If you’re wondering why the flags were ordered to half-staff today, it’s in honor of civil rights leader Dr. Dorothy Height. Eugene Kane wrote about her on April 20th for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The Los Angeles Times obituary is here.
Update: I just noticed this order from the governor for Friday:

Or is he just being malicious? Milwaukee County Board Chairman Lee Holloway called Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker a “`Howdy Doody’ puppet and a David Duke-style politician.” Milwaukee Journal Sentinel columnist Eugene Kane says Holloway should back off from the “trash talking.”
