A man and his blog...it's a beautiful thing. A discussion of politics, society, elbow straws and other matters

The other day, I asked on social media for people to give me one reason to vote for David Crowley. I pointed out that anyone can come up with a thousand and one reasons to vote against Tom Trumpfany, but I wanted a reason to vote for Crowley instead of, say, my dog. No one gave me a reason. Apparently, Crowley can't either: Crowley told POLITICO he plans to use GOP Rep. Tom Tiffany and President…
David Crowley has already sent out two fundraising emails after being declared the winner of Tuesday's primary a scant 12 hours ago. And he's already trying to revise the history of said primary: Crowley wrote, in part: And this victory was not inevitable. Most of the political world had counted us out when we were trailing by double digits in the polls. But just like working people across our…
We're down to the final hours before Tuesday's primary, and there are a few things that need to be touched on. For the sake of discussion, I'll consider the race to be between Francesca Hong and David Crowley. With all due apologies to Kelda Roys and Joel Brennan and their respective supporters, there's been no indication that they have a realistic chance of pulling off more than 10 or 15%…
David Crowley is at the "God told me to get back in the race" stage of desperation, but with a unique twist. He's actually saying that God told his wife that he should get back into the race. He said that after he dropped out of the race, his wife asked God for the sign in the form of a red bird to indicate that he should get back into the race. He went on to say that later in the day, she saw a…
Well, no he didn't! Did you see McConnell at a dais saying his was discharged? Did you see him talking to reporters on the driveway on the way out of rehab announcing his discharge? Did he wave from the sidewalk while entering his home from the car? No, there has still been no public sighting of Mitch McConnell. Why is the press acting like everything is okey dokey? No, some lackey in his press…
David Crowley made this jaw-dropping comment: Really? Really?! I would like Crowley to tell us which Republicans we should listen to and why. Ron Johnson? Drunken Van Orden? Scott Walker? Trump? Unfortunately, it's entirely possible he does listen to Republicans. I mean, Crowley is for school privatization. He is for AI data centers. He stands against his own workers. And he does love him all the…
Some flockin' secret if it's a headline in the NY Times. aina?
There has been a lot of press and social media discussion around the SAVE ACT that Trump is pushing. He claims that it will protect our right to vote. I think our states do a great job of protecting our right to vote without his intervention. And facts are facts, illegal voting is minuscule in this country and most often done by...wait for it...Republicans. One of the most discussed topics around…
At the end of 2015, my wife moved into our house. We always knew that we wanted a dog. Not any dog, but a hound dog. But we promised we would wait until spring to give us time to get settled in. That promise lasted exactly 10 days, when we welcomed a coonhound we named Beau into our home. It immediately became his home, and he just let us live there. Beau was a rescue dog at the Wisconsin Humane…
Remarkably, none of the American citizens taken into custody and suspected of vandalizing the reflecting pool are at fault and no one actually caused any damage to the pool after it's refurbishing. Instead, it is apparent that Donald Trump himself directly caused all of the new issues with the pool by ordering the remake and hiring substandard contractors...and then not overseeing the job or…
