Margaret Thatcher

By Jeff Simpson

Margaret Hilda Thatcher, Baroness Thatcher, LG, OM, PC, FRS (née Roberts, 13 October 1925 – 8 April 2013) was a British Conservative Party politician who was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990 and the Leader of the Conservative Party from 1975 to 1990. She was the longest-serving British Prime Minister of the 20th century and is the only woman to have held the office. A Soviet journalist called her the "Iron Lady", a nickname that became associated with her uncompromising politics and leadership style. As Prime Minister, she implemented policies that have come to be known as Thatcherism.

Baroness Thatcher passed away yesterday and boy were the righties sad....from the ridiculous to the  incredibly misinformed!  Unfortunately for the world, and the British, the woman that the righties memorialized, never existed(like so many of their heroes)! 

Cudahy - District 3!

There is a very interesting race for Cudahy Alderman - District 3 that I wanted to point out!   It is a race between a progressive leader in ZachWisniewski, and far right blogger Randy Hollenbeck! 

A couple things I wanted to point out.  It appears that you do not have to love Randy Hollenbeck as he seems to love himself enough for everyone.  His self description falls just short of declaring himself "the most interesting man in the world": 

I am an Ultra-Conservative, Alpha-Male, True Authentic Leader, Type "C" Personality, who is very active in my community; whether it is donating time, clothes or money for Project Concern or going to Common Council meetings and voicing my opinions. As a blogger, I intend to provide a different viewpoint "The way I see it!" on various world, national and local issues with a few helpful tips & tidbits sprinkled in

As Margaret Thatcher once said

"Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't!"

Another and even more important thing to keep in mind is an old Japanese Proverb:

 “When the character of a man is not clear to you, look at his friends.”

Here is Randy giving a speech at a CRG(citizens for responsible government) rally in 2009.   The readers of CogDis, are familiar with a Wisconsin based right wing hate group called CRG!  If you remember, they were the Vile cowards that sent out the loathsome anonymous attack on the Janesville teachers!  They are also well known for being deceitful and dishonest. 

Is this the kind of people you want your Alder people beholden too?   I did not think so!

Help Zach, throw him $5, tell your friends, offer up your yard for a sign, and most important of all - VOTE for Zach Wisniewski on April 2nd, 2013!
