I would like to credit the Canadian people for their thoughtful and measured response to yesterday’s mass killing in downtown Toronto. Ten people died, another fifteen people were injured in this latest incident–but few, if any, chose to focus on the weapon used in the attack. It would have been easy to do, given that the…… MORE
That’s a Bad Look
At first, I thought it was some kind of a joke. LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers showed up for game three of their playoff series with the Indiana Pacers in Indianapolis Friday night with identical gray suits. Identical all the way down to the pants legs failing to come to the top of the…… MORE
Baby On Board Everywhere
“History” was made yesterday as Illinois Senator Tammy Duckworth brought her ten-day old infant daughter to the floor of the Senate to cast a vote. Senate rules had to be amended for the occasion–as until now, children were barred from a place where representatives of the people vote on the most-important matters facing our nation. …… MORE
Smaller Event City
For years now we’ve been telling you about the strain being “Wisconsin’s Event City” has been putting on the city of Oshkosh. Huge amounts of overtime for police and fire personnel, the inability to take vacations for city employees, wear and tear on equipment, and general fatigue on those of us who live here and…… MORE
Coming Full Circle
There is a certain irony in the national trend of converting former big box retailers and department store buildings into storage units. There are companies that now specialize in converting what used to be retail space into individual and business storage. One such company is currently working to convert the former K-Mart/Sears store here in…… MORE
Walk This Way
If you tune into the Milwaukee Bucks-Boston Celtics playoff game tonight, I want you to check out how may times Giannis Antetokounmpo commits a traveling violation. I don’t mean how many times he is called for traveling–because that number will likely be zero–but the actual number of times he takes far more than the two…… MORE
Sneaking Suspicions
We hear from law enforcement all the time, “If you see something, say something”. But what do you do when saying what you have seen can be considered “culturally insensitive”? Living and working just off of Witzel Avenue, I’ve driven past the “health spa” that was busted for alleged prostitution last week. I always…… MORE
OSHKOSH INFANT DEATH
OSHKOSH POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING THE DEATH OF AN INFANT. OFFICERS WERE CALLED TO A HOME ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE CITY THURSDAY NIGHT AND FOUND THE NINE-MONTH OLD BOY NOT BREATHING. HE WAS PRONOUNCED DEAD AT THE HOSPITAL A SHORT TIME LATER. THE CHILD’S NAME HAS NOT BEEN RELEASED. AUTOPSY RESULTS ARE PENDING.… MORE
The Big Yawn
You know too many teams make the playoffs in your sport when fans don’t even get excited about a post-season appearance. Exhibit A for that in the NBA are the Milwaukee Bucks. There is ZERO buzz about the Bucks upcoming series with the Boston Celtics–which tips off on Sunday afternoon. I’ll grant you, it’s more…… MORE
Now What?
For real Conservatives, the hits just keep on coming. House Speaker Paul Ryan’s announcement that he will not seek re-election this fall is another blow to the hope that perhaps the founding principals of the Republican Party will be upheld during the Trump presidency. But now there will be one less voice to say “This…… MORE
