What have I missed?

I've been away from the blog for, oh, seven hours. Are we still the ones we have been waiting for? Is there anything he's not willing to sell or raffle off to get reelected? Have any more people piled on Michele Bachmann? Is the Chief Cheesehead of the Supreme...

Politico’s Thinly Thought Out Hit Piece On Bachmann

Posted by William A. Jacobson on June 28, 2011 20 Comments

I told myself I wasn't going to do this, because it's Ed Rollins' job, but the blatent bias of Politico's article, Michele Bachmann's thin legislative resume, requires pointing out Politico's thinly thought-out attack. Here is the money line on page one of the Politico article: Now in her...

Posted by William A. Jacobson on June 28, 2011 34 Comments

As mentioned yesterday, Dane County Sheriff David Mahoney is leading an investigation into allegations that Justice David Prosser put a "chokehold" on Justice Ann Walsh Bradley, and counter-allegations that Bradley initiated physical contact.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court scuffle is moving in a direction where Justice Ann Walsh Bradley is going to have to back up her allegations that Justice David Prosser put her in a "choke hold." As indicated at the link, there are conflicting reports as to...

Blago Verdict Watch // Update – Guilty on 17 Counts

The end may be near. CBS is reporting that jurors have informed the court they have reached agreement on 18 of 20 counts. Updates to follow (most recent on top): It's over - Blago was found Guilty on 17 Counts, Not Guilty on one Count, and...

Planned Chaos

Posted by William A. Jacobson on June 27, 2011 13 Comments

The Anchoress argues that all that is going wrong is planned chaos, not mere incompetence. Which gives me an excuse to link to a post I did in which I saw chaos as the means towards the end, creating the opportunity to achieve things otherwise not possible...

Gaza Flotilla of Fools (open thread)

Posted by William A. Jacobson on June 27, 2011 10 Comments

I'll be updating links and reports about the Gaza Flotilla 2 throughout the day, although if someone just happened to fall off one of the ships, maybe I'll do a separate post. Feel free to add in links in the comments. Israel Matzav has a good...

Gaza flotilla protesters to flood State Dept phones singing “Let My People Go”

You can't make this stuff up. Really, is there anything more pathetic than Americans like Greta Berlin who are participating in the Gaza flotilla, set to sail tomorrow? Six of their boats have been detained in Greece. Berlin, who blames the U.S., has put out a call...

We approach the end of the light bulb as we know it, unless the revolution succeeds. Even so, it's doubtful the lost jobs will return, so the Mexican incandescent light bulb smuggling routes will open soon. Nonetheless, I thought this would be a good time to publish...

Operation Chaos – Wisconsin Recall Primary Edition

Posted by William A. Jacobson on June 26, 2011 11 Comments

Hey, they've run fake Tea Party candidates against us to siphon off votes from Republicans, so I can't get upset over the fact that Republicans are running "fake" Democrats in the primaries for the Wisconsin special elections in which Republican Senators are targeted. By requiring Democrats...

Is Generalissimo Francisco “Hugo” Chavez Still Alive?

Posted by William A. Jacobson on June 26, 2011 1 Comment

There are no clear reports. Some say dead, some say dying, some say planning a triumphant return having beaten the disease which the Yankee-imperialist dogs used to try to kill him through the agents of the Zionist Entity. In anticipation of the worst/best, here goes: ...

Chris Wallace Palinizes Michele Bachmann

Posted by William A. Jacobson on June 26, 2011 33 Comments

The narrative already was being set, the Palinization of Michele Bachmann, but now that Fox News has joined in, it's all but over as to the Michele Bachmann narrative if she makes it to a general election (including as to V.P.). It's a question to which...

Applying The Weiner Test To The WI Sup Ct Scuffle

Posted by William A. Jacobson on June 26, 2011 48 Comments

The facts are murky so far as to the alleged altercation between Wisconsin Supreme Court Justices David Prosser and Ann Walsh Bradley. Byron York and Ann Althouse have good round-ups of the competing leaks and press releases, and the highly suspicious involvement of Soros-funded "investigative" journalists...

(Some government-employed readers previously wrote that all ".blogspot.com" addresses were blocked depending upon the agency, but that was not specific...

On what rational basis does NY State now deny polyamorous clusters the right to marry?

Posted by William A. Jacobson on June 26, 2011 22 Comments

The slippery slope argument. Perhaps the best (or worst) example is the scene from Animal House in which an attempt by the student disciplinary council to discipline Delta House is turned into, through a series of slips and slopes, an alleged attack on the United States of...
