Kentucky Stomper Charged With Fourth-Degree Assault

Almost enough said.

Woman pushed to ground, head stomped on, by Rand Paul supporters

There are few words that are appropriate for this, other than “TOTALLY UNACCETABLE,” which must be written in huge capital letters. Rand Paul has yet to condemn this—which is exactly what he must do. Update 1: Mr. Paul has condemned the attack. How about you, Mr. Halbert? And the men who did this—you just committed

The Onion skewers Ron Johnson

In a sense, you know you’ve arrived when The Onion is making fun of you. “My Opponent Knows Where Washington Is On A Map; I Don’t, And I Never Will” Do enjoy! OBTW: Hopefully this won’t get him too many votes.

Ron Johnson’s lack of plans for the economy, veterans — anything — focus of new Feingold TV ad

I have to say, it’s true. Republican U.S. Senate candidate Ron Johnson has glossed over huge swaths of major issues, from the economy to veterans benefits. As he said at the UW-Milwaukee candidate forum on October 21, “I don’t believe this election really is about details, it just isn’t.” Too bad they don’t matter to

For first time, Green Bay Press-Gazette endorses Feingold

The Green Bay Press-Gazette (a Gannett newspaper) has given its endorsement to Russ Feingold, the first time it has ever done so. Their reasoning: while there was agreement with Johnson on some principles, “Johnson seemed unable to further articulate his plan for job creation — especially for the middle class — during a recent meeting

A brief summary of the free rides Ron Johnson has gotten from government

For a guy who claims to loath everything that Gubmint is and stands for, Republican U.S. Senate candidate Ron Johnson has gotten more than his share of very substantial government assistance—some of it running to this very day. I will use the text of a poll over on DailyKos to summarize it for you: His

Feingold, Johnson in dead heat in last 2 weeks

Isn’t this always how it goes for Feingold? At least what we are told is that the good Senator somehow pulls ahead at the end of the race, squeaking by his latest millionaire opponent. That is how it looks to be once again. Despite spending millions of his wealthy family’s money, and having millions more

My question on Ron Johnson’s company using prison labor: Hiring after release?

A sad fact of America’s sprawling prison-industrial complex is that upon release, many former prisoners do not have work skills, to say nothing of the stigma that comes with a criminal record. And by now–the news has been out for at least fifteen minutes now–it’s old news that, quoting the AP story, “Pacur Inc. and Dynamic Drinkware LLC,

Ron Johnson’s money bomb, so successful that it disappeared?

“Donate to Ron Johnson’s money bomb TODAY and watch the scales tip back to the people!” declares Real Debate Wisconsin. I find that statement rather ironic, not just that it comes from that site, but that there’s the impression that electing Johnson in lieu of Senator Feingold will in any way return the seat to “the

Endorsement: Rep. Christine Sinicki for 20th Assembly District

During successful career in the Wisconsin State Assembly, Rep. Christine Sinicki has made it her business to be in touch with voters. Be they in Cudahy, St. Francis, or Milwaukee, Sinicki has proven time and time again that she brings their issues to the government, and gets them put into action. In the Assembly, Sinicki
