Now that the Republican Tax Reform Plan is out there for everyone to see, the attacks are coming from every direction. The main talking point is that “the middle class is not going to see any relief”. Well I am here to tell you that I will be one of the middle class that will…… READ MORE

We Are Becoming the Prisoners
Ben Franklin once wrote: Those that would give up essential Liberty to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. Those words come to mind every time we have a terror attack of some sort and “TV experts” start listing all of the security measures we should take to prevent the same thing…… READ MORE
Not A Whole Lotta Planning Going On
I have to give credit to the Oshkosh Common Council for knowing how to build drama, they made us sit through two full days of lengthy budget review before getting to the issue of Lakeshore Golf Course. Lakeshore was literally the last budget item discussed on Tuesday afternoon–and it was actually kind of a sad…… READ MORE
This Isn’t Real Baseball
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…… READ 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…… READ 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…… READ 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.…… READ 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…… READ 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…… READ 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…… READ MORE
