I check the Cost of War site every month just to maintain perspective.
With the testimony of David Petraeus and his Tonto, the trillion dollar
figures are finally beyond whispering levels. To date, $509.7 billion
spent and we are on the way to two or three trillion dollars--all
borrowed.
In
just one Wisconsin Congressional District, our share of the 509 billion
would purchase 164,000 four-year scholarships at the UW. Yikes!
No
end in site, no honesty in the testimony, 20 of our soldiers killed
this week and McCain, Bush and Petraeus want us to stay for...yup. 100
years if necessary. Are they nuts?
People are getting it:
81% say we are, as a nation, on the wrong track. Don't know why. $3.40
for a gallon of regular, 4 bucks for diesel, food prices gone wild here
and broad, tax breaks for WMC members while the rest of us struggle. As
the lawyer for those who designed and paid for racist TV spots told us,
"Life is unfair." 81% agree but want to do something about it. And they
will.
People are angry about the WMC role in the Ziegler
and Gableman auctions. Dave Zweifel performed a service in listing the
Board members of WMC. We need a strong message delivered to each and
everyone of them to keep their dirty hands off our courts. And, it is
time to ask, where was the Doyle team?
Contribute please. We need $7,500 more to match the $10,000 challenge.We need your help.

The American political drama that began in the upheaval of the 1960s reached its climax with the Watergate scandal and ended in 1974 with the resignation of Richard Nixon. An epilogue was added to the story when Nixon emerged from seclusion in 1977 for an
In 1964, the time of Doubt, no one spoke of pedophile priests, even if the Roman Catholic Church was already riddled with them. Directed by John Patrick Shanley from his own play, one of the most provocative recent productions on a Broadway that has surre
Although the wacky, anonymous, eyeball-mask-wearing members of The Residents make a point of labeling it a collection of "pop songs," The Bunny Boy isn't simply a pop album. It's also a cryptic Internet series that "inspired" the album, a live performance
Steve Grimm's place in Milwaukee music history remains secure for having fronted one of the city's most prominent bands to make it to a major label. It's been a while since Bad Boy was a happening entity, but Grimm remains vital-if inextricably linked to
Mitchell Street was once known as the Polish Grand Avenue, the main drag for Milwaukee’s large Polish-American community. The Poles began moving away in the 1970s, making way for new chapters in the city’s immigrant story. Mitchell Street has
Little touches set it apart: the twist of lime on the rim of a glass of cranberry juice, the faux modern paintings on the wall… Ten years after it opened, Metro Bar & Cafe, just off the lobby of Hotel Metro (411 E. Mason St.), remains a timelessly
