We are just a week away from heading to the polls again here in Wisconsin. Oh, you weren’t aware of the Fall Primary on August 9th? Don’t feel bad–most of your fellow Wisconsinites weren’t either. And that’s unfortunate, because there are some pretty big races on the ballot. You’ve got Democratic primaries in the 6th…… READ MORE

Is Gerald Ford Running Again?
For those of you old enough to remember, the 1976 campaign of President Gerald Ford was derailed during a debate with Jimmy Carter in which Ford claimed Eastern Europe was not under the control of the Soviet Union: The gaffe made it appear that Ford had no idea what was going on in…… READ MORE
Quick Hits
There are just too many topics to cover before we break for EAA Airventure, so let’s just do a series of quick hits today: Don’t expect Outagamie County Executive Tom Nelson to get Appleton Mayor Tim Hanna’s endorsement in his race for Congress this fall. Hanna didn’t call out Nelson by name yesterday in voicing…… READ MORE
The Right to Die
First off, let me give a shout out to the Democratic Party of Wisconsin. In a press release claiming chaos at the Republican National Convention, the DPW cited the My Two Cents blog and my piece this week on the confusion that delegates and attendees must feel with Donald Trump winning the nomination. Glad to know…… READ MORE
Love is NOT All You Need
My eyes are getting sore and losing focus from all the times I’ve rolled them hard while someone says “We need to love each other more” in the wake of another violence or terrorism incident. President Obama has said it. Hillary Clinton has said it. Mayors of cities that have seen attacks have said it. …… READ MORE
The Confusion Convention
For those tuning into the Republican National Convention this week expecting to see chaos as last-ditch efforts to usurp the presidential nomination from Donald Trump clash with his hot-headed supporters, you will probably be disappointed. You will have to be satisfied with every small protest group in the country “clashing with police” outside the convention–as…… READ MORE

With US President Barack Obama refusing to even identify the enemy and the source of the terror threat, it may be up to our European allies to pick up the flag and engage those who…… READ MORE
Living in a Post-Respect World
Remember when you were a kid and you were playing ball in the back yard and someone would hit or throw it over the fence into the neighbor’s yard? Someone had to make the “walk of shame” over to the neighbor’s house–ring the doorbell–and sheepishly ask permission to get the ball back. We didn’t just…… READ MORE
Just Make Up Your Own Rules
It’s too bad that time and resources preclude everyone in America spending a day with a law enforcement officer at least once in their lives. We see a lot of law enforcement “experts” marching in the streets today–or appearing on the news networks–demanding a complete overhaul of the way we police ourselves. It would…… READ MORE
WARNING!!! WARNING!!!
My wife recently purchased one of those vehicles with a “Collision Alert System”. When a vehicle is too close to the front of the car, a red light comes on the dash and there is a beeping tone to “warn you” a collision is imminent. It also has a “Lane Deviation” feature that beeps at you…… READ MORE
