Sen. Alberta Darling
Unity

At the end of the day on July 2, in advance of the long July 4 holiday weekend, the Legislature’s Joint Finance Committee introduced its wrap-up motion to the budget approval process. Known as the 999 motion, it included 67 different proposals — many of them highly controversial and unrelated to the budget. Most, if not all of the proposals, were presented without prior debate or discussion.

Included among the 999 proposals introduced by Sen. Alberta Darling, R-River Hills, and Rep. John Nygren, R-Marinette, were measures to gut the state’s open records law, allow oil sands pipeline companies to seize any private land in the state through eminent domain, repeal the state’s “living wage” law, and delete information from investigative reports of shootings or other deaths caused by police officers.

2. And yet they still refuse to retract all of their endorsements of this asshole.

Fuck the Journal Sentinel. Until I see them expressing the least regret that they had a hand in fousting this drooling mofo on us, I refuse to visit their site or link to it.

That said, thanks for sharing. A front page call out is probably as close as we will ever get from them by way if apology for helping to fuck us over.

3. The Urinal Sentinel is

one step above Charlie Sykes and Belling as far as trustworthy Wisconsin news sources go. I still like their sports coverage, especially Brewers, but that's about it.
