Noonan Gravely Accuses Tea Partiers of "Thinking."

By SleepinJeezus on Tue, 03/03/2015 - 10:32am |
Ah, Peggy Noonan. She is like the bench partner in middle school science class who tears the wings from a living butterfly and then weeps mournfully over its demise. Her latest effort at scientific analysis finds her not only accusing Tea Partiers of "thinking," but also offers her scientific impression that their thoughts are ascendant within the population at large.

We Deserve Scott Walker

By SleepinJeezus on Mon, 02/16/2015 - 8:23am |

(NOTE: I originally posted this as comments accompanying a link submitted to the "In the News" section. But in retrospect, I think this deserves its own blog post.)

*****************************

Point to ponder:
"State taxpayers are footing the bill for this junket, which isn’t doing a damn thing for Wisconsin’s economic prospects but merely making Walker the laughingstock of England."

The Cruelty of Children: A few thoughts for the Day After Memorial Day

By SleepinJeezus on Tue, 05/28/2013 - 6:30am |

There was a man who lived in my neighborhood when I was a child. He was called "Droogie."

Droogie lived with his elderly mother in pretty austere circumstances. His father died when he was quite young. Droogie was dangerously violent at times. At other times, he could be seen collapsing into inconsolable tears for no reason at all. In almost all ways imaginable, Droogie was a mess!

"My Treat" for Veteran's Day

By SleepinJeezus on Tue, 11/13/2012 - 9:19am |

I saw a friend of mine today who happens to be a Veteran. I asked him if he had partaken of any of the free meals for Veterans offered by many of the local restaurants.

Well, he said, he hadn't really even thought of it before stopping to get a bite on Monday. And then he kinda grinned and I knew there was a story to be told.

Brian and his wife had stopped at a Culver's on Veteran's Day and were waiting in line behind an elderly woman. They really weren't paying attention until they heard the woman ask if it was necessary for her husband to come into the store to get his free ice cream sundae.

Interesting fact found on the way to look for something else

By SleepinJeezus on Thu, 03/03/2011 - 4:27am |

Did you know that of the 100 largest economies in the world, 51 are corporations?

The rest of them are countries. Including ours. At least it will be "ours" until the hostile takeover.

See other interesting details about corporations here.

Head's Up People! Walker's "Budget Repair Bill" ain't all about busting Unions

By SleepinJeezus on Sun, 02/20/2011 - 11:58am |

from the text of Wisconsin Governor Walker's "Budget Repair Bill":

Page 18; Line 8: "Except with respect to sexual orientation, the contractor further agrees to take affirmative action to ensure equal employment oppotunities." 

As proposed by Walker and his supporters, this assault on LGBT Rights will be written into Law in this State if this tyranny prevails.
