A story has been popping around the internets about a lawsuit John McCain’s mom filed against his first wife back in 1980.

While this tale may at long last make the story of McCain leaving his injured first wife to court the millionaire beer baroness to whom he is now married of interest to the media – in the same way Jeremiah Wright’s image was omnipresent for weeks, what would be great it’ll bring up how hypocritical McCain is when it comes to so-called tort reform.   Read More »
From the legislator who brought the great state of Wisconsin a plan to arm teachers with guns in an effort to curb school violence (you all remember his hilarious appearance on the Daily Show about 2 years ago…), comes another idea worthy of all kinds of jokes and ridicule – lifting a ban on drilling for oil in the Great Lakes.    Read More »

Pro-corporate soulmate Supremes Mike Gableman and Annette Ziegler get closer by the day.

The latest revelation, Gableman’s going to pull a Ziegler and rule on cases where Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce is involved – despite WMC dumping nearly $2 million during his run to get on the high court.

Ziegler earned front page headlines after she provided the deciding vote and wrote the opinion on the WMC-backed Mensha Corp. case – costing taxpayers $265 million and making WMC’s $2 million investment in Ziegler’s ascendency to the top court a worthwhile investment.

Now Gableman tells wispolitics.com that he makes distinctions between those special interests which filled his campaign coffers and those special interests which dumped $2 million in smear ads. Sounds like WMC is getting let off the hook on a technicality. And we know how they hate technicalities.

WMC has launched a (multi-)million dollar fundraising campaign to its members to finance continued issue-based smear campaigns against progressives who don’t kow-tow to WMC’s pro-corporate, anti-worker agenda.
 
We all know WMC has distorted the records of numerous public officials over the years, most notably in recent efforts to get the ethically-challenged Mike Gableman and Annette Ziegler onto the state’s highest court, as well as put the pampered JB Van Hollen into the state’s top cop slot. These moves were designed to create Supreme Court and Justice Department that lets business do whatever it wants and put to death any remaining consumer protections the people of Wisconsin still maintain.   Read More »
