Wisconsin’s Presidential recount is done and as everyone but Green Party candidate Jill Stein expected, there was virtually no change to the results first reported by county clerks around the state on election night and certified by Boards of Canvass a week later.

When the Solution is the Problem
A couple of weeks ago, The Economist Magazine posted a thought-provoking question on Twitter: If the Earth was dealing with global cooling–instead of global warming–would a strong global plan already be in place to deal with the issue? The logic being that because man evolved in a tropical climate–and not one where our early ancestors…… READ MORE
Godspeed
If future linguists need an example to put in their on-line dictionaries for the phrase “a life well lived” they may want use John Glenn. The last of the Mercury 7 astronauts died on Thursday at the age of 95–and it would be hard to find someone who may have accomplished more in that time.…… READ MORE
Street Sense
The belief that Republicans in the State Legislature can “railroad through” anything they want may be challenged next year.

Inclusive-mas
Retail America is giving us a new “reason for the season” this year: Inclusiveness. I’ve noticed a couple of high-profile ad campaigns that feature little in the way of product promotion and plenty of social messaging instead. The first ad was Apple’s “Frankie’s Holiday” that ran during the Thanksgiving Day NFL football games. …… READ MORE
Telling it Like it Is
I don’t usually do this, but I am turning over today’s My Two Cents to Louisville Women’s Basketball Coach Jeff Walz. Coach Walz was asked why his team struggled against Maryland on Thursday night–and he provided an answer that those of us who have to deal with anyone under the age of thirty would probably…… READ MORE
Still No Solution
Remember a few years ago when the College Football Playoff system was formed to replace the old Bowl Championship Series in determining the National Champion?

Just Out For a Little Cruise, Officer?
I had an interesting experience the other night. After leaving our Radio Play practice at the Grand Opera House Tuesday around 8:15 pm, I was followed closely by an Oshkosh Police Squad car for several miles. I pulled out from the stop sign at Pearl Avenue and Division Street and the officer pulled in behind me. …… READ MORE
