I’ve hinted that I didn’t exactly grow up like most of you. While my Wisconsin contemporaries remember the Lombardi years, I remember Dad setting up two different TVs to watch two different races. I learned to drive at a very young age in one of my dad’s machines. His last house had room for six […]

More about Mike (Michael) Sprinkel. At one point tonight I had two conversations going, one by e-mail and one by instant messaging, with details that need further investigation. If what I’m finding out is true, I will rip this district to small pieces. If not, then I won’t print it.

They let Huckabee and Paul talk! Granted, it wasn’t much, but they did.
