Where to begin? As the state's top education bureaucrat, Tony Evers has a been a reliable supporter of what Bill Bennett once memorably dubbed, 'The Blob," the educational establishment cartel. Evers has, for example, been an outspoken critic of Act 10 and has aligned himself with some of the more unhinged critics.

Via Hotair. Team Obama says it is "absolutely" willing to take the nation over the fiscal cliff unless it gets higher tax rates of the wealthy. Rates, not revenue, mind you. Obama is adamant that he's not interested in the GOP approach of raising revenue through limiting deductions and loopholes... a reactionary approach embraced by this guy.... in July 2011.

Despite a near-total repudiation of its complaint by the NLRB, the immigrant/unionista activist group Voces de la Frontera is desperately trying to somehow spin a shellacking into a victory. Aaron Rodriguez isn't having it. In this devastating piece, lays out the extent of Palermo's vindication in the final order handed down Friday (and somehow missed by the dead tree.)

From the beginning, Milwaukee County DA John Chisolm had adamantly denied that there is any political agenda behind the 2-year old "secret" John Doe probe into former aides to Scott Walker's former county staffers. Even as his fellow Democrats turned the Doe into the centerpiece of their recall campaign against walker, Chisolm insisted that the probe itself was non-political.
