I know that we are all excited to hear what the name of the new Milwaukee Bucks G-League team in Oshkosh is going to be—but expect to be a bit disappointed. Those of you that worked so hard on alliterative names like the Oshkosh Osprey or the Oshkosh Otters—or those that tried to go Hip…… READ MORE

They Still Won’t Listen
Before they decided to stick with the same leadership that got them into the smallest minority in Legislative representation in 60-years and a loss in the race for President for the first time in 32-years, Wisconsin Democrats talked a lot about “listening to people” in the run up to their state convention over the weekend. …… READ MORE
If You Need an Accord, Buy a Honda
Remember a couple of years ago when members of the Oshkosh Common Council wanted to spend around 20-thousand dollars to have the new City Garage LEED certified? They thought it was sooooo important to have a certificate saying their new building was as “green” as possible. Fortunately, the majority of the Council rejected the waste…… READ MORE
Welcome Back My Friends to the Show That Never Ends
As a public service, I’d like to remind you that the NBA Playoffs are still going on. You probably needed that reminder since it has been a week since anybody has played a game. I guess the two teams involved in the Finals are to blame for that. Golden State swept San Antonio in the…… READ MORE
The American Addict
We have a new poster child for the drug-addled state of America today: The infamous mugshot of 14-time major champion Tiger Woods has become the perfect symbol for a nation taking so many prescription medications that we can’t keep them straight anymore. At the time of his arrest early Monday morning, Tiger told…… READ MORE
Only Sauerkraut and Schnitzel for Me
It looks like I will be putting my BBQ smoker up for sale soon. It’s not that I have grown tired of making the most delicious meat products possible for family and friends. It’s not that I don’t enjoy spending 11-hours in making one meal. I need to get rid of the smoker because I…… READ MORE
No Contest
If Americans weren’t so set in their ways, I would say this has been a transformational spring for two professional sports leagues. For a third straight year in a row, the NBA Playoffs have been practically pre-ordained–as the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers have lost a combined one game in three series to…… READ MORE
Soaked To the Bone
As I stood on the 8th tee at Lakeshore Municipal Golf Course in the rain for the umpteenth round this spring I came to realize yesterday that this spring has pretty much sucked. Sure, we had a great start to the season with mild temperatures in late February and early March, but it has been downhill…… READ MORE
The Incredible Shrinking American
While we hear a lot about the changing “face of America” in discussions about the increase in immigration and multi-culturalism, what we should be talking about is the changing “body of America”. Apparently, we are getting shorter as a people. I found that out the hard way yesterday while trying to shop for new…… READ MORE
Conspiracy
In 2001 HBO produced a great docu-drama entitled Conspiracy. It detailed the infamous Wannsee Conference, where Nazi leaders and bureaucrats met to hammer out how they would efficiently exterminate Jews from Europe. It was well researched, written and acted–and it won several awards. If a local filmmaker is looking for a new project, might I…… READ MORE
