No joke. Very conservative radio host Bill Cunningham, who is indeed a personal friend of the Ohio Governor, appeared on the Ed Show and explained his recent commercial imploring Ohio voters to vote tomorrow to repeal Kasich's union-busting legislation known as "issue 2."

Today In WTF? Wisconsin Edition
June 27th, 2011
After the miraculous discovery of unsecured votes in the 11th hour of the recent Wisconsin Supreme Court election, one might have thought that the victor, Justice David Prosser, would be mindful that his every action would need to bear greater scrutiny. After all, Prosser didn't have the most sterling of reputations prior to the debacle.
Just before the vote, Meg Jones wrote for the Journal Sentinel:
"Prosser recently acknowledged that he called Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson a "bitch" behind closed doors and threatened to "destroy her" more than a year ago when the court split over removing fellow Justice Michael Gableman from a criminal case as he faced an ethics allegation."
Flash forward to just two weeks ago. Not only has Justice Prosser seemingly learned no lessons in decorum, much less humility, it is alleged that he has taken his resentment and animosity towards his fellow female justices to dangerous new levels.
From the JS:
"Supreme Court Justice Ann Walsh Bradley late Saturday accused fellow Justice David Prosser of putting her in a chokehold during a dispute in her office earlier this month.
"The facts are that I was demanding that he get out of my office and he put his hands around my neck in anger in a chokehold," Bradley told the Journal Sentinel."
If true, the actions stipulated by Justice Bradley constitute a felony assault under Wisconsin law.
Now, if you thought that this was the WTF? moment, hold onto your hats. Leave it to the resident, senior legal expert at FOX News, Greta Van Susterin, to devolve the discussion further. In a post from her Gretawire site, a post that has been subsequently scrubbed, Van Susterin coolly analyzed the breaking news and argued that Chief Justice Abrahamson must resign. You read that right.
Greta Van Susterin as quoted by ThinkProgress:
"And while I have no idea who is off the wall (Justice Prosser or Justice Walsh or both), I do know one thing, CHIEF JUSTICE SHIRLEY ABRAHAMSON sure is not doing her job to lead the court and to give confidence to the people of Wisconsin. She needs to step aside and let someone else attempt to run that zoo."
Greta seems to have actually argued that a male Justice allegedly physically assaulting a female Justice is the result of a failure to lead on the part of... another female Justice. Again, Van Susterin has removed the post from her site without comment.

Only Progressive Special Interests Are Bad
April 6th, 2011
That would seem to be the message on FOX. Media Matters notes that more outside money went to Prosser than Kloppenberg. That sure didn't make this segment from America Live.

Quote Of The Day
Mar 2nd, 2011
"If, in the present chaotic and shameful struggle for existence, when organized society offers a premium on greed, cruelty, and deceit, men can be found who stand aloof and almost alone in their determination to work for good rather than gold, who suffer want and persecution rather than desert principle, who can bravely walk to the scaffold for the good they can do humanity,
what may we expect from men when freed from the grinding necessity of selling the better part of themselves for bread?" -- Lucy Parsons
