The old adage (often mis-attributed to Abraham Lincoln and Mark Twain–it’s actually from the Bible) holds that “Tis better to remain quiet and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt”. Someone at the White House needs to hang a poster with those words in the Oval Office as a…… READ MORE

More Potty Talk
First, a My Two Cents Update: The Wisconsin Broadcasters Association has decided to just cancel its planned Democratic Gubernatorial Debate, rather than try to come up with a way to make it palatable with 10-candidates demanding to be on the stage. The WBA says it now wants to focus just the general election–when the field of…… READ MORE
The Over-Accommodated Generation
While millennials are correctly labeled the “Entitlement Generation”, they can also bear the title of “Most Overly-Accommodated Generation” as well. Their expectations go beyond just getting a trophy or verbal praise for everything they do to a belief that their every need must be met not just by the government, but by the entire private…… READ MORE
Bread and Circus–Minus the Bread
I’m not sure after how the 2016 Republican race for President turned out why Wisconsin Democrats are demanding that all ten of their candidates for Governor be allowed to take part in the state Broadcasters Association debate coming up next month. It was those circuses in late 2015 and early 2016 that produced the eventual nominee…… READ MORE

In case you missed it over the weekend, Packers linebacker Clay Matthews took a line drive to the face while pitching early in the game at Fox Cities Stadium. Matthews left the field bleeding profusely from the nose. He…… READ MORE
The New Shock Jocks
This week’s national crisis? How coarse our political discourse has become. The country is “reeling” according to one news network from the Twitter comments from Roseanne Barr and the on-air statements of Samantha Bee. “Is it even possible to have a civil discussion about politics any more?!?!” My question would be “Since when are…… READ MORE

The Rematch of the Rematch of the Rematch That Nobody Wanted
If you had told me in the mid-1980’s that the Lost Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics were going to meet in four consecutive NBA Finals, I would have been more than happy to hear that. The 1986 Celtics are generally considered to be the greatest team in basketball history–with their Hall of Fame frontline…… READ MORE
