You defined a big parade rain. Let's see how this tinkles out.

Nobody hopes for "tinkle" more than me. But it's my experience that if you prepare for the worst and it doesn't happen because you prepared, you can then celebrate.

exactly my philosophy about pretty much everything. and certainly EVERYTHING in the world of American politics.

I fondly remember that time when someone prank-called Scott Walker claiming to be one of the Koch brothers and he spent at least a few minutes sounding like someone approaching the "money shot" during phone sex. the frightening part of this episode is how unembarrassed Walker was about the whole thing.

I seem to be finding myself saying "whatta dick" with increasing frequency.

whatta dick.

My comment more of sadness and a sense of, here we go again. Will this never end? Why did the dems try to play cutsey in the primary with, wink, wink, by trying to get the weakest repub candidate as competition, and hearing Kelly would not concede victory to a lesser candidate. Some noise now about repub legislators not wanting to play the impeachment card for ... political reasons. They really do believe that are at war with us and the fight to win or vanquish is necessary. $42 million spent on the nonpartisan judgship. Tortured reasoning about the character of a judge that couldn't hold up in a bar full of wife beaters. Your reporting is spot on. Just hate it when loss gets pulled from the jaws of victory ... or something like that.

Yes, TC, I read about the impeachment possibility for Janet Protasiewicz. I thought her election was being celebrated too soon. The radical Republicans will never stop trying to steal power. Independents and Democrats can never, never, never, ever be distracted from the goal of strengthening democracy. The Republicans will steal the rest of us blind.

failure Dems shave seen coming
