Wisconsin: Are Liberals Aborting Themselves Into Political Oblivion?

In writing about Tricia Willoughby — the 14-year-old home-schooler who showed such poise during her speech Saturday at the Tea Party rally in Madison — James Taranto of the Wall Street Journal took note that Miss Willoughby is the daughter of Wisconsin pro-life activists. Taranto also noticed that between 1975 and 1992, there were 316,457 […]

VIDEO CLASSIC: ‘Pure Bias, Which You Demonstrate With Every Breath You Take’

Kerry Picket of The Washington Times has not yet identified the two dudes who hassled her at a press conference with D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray, but the one dude (pictured above, right) let loose with a hissy rant of self-righteousness that will live in infamy: “Don’t pretend that you’re not biased. . . . You […]

Well, Of Course: 14-Year-Old Wisconsin Tea Party Speaker Is Home-Schooler

When I saw this video at Ann Althouse’s blog (hat-tip, Instapundit), I did some quick searching and learned that Tricia Willoughby is a home-schooler and debate champion, one of three daughters of Wisconsin pro-life leaders Bret and Nancy Willoughby: As the father of six home-schooled kids myself, I’m very proud to see Miss Willoughby’s poise as […]

Wound + Salt = ‘Hey, Liberals, How Are You Liking That Wisconsin Result?’

Yesterday afternoon, when it looked like liberal Joanne Kloppenburg had narrowly defeated Wisconsin state Supreme Court Justice David Prosser, I was in abject misery. Now? Baby, I feel fine! In a political bombshell, the clerk in a Republican stronghold released new vote totals adding a net total of 7,582 new votes in the tight state […]

Gone, Wisconsin!

Joan Kloppenburg has declared victory in the Wisconsin Supreme Court election — apparently winning by a margin of 204 votes — and thus dies whatever hope there had been for the state’s economic and political future. Gov. Scott Walker and the newly-elected Republican majority in the legislature had begun the only possible reform that could have saved Wisconsin: The […]

Prosser Wins in Wisconsin
UPDATE: Kloppenburg Steals It?

Yeah, I know that’s not the headline this morning. “Too Close to Call,” they say, but with 99% of precincts reporting and conservative Justice David Prosser leading by 585 votes in the state Supreme Court race, I’m calling it: Prosser wins. Even if the unions finagle the recount and manage to steal this thing for […]

New Motherf–g Tone: Wisconsin Woman Arrested for Death Threats to Republicans

Who knew “civility” was a felony in Wisconsin? A 26-year-old woman was charged Thursday with two felony counts and two misdemeanor counts for allegedly making email threats against Wisconsin lawmakers during the height of the battle over Gov. Scott Walker’s budget-repair bill. Katherine R. Windels of Cross Plains was named in a criminal complaint filed […]

Fortunately, It’s Wisconsin …

. . . so liberals will have plenty of cheese to go with their whine, as the new law limiting the power of government-employee unions is enacted. Note the biased implication of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel headline: Collective bargaining law published despite restraining order Yes, despite the judicial majesty of Dane County Circuit Judge Maryann Sumi, […]
