Republicans in the Legislature have removed tenure and shared governance from the UW System.

Goodbye and RIP University of Wisconsin. It was a hell of a run.

My beloved Milwaukee Brewers have fired manager Ron Roenecke mid-season

and replaced him with Wisconsin native Craig Counsell. This move was made because the Brewers are sucking in almost every way imaginable (although they did take two of three from the Flubs over the weekend).

By this line of reasoning should we not be able to fire Scutt Wonker for his massive suck? We could even do like the Brew Crew and replace him with a Wisconsin native. Maybe...um...Russ Feingold?

My Milwaukee Brewers might possibly be the worst team in all of pro sports right now.

They are putrid. They stink on ice. Yuck!

Badgers!

One more game and it's back to the Final Four!

(God I need something to take my mind off the effed up state our state is otherwise in.)

Wisconsin job creation rank falls to 38th in U.S... nice job Walker!

Yeah, the country definitely wants this guy to have the keys to the US Economy. Huge tax breaks for the top 1% and austerity for everyone else. Slash and burn the state's University system. Trash public education and shift money to for-profit charter schools. It's working everyone! Big and Bold! It's working!!

So sick of Faux and CNN broadcasting recruiting films for ISIS and the KKK

First Faux broadcasts a full length video from ISIS showing the Jordanian F-16 pilot being burned alive. Now CNN gives an interview to the "Imperial Kludd" (really, that's his title) and allows him to express his views on the OU racist fratboy incident to the entire nation.

Why? I mean, I know why, but sheesh.

Robin Vos no longer supports giving the UW autonomy...but still wants huge cuts

Robin "ratface" Vos is at it again:

So basically his definition of autonomy for the UW is that they eliminate tenure and shared governance like he said they should. He wants these bastards PUNISHED, dammit!! His vision for the UW is a giant trade school staffed by adjunct instructors who teach "job skills" for $18K/year. The UW system (full disclosure: my employer) will soon become the very first non-profit university system in the nation to do this. Probably not the last though, as I suspect this is coming straight from ALEC. I predict loss of all accreditation within three to five years. All of those millions and millions of dollars in research grants and all of the collaborations with the private sector? Gone. ALL gone- kiss it goodbye. The UW will be gone. Period. But hey, we'll still have the Packers! Way to go Republican voters.

Greetings from Badger country, Iowans

It appears your Republicans are as dumb as ours.

We have Ron "Senator Dumbass" Johnson and you have Ernst.

And now, apparently, Iowa Republicans are just lovin' our Guv, the one and only Squatty Walker. Incredible, no?

Does it surprise anyone here that Walker hasn't pushed death penalty legislation yet?

He's checked all of the other boxes. I honestly thought we'd see a push to enact the death penalty during his first term. It's curious they have been silent on this favorite piece of red meat for the base.
