How to pick your governor

Vote Kathleen Falk by Josh Kuck Governor Scott Walker was dishonest to the voters of Wisconsin about his plans for the state. He ran on a ticket aimed at creating 250,000 jobs, yet Wisconsin ranked last among all 50 states in job growth. Instead of creating jobs, Governor Walker took away workers’ rights. Scott Walker [...]

Vandalism puts a damper on a good time

There is nothing worse than being at a party when the police show up. Everyone panics, under-agers run for the door and bros put on their big-boy gloves and insist they are not afraid of police. Most parties get busted because of noise complaints, filed by annoyed neighbors, and police reports of behavior that obstructs [...]

Political warfare is never won

The structure of our 236-year-old government was, and continues to be, built on a series of political compromises made by great American leaders.

This April, Planned Parenthood facilities all across the country are partnering with MTV to bring you and everyone you know free STD testing. They’re calling it “Get Yourself Tested” month, or GYT, and if you’ve never done it before (because, let’s face it, it can be scary) this is your chance. Even if you are [...]

Head cold, head case

William James is commonly referred to as the father of American psychology. James was pointing out that, though we give habits little thought, they define our lives: how much we eat, save or spend, how often we trek to the gym and what we say to our kids each night. But these compulsions aren’t inscribed [...]

Postmodern truth

People, we have a problem – a problem with these phony ‘free market’ capitalists taking all our money trashing our planet and ruining our society. They’re trying to weaken the regulations that protect us and strengthen the regulations that protect them. Take a good look at the proposed regulation/deregulation legislation coming down the pipe.

The Conservative gag reel continues to roll

It is not enough for some people to worship in the privacy of their homes and churches. Some people feel it is their duty or perhaps “God given right” to enforce religious legislation and theologically terrorize Americans they view as outside their scope of influence. Case in point – Senate Bill 507 introduced by Sen. [...]
