The Olympic flame has been doused in Rio, and while it may be an unpopular opinion, I’d be more than okay if we kept it that way. I know that Games have been awarded to South Korea for the winter of 2018 and Tokyo for the summer of 2020–but we should just cancel them and…… READ MORE

Seeing Continued Success
You know what is proving to be a huge waste of time and money? The efforts to “repeal and replace” the Affordable Care Act. Instead of filing lawsuits and passing bills that are just going to be vetoed anyway, everyone opposed to the ACA just needs to be patient and let it collapse under its…… READ MORE
What Do We Have to Offer Them?
Every time we have riots like those seen in Milwaukee this weekend, the local leaders (usually long-term Democrats) say “We need to do more for these neighborhoods”. But really, what do we have to offer those living in the most down-trodden areas in our largest cities? Unfortunately, those folks have learned that having government-subsidized…… READ MORE
THE GREATEST EVER!!! (For This Year)
Want to get me to turn off Olympics coverage? Just have the commentators start talking about how the person that just won the competition we watched is the “Greatest Ever”. There was plenty of that talk over the weekend as Michael Phelps added to his unprecedented gold medal collection and Usain Bolt became the first…… READ MORE
Legislation by Litigation
Pop quiz: Is Wisconsin’s Voter ID Law currently in full effect? When you went to the polls on Tuesday for the primary election, the answer was “Yes”. Everyone had to show a legal ID to get a ballot. But when you woke up on Wednesday, a ruling by Federal Judge Lynn Adelman had gone into…… READ MORE
No Need To Apologize
You know what has been the best part of the Presidential campaign for me so far? Never having to come up with an apology or an excuse for the candidate that I’m backing. I can wake up and not fear what’s on my Twitter timeline or having people post to my Facebook page a link…… READ MORE
The Dangerous Event City
I think Oshkosh’s tenure as “Wisconsin’s Event City” is beginning to wear on people. I don’t mean just the city’s public safety and public works staff that are stretched thin all summer long working and patrolling the nearly constant stream of public gatherings, concerts and potential traffic jams which mark our summers now–but rather the…… READ MORE
More Gold For the Rich
You know who must really hate the Olympics? Bernie Sanders and all of his followers. It’s not really the those who can soar the highest, run the fastest or jump the farthest that win the gold–it’s those who can afford to play the game that win. The addition of professional athletes to the Olympics forever…… READ MORE
Why We Can’t Have THAT Conversation
We certainly stepped in it on our sister station yesterday. The morning show host mentioned a tidbit on the air about how the average American man is 5’9″ tall. He remarked that he was surprised that the average is that “short” and he wondered why it has stagnated over the past few decades. I pointed…… READ MORE
One Sure Thing
There are no sure things in sports–the term “upset” comes from the name of the only horse to ever beat the Triple Crown winner Man O’ War in a race–but there are a couple of sure things in the upcoming Olympics. One is that US Men’s Basketball team will win the gold medal. The other…… READ MORE
