 Blaska's Blog gives as good as he getsDavid Blaska on Thursday 09/02/2010 3:23 pm"How does it feel to be called a racist?" That is the very first question host Stu Levitan posed to the Squire of the Stately Manor in the taping of Access City Hall on the Madison City cable channel. Perhaps he was doing his best imitation of Mike Wallace's old interview show in the 1950s minus the Parliament cigarette. Put the guest on the defensive from the get-go. Except Blaska plays offense. >More  Blaska's Blog speaks loudly for the hard of thinkingDavid Blaska on Tuesday 08/31/2010 8:42 am, (57) Comments, (2) LikesBlaska’s Blog thanks his many readers for placing the Squire of the Stately Manor among the award winners again this year in the Isthmus Annual Manual. The people of Greater Madison, in their infinite wisdom, have named yours truly as one of Madison’s favorite "Vociferous Speakers." >More
 Blaska's Blog warns of the Leftist threat to free speechDavid Blaska on Friday 08/27/2010 1:00 am, (50) Comments, (3) LikesWhen did America's political Left become the sworn enemy of free speech? Was it in the 1990s, when UW-Madison, having fended off Joe McCarthy, then succumbed to the enemy within, its liberal professoriate, by enacting a politically correct faculty speech code that punished unpopular opinions? >More Blaska's Blog: Accept no RTA referendum substitutesDavid Blaska on Monday 08/23/2010 8:58 pm, (13) Comments, (4) LikesEven Matt Veldran can't ignore the people forever. After an intensive grass roots campaign to shame this arrogant county board supervisor, Veldran has finally placed the RTA commuter rail referendum on the Public Works Committee agenda. That committee meets Tuesday, August 24, at 5:30 p.m. in Room 351 of the City County Building. >More Blaska's Blog: Madison EOC says our taxi drivers are racistsDavid Blaska on Friday 08/20/2010 1:19 pm, (3) Comments, (3) LikesTo Madison's Equal Opportunities Commission, racial discrimination lurks around every corner. It's everywhere! It's everywhere! Racists are now driving Madison's taxi cabs. Here we thought they were UW-Madison sociology majors! The mohawk haircuts should have been a clue. >More Blaska's Blog: Hooray for creative destructionDavid Blaska on Thursday 08/19/2010 3:55 pm, (2) Comments, (2) LikesThe big-government Capital Times continues its bizarre quest to influence the Republican U.S. Senate primary in order to derail the nomination of Ron Johnson with a weaker candidate. Any Republican who would listen to "Dane County's Progressive Voice" should be in an SNL skit. >More Blaska's Blog looks for signs of free speech liberalsDavid Blaska on Wednesday 08/18/2010 3:03 pm, (3) LikesI try to understand the liberal mind, I really do. The squire of the Stately Manor regularly trains his powerful Blaskascope on the liberal blogosphere to detect possible signs of intelligence. Does anyone out there understand the concept of free speech? >More Blaska's Blog celebrates the PGA in WisconsinDavid Blaska on Tuesday 08/17/2010 2:55 pm, (4) Comments, (2) LikesThank heaven for Herb Kohler, who created a golf heaven on the shores of Lake Michigan. Who else would do a Whistling Straits? A world-class golf course basically from scratch (those dunes aren’t natural). Who would build a golf course capable of attracting a major tournament, the PGA, and national television network coverage for four straight days? >More Blaska's Blog invites Obama Press Secretary Gibbs to BobFestDavid Blaska on Friday 08/13/2010 6:54 am, (7) Comments, (1) LikeThe big news from our Lake Woebegone friends on the Left is that Jesse Jackson is coming to Baraboo on September 11. Yes, I’ll give Ed Garvey’s Fighting BobFest some pixels. >More Blaska's Blog has no gifts for the G.A.B. assault on political speechDavid Blaska on Tuesday 08/10/2010 3:58 pm, (7) Comments, (2) LikesDo you blog? Do you Tweet and Twitter? Do you e-mail? Stuff mailboxes? Paint signs? Lead protest rallies? Be careful that you don't do so within 30 days of a primary -- the clock starts August 15 -- or 60 days before a general election without checking in with the State of Wisconsin Government Accountability Board. >More Blaska's Blog: Democracy train gains RTA momentumDavid Blaska on Monday 08/09/2010 2:57 pm, (19) Comments, (1) LikeIn the face of this blockade of democracy at the county level, more and more municipalities are holding their own referenda. Looks like you can add the city of Sun Prairie, the second most populous city in the county (29,021), to the list of municipalities that will ask voters yea or nay on the RTA. >More Blaska's Blog: (Some of) the voters will be heard on RTADavid Blaska on Friday 08/06/2010 4:25 pm, (9) Comments, (2) LikesIn the face of appalling arrogance by the majority elites controlling Dane County government, many communities through the county will place their own referenda on the November 2 general election ballot to ask their voters whether they want to be taxed for commuter rail. >More Blaska's Blog hopes to build up tiny chorus of conservatives in academiaDavid Blaska on Wednesday 08/04/2010 11:13 am, (29) Comments, (1) LikeIt was not that long ago minority conservatives and their more mainstream allies with a libertarian bent, both students and faculty, won a 10-year-long battle for, of all things, the right of free speech on campus. >More Blaska's Blog: The bishop and the Isthmus exhibitionistsDavid Blaska on Monday 08/02/2010 11:43 am, (51) Comments, (2) LikesPenned by Esty Dinur, a reliable warhorse of the Madison Left, this week's Isthmus cover story is often hilarious, however unintentionally. Take, for instance, the subhead that accuses Bishop Morlino of having an "Authoritarian Streak." No kidding! Next, Isthmus will be asking the Pope to stop pontificating. >More Blaska's Blog agrees with Shirley Sherrod; time to quit race labelingDavid Blaska on Friday 07/30/2010 9:15 am, (9) Comments, (2) LikesWith the hearty approval of Mr. Jeremy Midthun, champion name-caller Matt Logan responded this way to the Stately Manor's proposal to abolish our national Census' preoccupation with skin color. "Would it surprise you ... if you were labeled a racist?" >More Blaska's Blog says let the people voteDavid Blaska on Wednesday 07/28/2010 4:51 pm, (3) Comments, (2) LikesOpponents of the unelected Regional Transit Authority are asking municipalities to hold their own referendum on whether local sales tax should be increased in order to help support a commuter train running from Middleton to the Town of Burke. >More Blaska's Blog channels Gomer Pyle on the Dane County RTADavid Blaska on Tuesday 07/27/2010 9:57 am, (5) Comments, (3) LikesA resolution was promulgated by several County Board members to place a straightforward referendum on the Nov. 2 general election ballot to ask the people of Dane County whether they want to be taxed for a commuter train from Middleton to Madison to (almost) Sun Prairie. The liberal majority wants no part of that plebiscite. Better for the RTA Board to develop a comprehensive plan first than to ask the people whether they want the RTA Board to develop a comprehensive plan first. >More Blaska's Blog: 'JournoLists' wield the smearing brush of racismDavid Blaska on Monday 07/26/2010 10:32 am, (3) Comments, (1) LikePerhaps a hundred or more liberal "journalists" (sorry for the redundancy) plotted via an e-mail ListServ called "JournoList." Now, some of their employers -- like The Nation -- are straight-forward partisan opinion journals. We have a few of those on the Right. But others are supposedly mainstream and objective purveyors of fact. Time? The once-revered Baltimore Sun? >More Blaska's Blog: Whitewashing the race issueDavid Blaska on Wednesday 07/21/2010 3:34 pm, (28) Comments, (2) LikesThe irony is delicious. Who is victimized by a charge of racism? A black woman. Shirley Sherrod gets fired from her federal job in Georgia by the Obama administration because a white man accused her of racism. >More Blaska's Blog: Race to the bottomDavid Blaska on Tuesday 07/20/2010 12:32 pm, (23) Comments, (2) LikesAs a good conservative, appearing on Wisconsin Public Radio’s Week in Review program on Friday, I was asked to repudiate racism. "I denounce racism wherever it exists, including in the NAACP," I answered. >More
