Whoa Bill! You made $51.85 million giving
speeches to fat cats but even charged the alley cats? I understand
gouging Lehman Brothers, Goldman Sachs, Realtors, Mortgage Bankers, IBM
and GM, hell, they gouge us, but the Boys and Girl's Clubs? C'mon!
Charging the kids? Does this mean my $100 went to a multi-millionaire?
I suppose a freebie at Bob Fest is out of the question. (When Bill
Kraus and I speak to groups we get a bagel and a cup of coffee. In
light of the Clinton revelations, I will propose to Bill that we demand
two bagels.)
Speaking of nonsense, the eye-popping, treasury-busting I-94 expansion to 8 lanes from Milwaukee to Illinois is still on track. Cost? $1.9 billion bucks. 1,900,000,000 dollars.Pollution?
Nothing to worry about. Did I mention that black kids in Milwaukee are
lowest in the nation in writing skills and could use some help? Did you
notice that Milwaukee County is selling parks, closing swimming pools,
and cutting aid for the mentally ill so the County Executive can
challenge Jim Doyle on a "no-new-taxes" pledge?
Is
governor Doyle nuts? He supports this idea. Really. He does. And, if
the lieutenant governor is planning to run for governor if he does not,
is there a Lawton position on this nutty idea?
See you tomorrow night in Madison with Jim Hightower.
It is at 7:00 at the Barrymore. The Berrymans, Lou and Peter, will
entertain. Fund raiser for FightingBob.com. Five bucks, but we will
accept millions from the highway boys.

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
