If future linguists need an example to put in their on-line dictionaries for the phrase “a life well lived” they may want use John Glenn. The last of the Mercury 7 astronauts died on Thursday at the age of 95–and it would be hard to find someone who may have accomplished more in that time.…… READ MORE

Street Sense
The belief that Republicans in the State Legislature can “railroad through” anything they want may be challenged next year. There is deep intra-party division developing over how to address the looming shortfall in transportation funding in the next two-year budget.

A Date Which Will Live In Infamy
In some ways, it’s hard to believe that it has been 75-years since the attack on Pearl Harbor. When I was a kid, that was just part of the “modern history” that we covered in about two days at the end of the of the school year because we had spent entire weeks covering the…… READ MORE
Inclusive-mas
Retail America is giving us a new “reason for the season” this year: Inclusiveness.

Just Out For a Little Cruise, Officer?
I had an interesting experience the other night. After leaving our Radio Play practice at the Grand Opera House Tuesday around 8:15 pm, I was followed closely by an Oshkosh Police Squad car for several miles. I pulled out from the stop sign at Pearl Avenue and Division Street and the officer pulled in behind me. …… READ MORE
Be Careful What You Wish For
You may have missed it last week with the holiday and deer hunting going on, but a Federal Judge ruled that it is unconstitutional to have Democrats living in highly-concentrated areas in Wisconsin. That is the gist of a ruling that finds the current legislative districts drawn up after the 2010 census are illegal. …… READ MORE
A Gigantic Waste of Time
Have you ever had your boss drop a project on your desk that you know will require a ton of work and won’t result in anything actually being done?
