  • Calm Down Alan

    FightingBob.com

    Alan Borsuk, J-S cheerleader and occasional Education columnist for the paper, is scared. He is, needless to say, in favor of elimination of the elected School Board governing Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS). Alan is so in favor of the Duncan/Doyle/Barrett plan he writes as if panicked now that it appears [...]

  • Holiday Folk Fair!

    The River Otter

    I love the Holiday Folk Fair. It's kind of an annual tradition. I made sure to get there hungry today and immediately stuffed myself with a Siopao, the Filipino steamed bun, washed down with hot ginger tea. This was followed by Danish pastry and then Klobasa, a Slovak sausage.[...]

  • You Can Add MJS To That As Well

    Whallah!

    I know the GOP owns WTMJ and WISN, but people do get their sources from people who aren't getting paid to lie. They do know that, don't they? It must suck to live your life in a bubble like that.The Bubble Boys of Talk Radio...it's got a ring to it.[...]

  • A classic political frustration

    scott d. feldstein

    Republican: This health care reform thing is a government takeover of 1/6th of the economy! And the bill is over two thousand pages! And it costs hundreds of billions of dollars! It’s socialism! It’ll raise the deficit!

    Me: It’s not a “takeover” and it doesn’t raise the deficit–it lowers it. [...]

  • Laughable Curve

    Brewtown Gumshoe

    Tax cuts as public policy prescription for economic growth have been empirically proven ineffective for decades. Arthur Laffer's curve in a laugher indeed.

    As James Rowen highlights, John Kovari, of the Public Policy Forum, finds more corroborating evidence to support this conclusion.

    The fact that we [...]

  • Fat Sandwich – a fat waste of cash

    The Sconz

    Number of comments: 2
    The only thing that Fat Sandwich Company really has working in its favor is its unbelievable intrigue. Clearly, I just had to go. I had to see what the fuss was all about. Unfortunately, Fat Sandwich did not deliver. From the second I walked in the door, I just knew I would [...]

  • Even the Epigraphs Go Rouge

    The Chief

    Oops:
    So far as bungled epigraphs go, the third chapter is arguably the winner so far, attributing this nugget of wisdom to the renowned former UCLA basketball coach John Wooden:
    Our land is everything to us.... I will tell you one of the things we remember on our land. [...]

    Updated With Picture….Per A Reader’s Request This just might wind up as the strangest blog post yet.  Friday night James and I went on one of those grocery ’stock-up’ shopping trips that is not so bad once it is underway.  But as the cart got  full I thought….Good Lord….this is going to [...]

  • Cell biology

    illusory tenant

    Exposed to a harsh environment constituted out of, uh, reality, the rightoplasm is easily damaged. In order to protect this delicate tissue, a graduated barrier grows up around the rightoplasm. The outermost layer, the cell lamebrane, is thin but tough: it detects environmental information, reverses its polarity, and passes the [...]

    Had my eyes opened. Took my corporate blinders off. The company comes across with all their cool,"we support causes and act on conservation", B.S. Yet they are really just another corporate entity complete with typical conservative values, beliefs and behaviors.

    Guess the [...]

    One of these things is not like the other one… Look about halfway down the left side of both pictures. Notice any difference between the original picture on the right and its final copy on the left? In the summer of 2000, in a small room in the University of Wisconsin, the [...]
