Will PBS ever broadcast the film ‘Citizen Koch?’

WNET may not show the anti-Koch film ‘Citizen Koch’ after all. David Koch’s presence on the WNET board may have kept the program off the air, but then he’s gone now…

WisDems Chair Mike Tate may be telling others that he’s being picked on

But if he is, then it’s because he thinks that blogger Ed Garvey’s question about how much Tate makes as WisDems chair is out-of-bounds. Garvey has a reply:

No, Mike, I am not picking on you. I am just asking you to tell us how much the party will have to pay the next chair and how much you get paid. You could get some very talented people for the salary a legislator gets.

['You could get some very talented people' - Garvey wields the shiv well - ed.]

Harvard students say they want academic freedom and reasoned debate

But when the conclusions of academic freedom and reasoned debate disappoint those students, then they seem to want the very political standards that would undermine that academic freedom.

Esenberg offers best wishes to WisDem official

From the very bottom of his heart:

News is that Graeme Zielinski has resigned from the employ of the state Democratic Party. There is no sense in sugar coating Graeme Zielinski. He cultivated a singularly mean spirited and hateful public persona. One can only hope it was an act. That he actually believed the things he said is a scary thought.
