This from a Green Bay Press Gazette story on Brown County Republicans questioning the credentials of a county executive candidate who supported a Democrat for Congress:

Sandy Juno, a former woman of the county party, criticized the tone of the meeting.

I thought I would forward over this action alert from the folks at Fair Wisconsin:

Today Governor Jim Doyle will release his budget proposal to the Wisconsin Legislature. For the first time, he will call on state lawmakers to extend domestic partner health insurance to all state employees.

Please urge your state lawmakers to support domestic partner benefits today. Click here to send a message:

To quote Elvis Costello - I used to be disgusted, but now I try to be amused.

Every time Glenn Grothman opens his mouth, it seems something drops out that's just hard to believe.

Covering the debate surrounding the UW Admissions policy, Madison's Channel 27 interviewed Sen. Grothman to get his take on the issue. Grothman unsurprisingly criticized the decision by the Regents' education committee, but also said that he might propose a compromise where only applicants of one racial minority would receive "special consideration" in the admissions process. He further said, "I think our society is used to giving preference to African Americans, but why in the world would we give preferences to Hispanics, who've just come here?"

The Superior Daily Telegram has it totally backward in its editorial entitled, "Let's Not Show Divisiveness During War."

Our enemies apparently don't read the newspapers, which report an almost total collapse in public support for the war. The public opinion polls, and the results of the November election, apparently have escaped the attention of the Iraqi insurgents.

But if members of Congress speak up or act to put an end to this total failure in Iraq, the enemy might find out the nation is divided, the Telegram says.

It's actually not divided. The people of this country want the war to end. And the people we elected in November have an obligation to speak up loudly and forcefully to try to bring an end to the war, not "silently share their anti-war feelings with Bush."
