FightingBob.com had a wonderful weekend. We could call it our Hightower event but, while Jim was the focus,
we also co-sponsored a very successful conference on industrial "farms"
and more than 150 attended. (You can see Jim's keynote speech at the
CAFO conference right here.)
From the CAFO conference to the UWM
to meet with 80 activists Saturday night who are agitating for justice.
No rest for the Agitator-in-Chief, Jim Hightower, as he spoke at the
Barrymore to an enthusiastic crowd last night. Video of the talk will
be posted here.
Fighting Bob Fest and Bob.com are featured in Jim's new book. You Will enjoy.
Thank
you WORT, 92.1, MEA, WOJB, and Organic Valley for your contribution to
a great weekend. Now we can finalize plans for Bob Fest and Jim's
return to center stage.
Bye bye Penn: Mark Penn is the
guy who helps BLACKWATER and Countrywide Financial, to name just a few
bad guys, and he has been the main man behind Hillary Clinton's
campaign. He stepped into a cow pie when
he signed up to help promote a trade agreement his candidate supposedly
opposes. How can a person representing BLACKWATER tell us he wants out
of Iraq? Well, he can't.
You can choose your candidate but not
the advisors. The candidate makes those choices and the chosen tell a
lot about the candidate.

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
