I’m not sure after how the 2016 Republican race for President turned out why Wisconsin Democrats are demanding that all ten of their candidates for Governor be allowed to take part in the state Broadcasters Association debate coming up next month. It was those circuses in late 2015 and early 2016 that produced the eventual nominee…… MORE
How a Gay Wedding Cake and a Big Mouth Killed Immigration Reform
While the Religious Right and the talk show hosts that cater to them were celebrating yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling that found a wedding cake baker is not required by law to provide services for a same-sex wedding ceremony, they were missing two very important aspects of that decision. One, that it very narrowly applies to…… MORE
DRUNK DESIGNATED DRIVER
FOX CROSSING POLICE WOULD LIKE TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT BEING A DESIGNATED DRIVER MEANS YOU DON’T DRINK. OFFICERS STOPPED A DRIVER ON SATURDAY NIGHT FOR ERRATIC DRIVING. THE MAN BEHIND THE WHEEL EXPLAINED THAT HE WAS THE DESIGNATED DRIVER FOR HIS FRIENDS THAT NIGHT. HIS BLOOD ALCOHOL LEVEL WAS REPORTEDLY CLOSE TO THREE TIMES THE…… MORE
Slow to React
I hope everyone enjoyed what will likely be the last Green and Gold Charity Softball Game. In case you missed it over the weekend, Packers linebacker Clay Matthews took a line drive to the face while pitching early in the game at Fox Cities Stadium. Matthews left the field bleeding profusely from the nose. He…… MORE
The New Shock Jocks
This week’s national crisis? How coarse our political discourse has become. The country is “reeling” according to one news network from the Twitter comments from Roseanne Barr and the on-air statements of Samantha Bee. “Is it even possible to have a civil discussion about politics any more?!?!” My question would be “Since when are…… MORE
The Rematch of the Rematch of the Rematch That Nobody Wanted
If you had told me in the mid-1980’s that the Lost Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics were going to meet in four consecutive NBA Finals, I would have been more than happy to hear that. The 1986 Celtics are generally considered to be the greatest team in basketball history–with their Hall of Fame frontline…… MORE
The Right To Loiter
Congratulations to African-Americans on gaining the “right” to loiter at coffee shops and to use business bathrooms without buying anything. Starbucks actually closed their shops across the country yesterday afternoon (not during their prime morning sales windows) to “teach” their employees “racial sensitivity”. This follows the highly-publicized incident in Philadelphia where two black men waiting…… MORE
The Line Forms Here
Because I plan to be cremated and have my ashes thrown off the cliff from which I fell in Maui, I likely won’t have a grave marker. I’ve always told people that if I did have one after I die I’d like it to read “He never wore a mullet”–which for someone that lived in…… MORE
Standing With the Fans
A new line of scrimmage has been established in the National Football League. On one side of the ball you have the players and members of the non-sporting press. On the other, you have the team owners and fans. This delineation was established by the new National Anthem policy put in place by Commissioner…… MORE
If It Wasn’t For Those Stupid Humans
Oshkosh Police will be stepping up their patrols in the areas of the city’s roundabouts again. This time, officers will be watching for drivers failing to yield the right of way to pedestrians and bikers using the crosswalks at the traffic circles. City Manager Mark Rohloff all but admits that those on foot are taking their lives…… MORE
