In response to “Let them drink beer” by the Editorial Board:

This is childish. Madison has a clear problem with alcohol consumption, and it’s clear the CNI does not want to target the law-abiding students. Their proposals are clear; they want to limit the ones who are not abiding the law. And while this article seems to brush off the phenomena of 18-20-year-olds illegally entering bars by labeling those that try to stop them as “condescending,” the fact of the matter is that they ARE breaking the law.

In response to “He’s not the best, but Bush not worst president either” by Ryan Masse:

Rationalization: The substitution of a rational pretext for a real reason, with an implication of self-delusion or hypocrisy; the improvisation of a plausible reason for a human action when one either does not realize the real reason or seeks to keep it secret; the use of a false but reasonable justification or interpretation of an attitude or action, which appears to be unsatisfactory or contrary to accepted reasoning, when one is either ashamed or not aware of his actual motive.

Keep voting Republican, Masse.

In response to “Stopping Dane’s District 5 yawn” by Jason Smathers:

District 5 just keeps farting on the city.

In response to “HillaryCare veils socialist disaster?” by Joe Trovato:

Do you play much HACKy sack Joe?

In response to “Stimulus needed for legislators’ minds, not economy” by Corey Sheahan:


I disagree with you, Corey. Everyone knows the best way to create a thriving economy is by triggering massive inflation. Remember when you could buy a loaf of bread for a nickel, a gallon of gas for $0.98, or a stamp for a quarter. To paraphrase Dark Helmet from “Spaceballs”: Keep printing money, assholes!

In response to “Bill brings out worst in Clinton Camp” by Bassey Etim:

Monica Lewinsky has not tarnished the Clinton legacy, but his wife’s candidacy has. Why doesn’t Maria Schriver run for president? I’m sure the White House has a back door.
