Iraq, Trickle Down Economics, Energy Costs
John P. Hayden Oconomowoc
The Jan. 24 edition
contained two articles (actually three, counting the cover story) of
significance. First Mr. Conason hit the nail on the head describing our debacle
in Iraq (“What They Call 'Progress' in Iraq”). If only the other 35% of the
public weren’t so brainwashed by the conservative right, we may have been out
some time ago.
Anyone with even half a brain knows that Bush and his
miserable cronies have really screwed up this country to no end. It is
newspapers like yours that tell more truth. Isn’t the Fox News Channel for
dummies? I think there ought to be a book! The other article is by Mr. McNally
(“Trickle Up”) and his belief (and mine) that President Dumbass has put the
country in a financial disaster. Trickle down economics? Tax cuts? Who are they
kidding? Makes me sick.
The cover article (“Lights Out” by Lisa Kaiser)
was also very informative. I will continue to read and use the advertisers of
the Shepherd Express whenever I can. Your opinions are mine!!!

It can't touch Harry Potter for scope of popularity but in some pockets of pop culture, the Twilight series has reached Beatlemania in intensity. The "young adult" novels about a handsome teenage vampire boy and the mortal girl who loves him have sold 17
No, we didn't ask for an album featuring another recording of "Breathe," leading into "Time," leading into "Breathe (Reprise)," as happens on tracks two through four on Live in Gdansk. But Pink Floyd completists (we are legion) will want it anyway. Howeve
Jorge "El Guero" Hernandez may be the best-known regional Mexican artist with Milwaukee roots. Most of a decade has passed since he and brother Rogelio moved to San Antonio, but El Guero's Banda Centenario still nurtures a unique take on the often-manic D
The last decade has not been kind to Milwaukee’s German restaurants, as names like Ritter’s Inn, the Bavarian Wurst Haus and even the venerable John Ernst have all closed their doors. In fact, only two of the old-timers remain: the oldest, Mad
If you’re not from Waukesha, you’ll want to check MapQuest for directions, but it’s worth the ride. The Rochester Deli (143 E. Broadway, 262-522-9611), wedged within the labyrinth of downtown Waukesha across from the Freeman offices, is
