From the April 25, 2010 CSI Walworth County Sunday "The Way we see it" column:
In the often-slimy world that is Wisconsin state politics, some lawmakers behave in revealing moments as though they’re born to the muck. Such a moment occurred April 16 in the Assembly, when state Reps. Jeff Wood, I-Chippewa Falls, and Pedro Colon, D-Milwaukee, exposed themselves as authentic political cretins.
They were aided in the cynical exercise by Assembly Speaker Mike Sheridan of Janesville and fellow Democrat Chuck Benedict of Beloit.

For almost a century since the federal income tax was created, most Americans could unite in lamenting the blackest day on the calendar: April 15 — tax day — the traditional deadline for ponying up to the federal leviathan.
For an increasing — and alarming — number of Americans, however, April 15 might as well be a national holiday. According to the left-leaning Tax Policy Center, a record 47 percent of households will pay no federal income tax for 2009. Either their incomes were too low, or they qualified for enough credits, deductions and exemptions to eliminate their liability.

Now that the Democrat health care jihad is over and the truth about punitive costs and mandates trickles in from the mainstream media, Tea Party protesters are learning what their government and its sock puppet propagandists really think of them.
Verdict: You’re all a bunch of atavistic, mouth-breathing racists, enraged by the mere fact that the president is African-American. That he is presiding over an unprecedented, partisan expansion of the federal government apparently is beside the point.

Though Christians today celebrate another joyous Easter, the Roman Catholic Church continues to be roiled by the devastating sex crimes committed for decades around the world by pederast priests. And now, sadly, Wisconsin is in the spotlight, thanks, in part, to a disgraced former archbishop who is desperate to rehabilitate his shattered reputation.
Rembert Weakland, the longtime head of the Milwaukee Catholic Archdiocese, has somehow emerged in recent days as a sympathetic figure in a scandal that ought to consign him to permanent ignominy. Weakland alleged late last month that Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger — today Pope Benedict XVI — failed in 1996 to act on Weakland’s request to defrock Father Lawrence Murphy, who is believed to have sexually abused some 200 boys in his 25 years at St. John’s School for the Deaf in St. Francis. Ratzinger’s deputy allegedly declined to approve a church trial, citing Murphy’s failing health and the time that had passed since the crimes.
