did the police union, which has tangled with past chiefs. Union president John Balcerzak is already warning of low morale, based in part on the “ever-increasing rise in internal investigations.”

This made me ask myself a couple of questions:

1.) Who gets to pick their own boss?

2.) Considering some of the events of the last few years, there is probably a reason for the “ever-increasing rise in internal investigations”.

3.) Doesn’t the mere existence of a police union help perpetuate an “us-versus-them” mentality between the police and the citizens they’re supposed to be putting first?

Basically, my question is if there was no police union would Milwaukee be better or worse off?
