Maybe, perhaps, possibly, might happen, but expect to hear "it was
Bill's assertion" not Hillary's, that she had to win Texas and Ohio.
She is now talking about the complexities of the Texas race and
Pennsylvania as the firewall. So, maybe the Texas-Ohio talk was, as W.
calls it, "bull." In any event it looks like an Obama victory in Texas
with Ohio up for grabs.
Prediction:
If Hillary wins the primary in Texas (65 percent of delegates) and
loses the caucuses (35 percent of delegates) she will motor on to
Philadelphia. Second prediction: The Democratic Party power brokers
will eliminate caucuses for the 2012 race.
Hillary may be "proud" to be on the same stage with Barack, but she won't leave the stage without a big push.
Great Lakes Compact: "Waukesha leaders question compact" screams the JS headline.
Is it something in the water they drink? Who knows, but officials like
Waukesha County Executive Dan Vrakas seem to think to hell with
everyone else--Waukesha is all that matters. To listen to Vrakas, one
would conclude that Waukesha can handle the Great Lakes diversion
threat all by itself. I hear him saying to other states and Canadian
Provinces, "Get out of our way." Let's hope that Peter McAvoy and other
voices of reason carry the day.
March 13: The People's Legislature will hold a rally in the Capitol.
The theme? "Unfinished business." The Assembly is running out the clock
to avoid a vote on a bill almost everyone supports--public financing of
Supreme Court elections. The rally will give voice to those of us
opposed to WMC's plans to buy the Court and to preserve the integrity
of the Court in the future. See you at the Capitol.

Although separated by an ocean and multiple time zones, the Australian Outback bears remarkable resemblance to the American West. Both encompass mesas towering over rocky, dusty deserts shimmering like a mirage under unforgiving sunlight. Whip-snapping co
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
