I hate to use the term “logic” when it comes to anything President Trump does, but is it possible that what seems like the wild actions taken by the President could lead to beneficial results for the country? Take for instance the order to place National Guard Troops along the Mexican border. While it makes…… MORE
The Expected Result of Sharing Too Much
Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg goes before Congress today to “apologize” for allowing Russians to hijack his website and “influence the 2016 election” by targeting users for inflammatory or misleading stories. I would much rather that he go in with a defiant attitude and place the “blame” for what happened at the feet of…… MORE
These Are the Times That Try Men’s Souls
Are you familiar with the anology of the “the duck”? People dealing gracefully with chaotic or difficult situations are compared to the waterfowl because when you look at a duck gliding across the water it looks like a very calm and peaceful thing. But under the surface, they are paddling away like crazy. Well last…… MORE
The Better Tiebreaker
Thanks to her dice-rolling skills, Stephanie Spellman will likely be the new Winnebago County Board Supervisor from the city of Neenah. Spellman beat incumbent George Scherck in a “game of chance” to decide the winner of that race–after the two tied on Election Day. It sort of gives new meaning to the term “shake of…… MORE
The Most Anticipated Ever
If there is one phrase that I think best captures modern life it’s “Hype and disappointment”.

And that is why I’m reluctant to get to pumped up about the…… MORE

No Distance Will Be Great Enough
I hope every Republican running for elected office in Wisconsin this fall is in good physical shape–because all of them will be trying to distance themselves as far as possible from President Trump on the campaign trail. A simple stiff arm likely won’t do it for voters–this will have to be a full-on sprint in…… MORE
WARNING!!! TOO MANY WARNINGS!!!!!
If you ever travel to California and you buy a cup of coffee in the morning, don’t be surprised if there is a large warning label on it. A Los Angeles judge has ruled that java contains a chemical compound that the state of California has determined to be carcinogenic–and the public must be warned…… MORE
The Million Dollar County Board
Just when you thought big-money spending couldn’t get any worse in politics, the campaigns for Milwaukee County Board are about to go over one-million dollars. There is actually just one person responsible for that spending, County Executive Chris Abele–who between his own contributions to candidates, his formation of a local political action group to back…… MORE
Just Giving the People What They Want
President Trump can drop his “War on Amazon” anytime now. He’s decided to go another round with Jeff Bezos and the on-line retailer this week claiming that Amazon steals tax revenue from local and state governments by allowing people to avoid having to buy pretty much anything at local brick and mortar stores. Perhaps the President was…… MORE
