Beware of supersonic paint chips! The Cuban missile crisis gave a certain farm boy nightmares of a mushroom cloud rising into the sky behind the sileage silos to the southwest, in the general direction of Madison WI. Now The Werkes learns that Russia has launched 1,240 miles above planet Earth a satellite named Cosmos 2553. It has that orbit to itself — 20 miles higher than the thousands…

State Rep. Snodgrass compiles a ‘fraught legacy’ Political essayist Michael Kinsley observed that a gaffe is when a politician unintentionally utters what s/he really thinks. We give you State Rep. Lee Snodgrass, Democrat out of Appleton WI. At the death 12-01-24 of David Prosser, retired WI Supreme Court justice and former WI Assembly Speaker, rather than remain silent, Rep. Snodgrass decided…

Sorry to ruin your Christmas but … “Kamala Cat Lady” yard signs are still stuck in the permafrost of Madison WI this cold winter’s day (in a deep and dark December). So why is Blaska nattering about candidates, campaigns, and elections?! Kick the habit! But an election looms on April 1 that will determine whether the state supreme court remains 4 to 3 progressive or switches back to…

Joe Biden: a feeble, foolish President! Bret Stephens in the NY Times: Don’t blame us, we voted for Kodos! If Democrats want to understand one of the reasons the Republican Party is ascendant, they can look to President Biden’s pardon on Sunday for his son Hunter. In its rank mendacity, political hypocrisy, naked self-dealing and wretched example, it typifies so much of what so many Americans…

Throw momma off the train! We don’t think it’s a parody. A New York Times Magazine feature called “The Ethicist” is an advice column but in place of Dear Aunt Blabby the thing is adjudicated by a philosophy professor with the appropriately diverse, inclusive, and equitable name of Kwame Anthony Appiah.   Seeking the professor’s advice, blessings, or permission, his over-educated, affluent, and…

I’ve got a stupid release in which there’s no subtitles when they speak chinese and vietnamese. It’s another attempt to make a Street Fighter movie. Chun-Li progressively changes her race when she ages. The final actress has stick hands and stick legs, no muscles at all. Why do you even pick a skin and bones stick figure to play a turbo-muscular girl? Her mum looks younger than the daughter. Vega…

Can’t accept defeat of ‘woman of color’! Like a fly on a cow pie, the publisher of The Capital Times admits that he spent the run-up to Election Day 2024 with his nose buried in Rachel Maddow’s heaving bosom and other progressive pashas. That’s the problem, Paul Fanlund! Get out of Madison WI! Borrow Blaska’s Ford Ranger pick up truck and head out to Muscoda or Montfort and put your elbows on…

as the seasons greet us! The widescreen HDTV (not the b&w Philco) quit in the middle of the Lovely Lisa’s Hallmark channel melodrama, another episode where cutesy kids and impossibly affluent young adults chirp mindlessly about getting in “the Christmas spirit.” (Tugging on our belt: I got yer Christmas spirit RIGHT HERE!) Even a chance encounter spikes this scribe’s hyperglycemia; we’re…
