Here's A Big Word For PaddyMac: Cementencephalous

Cementencphalous: meaning is mind is all mixed up and firmly set, like cement.

Example:

Funny how the same people appalled at suburban spread now seem eager that vacanat[sic] land by a freeway in Wauwatosa not be used for a college. Others now want to leave undeveloped a former dump in St. Francis. You’d think using such urban in-fill sites already surrounded by plentiful parkland would be preferable to making colleges go hunt campus space out past the urban fringe, but I’m not a green, so I’m not up on all the dogma.

Of course, to believe Preview Paddy, one would have to ignore what Dave Reid, The River Otter, and yours truly have been writing for weeks, in which we offer viable and more rewarding sites such as the Park East Corridor, St. Columbia's Hospital, and downtown Milwaukee (multiple sites), to name just a few.

But then again, he's not intellectually honest, so he's not up on all that dogma.

Perhaps if the National Review, the Washington Post and/or Dad29 would link to us, he might have been aware that he was a mistake. Then again, since that appears to be where he does get his information, he probably wouldn't catch on anyway.

No Amoking Zone

If it weren't for emotions, would anyone be going amok? And just how are they ban someone from going amok, anyway?

No Comment Necessary

'Nuff said.

I Knew This Would Happen...

Sykes Still Pushing His Book

It's hard to get rid of all those copies that no one wants.

Republican Businessmen Don't Like Doyle

The Brawler has returned from his undisclosed location to tell us this not so breaking news: Republican business men don't like Doyle:

Patrick McIlheran prints, and Charlie Sykes, as ever, retreads, an email from businessman John Radke warning how the Doyleone budget will kill teh jobs in Wisconsin.

Unmentioned: Radke is active in an anti-Doyle Republican front group.

And while Radke hails Indiana's budget surplus, he fails to note that Mitch Daniels has raised sales taxes, cigarette taxes and other taxes have gone up as well.

Belling's Welching Goes National

Olbermann v. Belling

Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy

Advantage: Olbermann

Missing The Point

A couple of weeks ago, during the Miss U.S.A. pageant, Miss California stated that she was against gays being allowed equal rights and being allowed to marry.

One of the judges, Perez Hilton, went overboard and got carried away in attacking her.

Since then, a lot of garbage has turned up on Miss California, and she may lose her crown for violating her contract with the Miss California pageant.

Predictably, the right wing has gone absolutely nutty about the issue. Sykes has been talking about it almost every day as well as posting gratuitous pictures of her. James Harris has been clamoring for attention with his martyr role while posting more gratuitous pictures of her.

But the thing that the Posse Comatose and the hysteric Hilton are all guilty of is continuing the sexist behavior of objectifying women and demeaning them by having the pageant in the first place.

In case you missed it...

...here's the call.

Belling The Welcher

As is his wont, Mark Belling shot off his mouth again last week. It's compulsive with him. It's like he can't help himself, but feels an uncontrollable urge to make an ass out of himself whenever possible, and sometimes when it's impossible.

While handicapping the Kentucky Derby, Belling wrote this comment about one of the horses, Mine That Bird:

#8 MINE THAT BIRD---If this horse wins, I’ll never bet on another race
and will vote for Jim Doyle for reelection.

Well, as you can guess, Mine That Bird won the race.

Joe Wineke, head of the DPW, decided to have some fun at Belling's expense and sent out a release announcing Belling would be supporting Governor Doyle for reelection and even sent him a membership card to fill out.

True to form, Belling backpedaled and tried to put additional conditions on the statement. This, of course, makes Belling a loud-mouthed, hypocritical snake that should not be trusted.

In other words, just a normal day for him.

Tim Cuprisin has more.

Bellowing Wrong Again

Bellowing gave us a big "scoop" the other day regarding the GOP race to lose to Doyle (emphasis mine):

That’s why many who respect Neumann are going to urge him to drop out. When the Republicans hold their state convention this weekend, Walker will unveil an endorsement list that looks like a Republican Hall of Fame. His campaign is planning an overwhelming presence at the convention. It’s their hope Neumann will recognize what he’s up against and bow out. Scoop: former Gov. Tommy Thompson is very likely to endorse Walker this summer, a move that will more than neutralize the backing Neumann is getting from Thompson’s former top aide, Jim Klauser.

What does TOMMY!!! say? Stick it to 'em:

Former Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson is considering a run for Wisconsin governor.

Thompson told 12 News that he’s currently looking for other candidates to step up before he throws his hat in the ring.

The revelation comes one day after Scott Walker announced his intention to run for the seat.

Thompson offered Walker his best wishes -- but stopped short of endorsing him. He said he looks forward to other Republicans entering the race.

PaddyMac Is Wrong On Rights

IllyT explains.

I Think He Was Guessing Low

James Rowen notes that the right wing media is alarmed because the government is listening to us and doing what we ask of them.

How does he know they are upset?

I'll let him explain:

In response, conservative talk radio this morning sounded the Sky Is Falling alarm.

Since Bill Clinton's election, and with the minute-by-minute on-air catastrophizing since the emergence of Barack Obama as a political force, today's Sky Is Falling alerts put the number of alerts at 17,328.

Really.
