For two days last week, former Milwaukee Police Chief Arthur Jones sat in the witness box of a federal courtroom and vigorously - sometimes defiantly - defended his actions in office, and denied the allegations of racism about which 17 white men, once Jones' lieutenants, have sued him. The suit could cost the city millions since each of the 17 lieutenants is asking for $300,000 plus other damages and an immediate promotion to captain, a department rank filled only by the chief's appointees Their claim - which in court was buttressed by sources ranging from the content of a department...

We're all completely familiar by now with the pretty rock-solid indications that the Democrats stole the Washington governors race - and now that we're getting proof of the rather large Democratic efforts at voter fraud, I think it is high time we started to look everywhere - and some people have started to take a look at Wisconsin. Stranded on Blue Islands gives us the whole scoop about the Wisconsin vote but I'll just note three things: 1. You can register to vote on election day in Wisconsin. 2. In Miwaukee alone, 10,000 votes cannot be verified - ie, they...

She says that like it's a bad thing. In a Boston Herald article ("Kerry steeling himself for visit to Heinz territory", 1/23/2002), Teresa Heinz Kerry revealed her true feelings about the Packers loyalists. She mentioned that, at the 1996 Super Bowl, Green Bay Packer fans were "partying harder than anyone she had ever seen". "I've never seen fans drink so much," she said.

Last month, John Kerry lauded "Lambert Field" during a visit to Wisconsin. He has yet to acknowledge Lambeau Field, the historic home of the Green Bay Packers. (Look for a Football Fans For Truth billboard coming soon near Lambeau Field, educating Wisconsin football fans about Kerry.) John Kerry also praised the Ohio State Buckeyes football team--during a visit to Michigan. John Kerry throws a football like a girl. NEW! Outraged fans throughout the nation have alerted us to The Great Football Flinch (right). We combed the archives for exculpatory evidence, but as of yet have found none that prevent this...

Football Fans for Truth is urgently looking for dedicated FReepers in Wisconsin to help with rallies and events at select sporting events in Green Bay. You can check out their website at www.footballfansfortruth.us for more on the group. They have a billboard going up in Green Bay later this month and need some people on the ground in Wisconsin to help coordinate activites, especially at "Lambert Field" as John Kerry calls it. Why is this important? Because it cuts directly to the issue that Kerry is a phony. He's a poser, plain and simple. Using sports to point this out...

Candidate tries to regain footing after Lambeau Sept. 14 - Forget soccer moms and NASCAR dads. The most important demographic in these parts transcends gender and geography -- it's Green Bay Packers fans. Both candidates are targeting them with the ferocity of a Brett Favre bullet, but only John F. Kerry has fumbled the name of the hallowed grounds on which the Packers play, the frozen tundra of Curly Lambeau Field. At a campaign event last month, the Democratic presidential nominee called it Lambert Field -- a slip of the tongue carried on television, in papers throughout the state and...

THE FROZEN TUNDRA OF... LAMBERT FIELD? [08/26 08:05 PM] Steve Chaggaris of CBS News reports: On Wednesday, Kerry made his third visit to Green Bay, Wis., this year and made it a point to focus on the main thing the city revolves around: football and the Green Bay Packers... As he was taking questions from the audience, he referred to the legendary Packers stadium, Lambeau Field (which has been called that for 39 years) as "Lambert Field." If the voters catch wind of that gaffe, it could take Kerry another three visits to Green Bay to make up for it....

WASHINGTON (AFP) - US Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry (news - web sites) has joined the ranks of the "Cheeseheads," the devoted group of American football fans who love Wisconsin's Green Bay Packers. Kerry has become a devotee of the National Football League's Packers and a backer of quarterback Brett Favre in hopes they will bring him luck. In the past 18 US presidential elections, the final pre-election result of the national capitol's gridiron team, the Washington Redskins, has been an accurate forecaster of the presidential election result that followed. When the Redskins win, the incumbent remains in the White...

The Democratic presidential candidates are hitting Wisconsin hard in the coming days to win next Tuesday's state primary. About 50 students and Howard Dean supporters greeted the former Vermont governor outside Reeve Memorial Union Thursday morning when Dean and his wife stopped on the U.W.-Oshkosh campus. After that, Dean was whisked off to the Grand Opera House in Oshkosh to speak to more supporters. Supporters say Dean could pull a surprise and win the Wisconsin primary. "Polls tell you something but the voters are going to make the decision," Dean supporter Matt Baldwin said. "We're building a lot of momentum...

Bring it on, Cheeseheads! We love Brett, hate the Packers By WILLIAM BUNCH bunchw@phillynews.com AP The always dangerous Brett Favre LOVE the man. Hate the town. OK, let's drop the atty-tude for about 10 seconds, and give some props to Green Bay Packers' QB Brett Favre. All of America - yes, even us - loves the spunk of this future Hall of Famer and his Hollywood-ready saga. It was Favre - in case you've been living in a spider hole outside of Mosul recently - who took the field 24 hours after learning that his mentor father had died of...
