Sneaking Suspicions

We hear from law enforcement all the time, “If you see something, say something”.  But what do you do when saying what you have seen can be considered “culturally insensitive”?   Living and working just off of Witzel Avenue, I’ve driven past the “health spa” that was busted for alleged prostitution last week.  I always…READ MORE

OSHKOSH INFANT DEATH

OSHKOSH POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING THE DEATH OF AN INFANT.  OFFICERS WERE CALLED TO A HOME ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE CITY THURSDAY NIGHT AND FOUND THE NINE-MONTH OLD BOY NOT BREATHING.  HE WAS PRONOUNCED DEAD AT THE HOSPITAL A SHORT TIME LATER.  THE CHILD’S NAME HAS NOT BEEN RELEASED.  AUTOPSY RESULTS ARE PENDING.READ MORE

The Big Yawn

You know too many teams make the playoffs in your sport when fans don’t even get excited about a post-season appearance.  Exhibit A for that in the NBA are the Milwaukee Bucks.  There is ZERO buzz about the Bucks upcoming series with the Boston Celtics–which tips off on Sunday afternoon.  I’ll grant you, it’s more…READ MORE

Now What?

For real Conservatives, the hits just keep on coming.  House Speaker Paul Ryan’s announcement that he will not seek re-election this fall is another blow to the hope that perhaps the founding principals of the Republican Party will be upheld during the Trump presidency.  But now there will be one less voice to say “This…READ MORE

Pride of Place

I hate to use the term “logic” when it comes to anything President Trump does, but is it possible that what seems like the wild actions taken by the President could lead to beneficial results for the country?   Take for instance the order to place National Guard Troops along the Mexican border. While it makes…READ MORE

The Expected Result of Sharing Too Much

Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg goes before Congress today to “apologize” for allowing Russians to hijack his website and “influence the 2016 election” by targeting users for inflammatory or misleading stories.  I would much rather that he go in with a defiant attitude and place the “blame” for what happened at the feet of…READ MORE

These Are the Times That Try Men’s Souls

Are you familiar with the anology of the “the duck”?  People dealing gracefully with chaotic or difficult situations are compared to the waterfowl because when you look at a duck gliding across the water it looks like a very calm and peaceful thing.  But under the surface, they are paddling away like crazy.  Well last…READ MORE

The Better Tiebreaker

Thanks to her dice-rolling skills, Stephanie Spellman will likely be the new Winnebago County Board Supervisor from the city of Neenah.  Spellman beat incumbent George Scherck in a “game of chance” to decide the winner of that race–after the two tied on Election Day.  It sort of gives new meaning to the term “shake of…READ MORE

The Most Anticipated Ever

If there is one phrase that I think best captures modern life it’s “Hype and disappointment”.  Everything is promoted now as “the best”, “the greatest” or “new and improved”–but when you buy it, see it, or hear it, your reaction is “meh”. And that is why I’m reluctant to get to pumped up about the…READ MORE
