• —This Just In...

  The December issue is out with the cover story, “Sacred Churches.” Adorning the cover is a magnificent photo of the dome atop St. Josaphat's Basilica. The magazine mentions the 25 most beautiful and influential churches in Milwaukee. In an obvious sacrilege, it unconscionably fails to mention my beloved St. Anthony’s at [...]

• He's not poor, so you should pay his bills.

  —Patrick McIlheran: Right On

  I pointed out the other day that even as those favoring a nationalized, government-funded health care scheme say it’s about making sure everyone’s covered, we already cover, by our taxes, poor people. People who favor nationalized, government-funded health care hate it when you say that. One of them, a Milwaukee chap [...]

• What about clean dishes?

  —Across the Board

  All I want for Christmas is Cascade. I understand the state's decision to effectively ban phosphorus in detergents beginning in July. It’s not that I am a fan of the stinky algae that it apparently causes. It’s just that I like having clean, sparkly dishes and, according to Consumer Reports, [...]

• Should we live with this kind of tragedy?

  —Across the Board

  So, if, as it appears, Maj. Nidal Hasan legally bought the gun he is suspected of using to kill 13 and wound others, will this cause any more introspection on gun ownership? I’ve asked the question before with other shootings. Yes, the background check should have triggered yet another red [...]

• More imaginings come to Wisconsin to be punctured by fact

  —Patrick McIlheran: Right On

  Health insurance, at least the employer-provided kind, is expensive in Wisconsin, the Journal Sentinel reports. A new study from the consultancy Mercer says such coverage is 22% more costly here than the national average. Why? Is it rapacious insurance executives? Well, no: Wisconsin’s notably home to several major non-profit health care co-ops. [...]

• Scott Walker and the clean-up crew hypothesis

  Now that Tom Barrett has -- aw, what the hey -- rescued the Dems from being candidateless in the governor’s race, the comparisons inevitably emerge on big issues, one of them taxes. Barrett, not a spendthrift, has nonetheless gone along with the presumption that the city’s tax levy will increase regularly. [...]

  When the Milwaukee County Board adopted the county budget, nine supervisors voted against the document. But when hit with close to three dozen vetoes by County Executive Scott Walker, some of those supervisors changed their minds. HEROES: The supervisors who voted to sustain most, if not all of Walker’s cost-saving vetoes [...]

  The Wall Street Journal notes why that uproar over mammograms for women under 50 is about so much more than breast cancer. It’s because in now saying women under 50 or over 75 shouldn’t get annual mammograms, the federal advisory panel wasn’t acting on oncology or radiology. No such doctors are [...]

  If you think—based on all the complaining the Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance and WMC does about Wisconsin’s tax climate forcing out the wealthy and their corporations (eg. members of their boards)—that the tax “burden” in our state was somehow being shouldered more by upper class individuals than by the middle- and [...]
