There is talk among the “experts” that this year’s World Series may re-kindle America’s love of baseball. Social media has been abuzz the past week with exclamations of disbelief as nearly every game has seen huge scoring and momentum swings and late inning rallies–not to mention a record number of home runs. And yet here I…… MORE
Thank You For Your Service
The couple in the row ahead of us got up about an hour and 15-minutes into it Saturday night. I knew they weren’t just going to the bathroom or going to get a refill on their drink–you don’t take your coats with you if you plan on coming back. I’ll be honest, I was tempted…… MORE
Bursting the Conspiracy Bubble
Researchers and production assistants at all of the major news outlets had probably better cancel their weekend plans. The National Archives are supposed to release all of the “secret files” the Government has been holding on the Kennedy assassination today. Those poor reporters will now have to spend the next 72-hours pouring over transcripts of…… MORE
If It’s Brown, It’s Down
What is it with Wisconsin and being in a hurry to establish a hunting season for every animal or bird that populates this state? Yesterday, the state Natural Resources Board gave the DNR permission to start drafting rules for an elk hunt–even though the elk population hasn’t hit the goal for starting a hunting season.…… MORE
Not Quite What It Should Be
I know it will be nice to have professional basketball here in Oshkosh starting next month, but to me, the NBA G-League is still not what it should be. Just looking at the Wisconsin Herd roster, you see its filled with a couple of guys that we can expect to play with the Bucks for spot…… MORE
Violating the 11th Commandment
While running for Governor of California in the 1960’s Ronald Reagan established the 11th Commandment of politics: “Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican”. For decades the GOP abided by that commandment–as it’s presidential primaries were fairly cordial affairs compared to the ugliness that beset the Democratic Party . But in today’s political…… MORE
The Savers Get Punished Again
I’ve always expected the Government to come for our retirement funds. There is a lot of money tied up in tax-sheltered accounts that every member of Congress could find multiple ways to spend. I just always assumed that Democrats that would take steps to take it away–not Republicans. There would always be a Bernie…… MORE
Sure, Now You Love Him
Remember how President George W Bush was treated while in office? Late night comedians mocked him as being some kind of idiot. Democrats claimed he knew nothing about foreign policy. He was portrayed as racist because he didn’t go to New Orleans five minutes after Katrina passed to start helping “all of those black people”. …… MORE
Stop Giving Us What We Want!!
Milwaukee County is considering a lawsuit against pharmaceutical companies and distributors blaming them for the rise in opioid addiction. The argument will be that the drug companies profited from the painkillers prescribed to people that later turned into heroin addicts that either died from an overdose, required medical treatment for overdoses, or ended up in…… MORE
A Lot On Our Plates
An effort is afoot to take “America’s Dairyland” off of Wisconsin license plates. The catch-phrase has adorned our plates since the 1950’s–when milk marketing really started taking off–but the folks at Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce believe it somehow limits how the state is perceived–like dairy farming is some backwoods operation conducted by country yokels. …… MORE
