I, like many of my internet acquaintances, am appalled by this morning’s story from the MJS regarding services from the Milwaukee County mental health facility. What needs to happen? An absolute mob demanding improvement. A brief chat with anyone working in this system will let you in on the burnout and impossibly low staffing that [...]

Rounding the ‘net: The Press on Tiger vs. Obama
August 4th, 2010 · 6 Comments
Oh, man, I’m cranky today already, and when I read stuff like this I know why. America, you are ridiculous. Truly. I think it is remarkable that within a week of Tiger Woods crashing his Escalade the press found every woman with whom Tiger has had an affair in the last few years, with photos, [...]
Chatter
September 25th, 2009 · 8 Comments
If you all haven’t noticed, there’s increasing chatter about me in Brookfield. Of course, most of it is negative. No, it’s not any fun to open a Web page and see someone digging a deep hole with me as the shovel. It will all go away once it’s obvious I won’t be running for mayor [...]

Time Warner Digital Phone out again?*
August 16th, 2009 · 4 Comments
Grrrr. (Wilson828, please don’t rag on me for using the cable company. I don’t love AT&T anymore than TimeWarner.) *Wait – it looks like it could be an AT&T problem instead. I have phone service, but the person I was trying to call does not.

Dear Brookfield: It’s time to move.

Well Brookfield, while your Very Special Mayor Jeff Speaker is taking time off to manage his slum tenancy, stuff like this keeps happening. Do you want to be the resident with a semi-automatic pistol to your head?

Cash for Clunkers out of gas?
July 30th, 2009 · 24 Comments
No one knows how much they are spending. I have never in my life had a time where every single day I grow less confident in my America. It’s terrifying to think this incompetence is my children’s future.

Franken wins in Minnesota; the Democrats have 60
June 30th, 2009 · 3 Comments
That 60 is the magic number to provide a filibuster-proof Senate. Doesn’t matter much as Republicans are crossing over fast and furious. How long until the Dems screw it all up? Oh, wait…
Add Jeff Goldblum to that list (or not! see below)

Who you gonna call? I’m not overtly superstitious, but today feels kind of wrong. I wasn’t sure if you’d heard, so I thought I’d mention it. H/T: The Ol’ Broad. Update – OK, so maybe I quit reading Ol’ Broad (but how can you do that?) The Goldblum story looks to be a hoax as [...]

Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, and Michael Jackson, all in the same week

I’m watching the stars of my childhood disappear. How sad.

Just one of those days
June 11th, 2009 · 2 Comments
If you’re fairly conservative like I am, you’re probably fairly offended right now. It’s not a good week for folks like us. Today POTUS is flapping his gums in Green Bay, Wisconsin. He will try to sell America yet another plan for our salvation. He will, as usual, withhold the fine print. I love being [...]
