Free Market Strikes In Green Bay

By Jeff Simpson 



 Karma bides it’s time. You will always have to watch out. Karma is unforgiving and always gets payback.– Benjamin Bayani
Jerry Bader, the right wing hate talker from Green Bay, who has a career of racism, sexism and flat out lies, was let go from his daily spewing hatred radio show.    

While Bader says it is because he is a never trumper, the reality is he is a small fish in a big pond and always thought of himself as a Muskie. 

His perpetual attempts to be a poor mans Charlie Sykes, turned out to be more worthy of pity than audience share. 

In an era where businesses are cutting costs and employees, one where Republicans like to tout the free market when hundreds get laid off, was bitten by the same bug that has brought him so much joy these last few years. 

His radio show was boring stale and unimaginative.  While his old employer still has hate talkers, Rush, Levin and Hannity are still being played on the airwaves, the station does not have to provide them with insurance, benefits or expenses. 

The free market in action. 

When Charlie Sykes defends you, there is nothing else that needs to be said!

Bader was a courageous, principled voice, who refused to join other talkers on Trump train despite threats from management. #Respect
Bader has another job. he works for Mediatrackkkers(which is part of the wing nut welfare system of WI).   In the history of their ridiculous blog, no one who has written for them has ever had even an inkling of principle.

Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Let us realize the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” 

Justice today, was served! 
 The Law of Karma is also called the Law of Cause and Effect, Action and Reaction and: as you sow, so shall you reap.– Sham Hinduja

Alberta Darling: Voucher School Drop Out

You wouldn't smile either
if you just got caught in
yet another lie.
This past Wednesday, State Senator Alberta "I ain't no" Darling went on the Charlie Sykes show to peddle Scott Walker's budget and agenda to drive this state further into the ground.

One of the myriad of turds she was trying to polish was the one of voucher schools.  Starting at about the 11:30 mark, you can hear Darling trying to justify selling out the education and the future of the state's children with this statement (emphasis mine):
“Well you know, if you look at two of the areas the Governor targeted – Beloit and Green Bay – most people will say, ‘No, Green Bay doesn’t have a problem like Milwaukee.’ Well, the graduation rate is the same as or similar to Beloit – like 40%. So there are a lot of ah school districts around the state that are not far behind Milwaukee in terms of need of great improvement and need of the state’s attention. So we’re gonna see a compromise on the voucher program and it’s gonna be a good one.”
So Darling is saying that the graduation rate in Green Bay is around 40%.

As the PolitiFarce guys would say, let's check those numbers.

The DPI issued their numbers, and as the gentle reader can plainly see, the graduation rate for the Green Bay School District in the 2011-12 school year is 80%, up two points from the previous year:


And for kids that stay at the same high school for all four years, the graduation rate jumps up to 95%.

That's a far cry from the 40% that Darling is claiming.

Now, it could be that Darling, who is an avid golfer, has been spending too much time on the links.  More likely, she's been spending too much time at the 19th hole.

But no matter how you look at it, Darling's accuracy was grossly sub par.

We rate Darling as golfing knickers on fire.
