An alternate account of the Prosser-Bradley confrontation surfaces: Did she "charge him with fists raised"?

Nobody knows Wisconsin better that Ann Althouse. She has posted a report on her very fine blog that questions a story of a Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Prosser allegedly laying his hands around Supreme Court Justice Bradley to choke her. The story broke in the press yesterday even though the alleged incident occurred more than a week ago on June 13.

Why the week delay to report the story and where’s the police report?

Sounds like Liberal judge Bradley is seeking to destroy the reputation of conservative judge Prosser because she was on the losing side that upheld Gov Scott Walker’s law to remove some collective bargaining rights from public sector unions.

Here’s the story

The GOP Will Pay a Grave Price for passing Gay Marriage

It’s gonna get very ugly in New York, mark my words! This vote signed into law by fornicator-in-chief, Andrew Cuomo will come back to haunt him in a big way.

You’ve been warned, Andrew!

National Review

New York Republicans are responsible for passing gay marriage. The party will pay a grave price.

Here is what we know. In state after state, Democrats who control a chamber in support of their base have prevented votes favorable to marriage: Iowa, West Virginia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania.

When Democrats are in the minority, they’ve demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to their base — in Wisconsin and Indiana fleeing the state to prevent a vote.

N.Y, Republicans did not have to bring gay marriage up for a vote: What does it mean that they passed gay marriage in N.Y.?

Michael Long, the Conservative-party chairman, has vowed to withhold his endorsement. The National Organization for Marriage has committed $2 million to persuading Republicans: Voting for gay marriage has consequences.

Sad that the N.Y. GOP has caved. Consequences to be continued.

‘Do as You’re Told’: Here‘s How Australian Tobacco Companies Are Fighting the ’Nanny State’


I’m not a smoker!

However, I feel for people who are because they have become social pariahs thanks to the workings activists and the Nanny State.

If smoking is so terrible, why not totally ban the sale of it? Maybe the loss of tax revenue for the government has something to do with it?

Hmm!


The Blaze

Recently The Blaze reported on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration releasing nine new and grotesque warning labels for cigarette packs. The labels feature graphic images, including corpses, rotting teeth and gums, and a man with a tracheotomy smoking, along with the phrases “Smoking can kill you” and “Cigarettes cause cancer.”

But while proponents of the anti-smoking campaign see this as a victory in the public health arena, others fear it is a major step towards an all-intrusive Nanny State. It makes one wonder if they will start displaying photos of a cirrhosised liver on liquor bottles, or a list of all diabetes-related ailments on a box of Twinkies.

Tennessee Black bear is hit by police cruiser ... then gets up and runs off


Who says Bears aren’t tough birds?


Daily Mail






You wouldn't want to meet a black bear in the dead of night, but then again this particular beast probably wasn't keen on a showdown with a police patrol car in the darkness.

Deputy Jason Harvey was completing an uneventful patrol, winding his way down Highway 127 on Singal Mountain in Sequatchie County, Tennessee, on Friday night.

Suddenly, out of nowhere a young bear is in the middle of the road.

Sheriff Ronnie Hitchcock said: 'Just below the scenic overlook, a black bear jumped into the road.'

Deputy Harvey's cruiser camera recorded the entire incident: the bear cub got bumped from behind.

'He knocked it down the road 25-30ft,' Sheriff Hitchcock said.

This is gonna hurt: The young black bear jumps out of the bushes and runs in front of the police car

Too fast, too close: The bear's head is clearly visible as the cruiser tries to slow down just inches from the animal
After regaining its balance, the bear didn't hang around to check for damage. Seemingly uninjured, the animal shot off into the woods.

Deputy Harvey's cruiser suffered minimal damage.
All Sheriff's Department vehicles have protective cages mounted on their front bumpers.

Sarah Palin to attend premiere of The Undefeated in Iowa

When I read this I thought Sarah was attending the showing of one of my favorite John Wayne films.

My bad, the movie chronicles Palin’s rise to fame and features prominent conservatives like Mark Levin and Andrew Breitbart.

But, the Wayne film is fantastic!

(BUMPED) Gay Marriage comes to New York because NY GOPers ain’t worth a lump of shit


I might as well get back in the mix with guns blazing!

I was away for a couple of weeks tending to a sick Dad with lung cancer. In that time I heard drips of news here and there concerning the Gay Marriage bill in my beloved New York.

It doesn’t look good for people who believe correctly that marriage should be between a man and a woman as the good Lord intended. Spare me the talk of marriage inequality and second class citizenship for homosexuals.

I couldn’t care less!

I believe in a Holy God that sets the rules on how we should live. And if that God says that homosexuality is an abomination in three different faiths (Christianity, Judaism, and the chic religion of the Left, Islam) then we all bear the burden of ignoring that decree.

However, it’s a tough pill to swallow that the deciding votes on this disgrace of a bill may come at the hands of worthless Republicans that have turned their backs on traditional values.

That this is happening is not surprising to me because I’ve lived in NY all my 48 yrs. So I know these GOP bustards are no better than Democrats.

But, it’s painful nonetheless!

I think New York needs to truly be called Sin City instead of Las Vegas. After all we have a governor in Andrew Cuomo who is a devout fornicator and we're the state who produced Anthony Weiner. How much of a freak show this state has become?
