Re: Education Secretary: Graduation Rates Should Determine College Post-Seasons

Didn't they [the NCAA] want to put Utah and former Marquette coach Rick Majerus under sanction because he bought a kid a soda as he was comforting him over the lose of his father at an airport diner?

Kevin,

I am with you 100% on this, especially the NCAA with them not even allowing the athletes to get a free rubber chicken dinner..

There's a Cap Grille in Milwaukee too; it's a chain (learned that from the Asian Badger at a Drinking Right). Though seriously, it took you over a day to come up with that comeback?

Pathetic. What's next? He's not recycling his brown bags? He's using brown bags at all, and not using a cooler or reusable lunch bag like a 4th grader?

But Barrett's lunch bags are made in Wisconsin (or I hope). Maybe Walker's lunch bags are from the Capital Grille in D.C.?

Re: 250 Protest Kagen for “No” Vote on Health Care Bill

Some media had the number at 50. Some had it at 75. WLUK had it at 100 when they talked about tonight's Walnut St. protest.

They only had 50 people at that OFA event?

You are aware that the Barrett website was made in Boston, right?

Re: Quick Hits

capper — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 23:40:16 -0000

No, for a couple of reasons. One, I don't follow basketball, college or pro. Secondly, I would expect Walker to go with Ohio, like he does for his website. Or Illinois, like he does for his "special" fund raisers. I don't think Neumann even knows what a basketball is or what state he is in.

I note that the camera angles were very tight.

About 100 or so? Maybe less??

I'm rooting for both a full NIT and no "Health Care" bill.

Odds of Kagen rising like a Phoenix and avoiding the 2011 NIT - 50-1 (and I'm going against).

Sounds nice on paper but the question is will "Terri" who thinks she's the smartest woman on earth and lectures the voters about it, jump on board??? I saw her at a voter forum a few months ago and she is sooooo annoying. Tried to paint herself as part of the Tea Party movement.

Re: So, That’s a “No” Then Steve?

kneenor — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 09:02:52 -0000

Heard from a well informed source this weekend that Kagen is very very "worried" about the Nov. election and the voters of the 8th CD. He's never seen so many angry voters, never encountered such anger in town hall meetings and he's "worried". Let's just hope we don't screw it up and we can get rid of this tool!!!!

Re: Kagen Replies on Rangel

mgm — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 11:47:41 -0000

Clearly, Roger Roth has better instincts and support than other candidates for the 8th, since he was out of the box first with Kagen's Rangel blood in the water. The Kagen statement on changing leadership so angered Pelosi, she almost showed emotion through her Botox-injected face.

Re: Kagen Replies on Rangel

kneenor — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 22:09:06 -0000

My anger continues to burn, perhaps it will never totally go away but I can still hear the Doyle thugs yelling at me as I carried signs supporting Mark Green. What were they yelling - they were yelling at Mark to "give the money back" "dirty money, dirty Mark Green". And what was this dirty money?? It was money he LEGALLY transferred from his congressional campaign to his campaign for governor - the same type of transfer that Tom Barrett did when he ran against Doyle in the primary and no one every challenged his ability to do it. It is interesting that Kagen is using the same bottom feeding lawyer Doyle used to push the money charge against Green. Kagen is a tool of the Dems, and like you I hope Roth gets his game on and gets it on hard. I have a piece of information I'm sitting on about Kagen that I can't wait to share with the Republican nominee. Hopefully it will show Kagen for the lying piece of you know what he is. (And I'm not referring to the sexual harassment that's been whispered about but no one will come forward).

Re: Bit Lost Here

kneenor — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 09:20:42 -0000

I don't believe a word Kagen said about this. Didn't you recently report that he hired 3 more staffers? And I have it on good authority that he has more people working for him than the former Congressman to hold the job (that would be Mark Green). In fact when discussing this the comment was made "I don't know where he puts them all, they must be on top of each other". This must be one very very important guy to need that many employees - LOL!!!! Of course he doesn't want to comment, of course he wants to stick his head in the sand, of course he is lying. What a tool!!!!!!

Re: Maybe Tommy for Senate is Happening

Jib — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 01:32:06 -0000

That would be a fun race, wouldn't it? The only problem is that Tommy is the ultimate tease. I don't think Wall has a snowball's chance, but I do think Tommy will submarine even that by declining. Thompson's ego seems to only be sated by being wanted.

Re: Charlie Cook: “Health Care is Obama’s Iraq”

kevinbinversie — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 15:38:13 -0000

Cook's point is that it's a policy decision the bulk of Americans disagree with and the continued pursuit of it that has bogged down Obama and placed an anchor on his fellow Democrats in an electoral fashion. If looked through that prism; which is Cook's area of expertise, the comparison more than fits.
