07/28/14Liberal county board members: hold your secret meetings where there is beer!The tightie-whiteys here at the Blaska Police Research Werkes (and Tanning Salon) remain resolutely untwisted. But good on the Wisconsin State Journal for highlighting the secret meetings conducted by the liberal-progressive-socialist super-majority on the Dane County Board.

07/22/14The Stately Manor is shovel-ready and hammer happyThe roof vents were briefly installed backwards, the prefabbed roof joists were off an inch, the yard delivered the wrong cedar siding. What would any project be without minor hiccups? The great garage (pronounced “Gay-rahj”) addition to the historic Stately Manor is proceeding nicely. Posted at 10:38 AM | Permalink | Comments: 3 |

07/17/14Who is paying ‘Anonymous’ to spam my blogge with his statist tripe?“Anonymous” has a beef with Blaska’s brief on free speech earlier this week, wherein I beseeched the incorporated news media to speak out for the free speech of other groups of citizens, especially those whose homes were raided by the government in the John Doe II probe.

Show up with your extended family, no job, no housing, and no money and the mayor hisself will come get you and hook you up with all those taxpayer-paid services.
