For a Good Escape from Reality

I'd advise all readers of the BBA who lack common sense on the Voter ID issue to check out the editorial of those fine neo-communists and conspiracy pushers at the Madison Capital Times.

It is, after all, Ed Garvey's newspaper of choice.

Here's a fine example of their continued lapse from reality.

The bill was cynical attempt by the Republicans to reverse their political fortunes - they have lost every major statewide contest since 1998 - by making it harder for at least 120,000 eligible voters to cast ballots, and it merited the veto. But backers of the bill, in the Legislature and the media, had created such a smoke screen that many Wisconsinites wondered why it was the subject of so much controversy.

Yes. It's all about winning statewide for us. I see.

So then 7,000 names that they can't find addresses for is no big deal to the Cap Times. Or the staying open of the Madison City Clerk's Office with the distinct purpose of getting Illinois liberals to vote after a Bruce Springsteen concert is also no big deal? Sheenanigan's in Racine and Kenosha?

No wonder only the kook fringe takes this paper seriously.
