I anticipate getting the question a couple of times today: “Why are the flags at half staff again?” Almost every time the flags are lowered someone asks me that. I don’t blame everyone for not knowing, as the flag flies at half-staff in Wisconsin almost as much as it does at the top of the…… READ MORE

Mile of White Guy Music
I’m sure that when organizers of Mile of Music in Appleton put together their event, their main concerns are juggling the schedules of so many artists and venues that make up the festival. You have to get acts to fill all of the time slots and to make sure the popularity of some artists match…… READ MORE
The Path of Least Resistance
The Golden State Warriors’ influence on basketball on all levels continues to grow. It wasn’t enough to have 5th grade boys launching 27-foot jumpers without throwing a pass to any teammates on an offensive possession–and not get benched immediately. Nor was it enough to see a college team attempt 40 three-pointers in losing the National…… READ MORE
The Fool on the Web
While special investigators, Congress, CNN and MSNBC are all about Russia, Russia, Russia and election meddling in 2016, nobody seems to be taking the time to consider why efforts to influence voters that year were so effective–and why it likely would work again this year and in 2020. And the reason there is no focus on that…… READ MORE
Not What We Are Here To Do
Former House Speaker Tip O’Neill is credited with coining the phrase “All politics is local”. When he said that he meant that while those in Washington focus on grandiose plans for international diplomacy and sweeping national social change, the vast majority of voters cast their ballots based on how it will benefit their wallets, their…… READ MORE

Who Is Really Locked Up
If you ever want to start a conversation filled with misinformation and misguided solutions, bring up the topic of corrections reform. I was reminded of that over the past few days after watching the Democratic candidates for Governor debate and the Winnebago County Board meeting. It is clear that those involved in the discussion have…… READ MORE
Pot City
The state Democratic Party won’t have as many uniformed voters heading to the polls on their behalf in Winnebago County this month. The County Board failed to approve a referendum asking voters if they support legalizing marijuana for recreational and medicinal use last night. A number of speakers from outside the county gave their impassioned pleas…… READ MORE
