One of the complaints that you hear in the debate over modern immigration is that “they don’t try to assimilate into ‘American culture’”.

Taking a Bath
I guess we should be encouraged that the UW-Oshkosh Foundation is starting to divest itself of some of its assets to pay the money is owes for projects that resulted in its bankruptcy.

While it has been open for two months already, the Menominee Nation Arena celebrates its “grand opening” today. The rushed nature of its construction and initial missed deadline for completion prevented any sort of celebration before this–so they will have the local dignitaries on-hand today to cut the ribbon and give folks a tour of the…… READ MORE
No, You Man Up
The UW-Oshkosh Foundation remains bound and determined to make sure that Wisconsin taxpayers get stuck with the bill for their financial irresponsibility.
