The editor of the WSJ accidently reminds us of the tragedy of losing the Cap Times if the new approach fails. We must help keep the Cap Times going on the Internet.
WSJ
is a daily paper that took no position on the outrageous Supreme Court
race but editor Ellen Foley runs the risk of rotator cuff damage
patting herself on the back bragging that the so-called "Frankenstein veto" was opposed by the voters. Forget the fact that the constitutional change may well make the veto worse,
Ellen Foley "is extremely proud of our editorial staff, which
campaigned for more than a year to get the issue in front of the
voters."
Then, in an outburst of candor she admits "that the
power of the governor still has more leeway than needed." In other
words, the fix was not good. Try again Ellen? But, what the hell. Grab
a victory when you can.
Forget the veto. Think about racism in the Supreme Court race and the silence of WSJ,
40 years after the death of Martin Luther King. Could Foley explain her
paper's silence to Dr. King? I don't think so. No endorsement for
Justice Butler but, and I'm not making this up, "We (WSJ) are
also studying and opining about the process by which we choose state
Supreme Court justices." Whoa Nelly! And, here is her promise.
Editorial page editor Scott Milford and Co. are "on the prowl." That
reassures me! As for WSJ: WSJ has a commitment "to shine the big spotlight on problems tht readers care about." Yikes!
WISPOLITICS disappoints again: Every week theWSJ
carries the conservative WisPolitics.com's view of the week in
politics. While giving a big thumbs up to Michael Gableman's victory
without condemning his racist commercials, they tell us to chill
because Wisconsin has only once elected a black statewide. Catch this,
"While some grumble about what they say were racial overtones in the race..." They? How`about you WISPOL? Falling fast: WisPolitics.

Although separated by an ocean and multiple time zones, the Australian Outback bears remarkable resemblance to the American West. Both encompass mesas towering over rocky, dusty deserts shimmering like a mirage under unforgiving sunlight. Whip-snapping co
It can't touch Harry Potter for scope of popularity but in some pockets of pop culture, the Twilight series has reached Beatlemania in intensity. The "young adult" novels about a handsome teenage vampire boy and the mortal girl who loves him have sold 17
No, we didn't ask for an album featuring another recording of "Breathe," leading into "Time," leading into "Breathe (Reprise)," as happens on tracks two through four on Live in Gdansk. But Pink Floyd completists (we are legion) will want it anyway. Howeve
Jorge "El Guero" Hernandez may be the best-known regional Mexican artist with Milwaukee roots. Most of a decade has passed since he and brother Rogelio moved to San Antonio, but El Guero's Banda Centenario still nurtures a unique take on the often-manic D
The last decade has not been kind to Milwaukee’s German restaurants, as names like Ritter’s Inn, the Bavarian Wurst Haus and even the venerable John Ernst have all closed their doors. In fact, only two of the old-timers remain: the oldest, Mad
