If you missed the first installment of the ESPN Films documentary OJ: Made in America on Saturday night, you are in luck–the network is replaying it at 6:00 tonight. That will be followed by the second installment of the five-part series at 8:00. I would consider both of those shows to be must-watch television. The…… READ MORE

One Step Closer to Less Freedom
Someday several decades–maybe even a couple of centuries–after all of us are dead and gone historians will look back at the United States and marvel at the personal freedoms and individual rights that it once granted to its citizens. And then they will look at how those rights and freedoms were whittled away over time.…… READ MORE
Orlando: How can I help?
(OrlandoSentinal) Overwhelmed by people wanting to donate blood to victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting, OneBlood asked donors to stop coming Sunday and schedule appointments over the next few days.… READ MORE
Kang and Kodos for President
Much has been made about how The Simpsons “predicted the future” by portraying a “President Donald Trump” in one of its episodes 16-years ago. But the writers of the cartoon series were prescient even before that, predicting the situation we find ourselves in right now back in 1996 with a parody of the Bob Dole-Bill…… READ MORE
The Inequality of Summer
I hope the kids about to be set free from school this week enjoy these two and a half months of summer bliss–because that extended time off may be going away. I’ll admit that I have been a proponent of year-round school for some time. The modern school calendar is still rooted in the…… READ MORE

Today’s edition of “Things Were Better When I Was Your Age” is brought to you by the weekend death of Muhammad Ali. His passing gave me reason to check out his classic fights on YouTube and it got me thinking that somehow we are “de-volving” when it comes to sports. While track athletes are setting…… READ MORE
The Huckster In Chief
It is going to be a fun summer as we watch the layers of the onion that is Donald Trump slowly peeled away. Right now, The Donald is trying to deal with the release of documents related to multiple lawsuits filed against him for his now-defunct (an adjective we can use to describe many of…… READ MORE
Or You Could Try Showing Better Movies
I see the Cineplex here in Oshkosh is undergoing a major re-branding. A shiny flier in the mail tells me about the comfy new recliners in their “auditoriums” (apparently they aren’t “theaters” anymore) and the new restaurant style dining available there–even if you aren’t seeing a movie. I had to laugh when I saw that…… READ MORE
Small Acts of Kindness
After a long weekend up north, I came into work yesterday afternoon to prepare four days worth of stuff for this morning’s newscasts. That’s when my wife sent a text message shortly after we got back saying there was no mail in our box–but instead a large cell phone–one of those “phablets” with a screen bigger…… READ MORE
At Least No One Has Been Offended
When I think of how much the US has spent on “security” since the 9/11 attacks it depresses me. Entire new bureaucracies were created to deal with the “threat” of multiple hijackings or a dirty bomb or a mass shooting at a public event. Millions of man-hours are dedicated to screening procedures, billions were spent…… READ MORE
