It is apropros that Aaron Rodgers may return as starting quarterback for the Green Bay Packers during this holiday season–as many fans believe their savior is about to arrive. There is this general idea that Rodgers is going to come back from an eight-week layoff and immediately resume playing at a Hall of Fame level. Despite…… READ MORE

When You Can’t Afford Any Mistakes
About a week ago I lauded the national news outlets that had done great work in uncovering the actions of the real “fake media” and efforts to undermine the credibility of traditional journalism. Then last week, many of those same outlets turned around and had very bad weeks–publishing a number of inaccurate stories about the…… READ MORE
Pay Your Bills First
It’s too late, but I would still like to nominate University of Mount Union Football Coach Vince Kehres for 2017 Sportsman of the Year. Kehres likely saved UW-Oshkosh from some major embarrassment by signing off on tomorrow’s Division III Football National Semi-Final game being played at Titan Stadium instead of in Ohio. When it was announced…… READ MORE
The Sacrificial Lamb
I must admit, I actually feel sorry for Senator Al Franken today. The Minnesota Democrat is expected to resign in the wake of accusations that he had physical contact with women that they didn’t appreciate before he was elected to the Senate. Yesterday, every Demoratic female Senator turned against Franken–demanding that he quit–even though he…… READ MORE
Safety Starts With You
The next time someone from the NFL Players Association claims they are “concerned about the health and safety of their members”, I hope Mike McCarthy appears out of nowhere to throw the red “CHALLENGE” flag. We can then go to the replays from just a couple of games this past weekend to show that NFL…… READ MORE
Wanna Bet?
Imagine being a state lawmaker and ten of thousands of your constituents called you up demanding to be allowed to pay a new tax. And amazingly, the people who are opposed to this new tax are the ones that would never end up paying it anyway. Plus, this new tax would allow the government access to…… READ MORE
Those Tricky Millenials
So the state is going to spend seven million dollars in a marketing effort to attract more millenials to Wisconsin bolster the workforce. With our older population, we just don’t have enough “youngins” running around here to take over positions at companies. Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation officials think flashy multimedia presentations and cleverly placed pop…… READ MORE
Important, But Not the Most Important
I’ve heard a lot of sports hosts calling tomorrow’s Big Ten Championship Game the “MOST IMPORTANT GAME IN WISCONSIN BADGERS FOOTBALL HISTORY!!” I’ll grant you that the Badgers would likely clinch a spot in the College Football Playoff with a win over Ohio State and as former Vice President Joe Biden so succinctly said: That’s…… READ MORE
High Society
I would encourage you to go to the Oshkosh Community Media website and watch the debate in Tuesday night’s Common Council meeting over reducing the fine for possession of marijuana. It will provide you some interesting insight into the growing drug culture not just here in Oshkosh but throughout the United States. That is, once…… READ MORE
Gaming the System
I have to admit, I failed to understand the real motive behind the Legislature’s decision this fall to eliminate the minimum age for a “mentored” deer hunting license in Wisconsin. I never bought the argument that “if a child isn’t exposed to an activity by the time he or she is eight or nine years old…… READ MORE
