Maybe today’s kids aren’t as hopeless as we adults think. The response to the WIAA’s demand that schools crackdown on such offensive chants as “air ball” and “start the bus” have drawn immediate–and creative–backlash from those for whom the games are actually played. A scan of social media shows Tuesday night games across the…… MORE

BernieBall
I’m assuming that no supporters of Bernie Sanders are playing the PowerBall Lottery this month. Winning $1.4-BILLION won’t just make you a member of the hated 1%, it will put you into the category of the especially-vile .1%. I am also yet to see anyone on social media post that they hope they win PowerBall…… MORE
This is Our Game!!
A star basketball player from Hilbert is finding out the hard way that you don’t challenge adults’ ways of thinking. April Gehl is suspended for the Wolves next five basketball game for taking the WIAA to task for their concerns about “sportsmanship” through Twitter. During the holidays, the WIAA sent out emails to all athletic…… MORE
A Point of Concern
I’m a bit concerned about our new Police Chief, Dean Smith. A pattern of ducking the media is already developing–and he’s officially been the chief for less than a week. You may recall that when the City had narrowed the field of finalists for Chief to four, they were brought back to Oshkosh for a…… MORE
The Real Jackpot
As you can imagine, much of the talk around the Radio Ranch this week has been about “what would you do if you won the Powerball?” My stock answer for years now has been to purchase a first class ticket on the next flight to Maui, immediately buy a house in the secure section of…… MORE
An Idea Worth Re-visiting
Remember a few years back when there was an effort to reduce the size of the Winnebago County Board? A resident group started circulating petitions to cut the board in half–saying it would make the Board more responsive to the voters and more efficient in doing its work. You may recall that the Board responded…… MORE
The 0.8% Solution
President Obama is “doing something” today to make “America safer from gun violence”. The President is using executive action in “closing the gun show loophole” by expanding the number of vendors who would have to conduct background checks on buyers. It’s meant to better define who is a gun “collector” who might sell off a…… MORE
You Can Come Down Off the Ledge
The general consensus among Packers fans and the talking heads that cover them is that next week will be the final game of the year for the Green and Gold. Offensive woes have even the most die-hard Packer Backer out on the ledge this morning anticipating the worst. You might want to take a look…… MORE
Stop Putting This Off
Usually, I don’t do New Year’s resolutions. It’s not that I think that I’m perfect and that there is nothing upon which I can improve. It’s just that I know behavior does not change overnight just because a calendar page turns over and it’s a new year. But in 2016 I do plan to address my…… MORE
