We Remember

Those who currently serve and those who have served. God bless you. Those who gave the ultimate sacrifice, we will never forget.

Am I supposed to be concerned about this?

70 fat cats gave 13% of campaign contributions.

Wisconsin Democracy Campaign has its panties in a knot over 13% of campaign contributions.

Big deal.

I’m sorry but I just can’t get excited over the fact that 13% of the money was given by 1/2 % of the people.

Because, after all, we’re only talking about 13%.

If we get to 40 or 50 per cent, check back.

Election 2010 update 05-27-2010

[UPDATE II: Wiggy tells us that Bill Kramer has a Democratic opponent.]

[UPDATE: To show that capper wrote about Wall and not Newcomer.] Well, things are hopping and we’re still several months away from the primary in September.

Newcomer drops out of race for 33rd Assembly district. This was not a surprise and capper heard the first rumors I heard [Ed. note-Not Newcomer, but Wall]. Mr. Newcomer has had more than his share of controversy since being elected to replace Waukesha county executive Paul Vrakas. He had several challengers. The Journal Sentinel link has a list of 22 legislators who are not seeking re-election. Before I even finished this post the MJS had Pedro Colon also not seeking re-election so make that 23.

Ron Johnson stopped by Brian Dorow’s fundraiser at Crites Field in Waukesha Wednesday. Dorow is one of the candidates in the 33rd Assembly district (link via The Spring City Chronicle).

Yes, folks that’s how fast things are changing!

Don Pridemore is getting plenty of challenges for the Republican nomination in the 93rd. (h/t The Spring City Chronicle).

Terrance Wall has dropped out of the Republican race for the right to face Russ Feingold in November. [Capper was the first I saw with the news.] He’s the second within the last ten days, Dick Leinenkugel having dropped out earlier and endorsing Ron Johnson about whom George Will wrote.

So I can’t belong to the Tea Party?

So insists John Amato and David Neiwert in their book, “Over the Cliff: How Obama’s Election Drove the American Right Insane” according to Steve Levingston at Political Bookworm

They believe there are 10 fictitious Tea Party beliefs:

1. The birth-certificate conspiracy.

2. Death panels.

3. Obama is a Muslim/Socialist/Fascist.

4. Obama is going to take away our guns.

5. Obama is raising our taxes.

6. Fascism is a left-wing phenomenon.

7. Global warming is a hoax.

8. Some 16,000 new IRS agents will enforce the new health care reform act by throwing you in jail.

9. Two million people were at the 9/12 March on Washington.

10. The Tea Parties are a non-partisan, broad grassroots movement.

Well, I don’t believe them all, so….

Happy Blogversary, Boots and Sabers

I missed this one, but it’s not too late I hope. Boots and Sabers has been live for seven years and you have to hand it to Owen for sticking with it consistently for so long.

Owen as well as Instapundit were my models as I began blogging. Short sweet, to the point and you knew what they felt about a topic.

They called it a success, even though they didn’t find a single Asian carp carcass.

Yes, work for the government and even your failures can be successes.

Do these people even realize how ridiculous they sound?
