ACT OF PRIVILEGE

This has always bothered me. Members of Congress don’t have to buy and use postage stamps like we do; rather, through the practice of franking privileges, all they need to do is sign their names and off goes the mail.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has found that Wisconsin’s eight U.S. Representatives spent nearly $1.7 million of [...]

SPICE BOYS ON BLOGGING

Hat tip to Patrick at Badger Blogger.
Jay over at folkbum’s rambles and rants nails the Spice Boys, Spivak and Bice, and their Spice Blog for what is an obvious contempt for bloggers. Spivak and Bice take a cheap shot at blogger Ann Althouse, who I met at the Bloggers’ Conference back in March. Ann isn’t [...]

ANOTHER MILESTONE

Well, this place had its 20,000 visitor this evening at 6:17 p.m. No clue as to how they arrived here, since there is no referring link, but at least they were here.
Thanks to whoever you are.

REP. LASEE’S STATEMENT

Here is a statement from Rep. Frank Lasee on the Taxpayer Protection Amendment:

While I am glad we had a vote on a strong, comprehensive Taxpayer Protection Amendment (TPA), I’m disappointed that leadership in the Assembly chose not to exert their power on the issue to get as many votes as possible. I’m disappointed in some [...]

NOW YOU SEE IT …

Now you don’t.
Someone please explain Blogger/Blogspot to me. Please.
Since it doesn’t have a trackback feature, it has the Create A Link feature, which shows up under Links To This Post.
There were several links under my Rhino Porn link earlier today, one was from Jenna from Right Off The Shore and the other the Epilogue [...]

REP. NASS’S STATEMENT

Rep. Steve Nass issued the following release about the weak, pathetic, RINO-induced version of the Taxpayer Seduction, er, Protection Act:

State Representative Steve Nass (R-Whitewater) voted against the horribly weak version of the Taxpayer Protection Amendment (ASA 5 to AJR 77). The version that passed in the middle of the night contains numerous loopholes, fails [...]

UPDATE ON TPA

Upon further investigation, three of the Republican “no” votes against the pathetic excuse for the Taxpayer Protection Amendment were good “no” votes: voting against a bad bill.
Kudos to:

Rep. Steve Nass
Rep. Leah Vukmir
Rep. Frank Lasee

Clearly, these are not RINOs.

AT THE TROUGH

Some people, including myself, refer to politicians in both parties who spend money like there’s no tomorrow and empower the government at the expense of the people as the Party of Government.
Dad29 has a different tack here, referring to it as the Party in Government, with the acronym of PIG.
Their new party emblem being:
Thanks to [...]

SCREWED

Here is what the Assembly RINOs did to the taxpayer last night. The taxpayer is one on the bottom:
The GOP needs to replace the elephant as its logo with the rhino. It is more fitting. That is what is running the party both in state and nationally.
That is why I am a conservative and not [...]

DISAPPOINTING

The Party of Government prevailed.
From JSOnline’s DayWatch blog:

Madison - The state Assembly this morning called for the first constitutional limit on state spending but refused to recommend similar controls on local governments.
The Assembly voted, 50-48, to limit growth of state government’s general fund - its single biggest account, which will spend more than $19 billion [...]
