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…… READ 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. …… READ MORE

No Highlights, Just Challenges to Your Beliefs
The powers that be at ESPN find themselves at a crossroads. Are they going to be a sports network, or are they going to be “agents of social change”?

So it had to come to this. In Neenah this weekend, parents at youth soccer games were banned from yelling anything from the sidelines. No “RUN! RUN!
