I’ve been too ill recently to watch too much news, so I completely missed the coverage of Glenn Beck’s rally on the Washington Mall. Fortunately, Robert Costa of National Review was among the 100,000 to 300,000 people in attendance.
In a surprise appearance at the FreedomWorks conference in Washington on Friday, Beck had explained why [...]
Most of us are familiar enough with US Senate candidate Ron Johnson’s biography to know that he’s a successful businessman who helped make Pacur into a thriving plastics company in Wisconsin. Unfortunately the scorn of the political left knows no bounds, and they’re even accusing Johnson of marrying into his fortune (never mind the [...]

Took the kids downtown Sunday to see Waukesha’s Independence Day parade. Got a great spot. I’d tell you where but I might use it again next year. You’ll just have to guess from the photos.
Give the mayor credit. That’s a healthy walk, especially when it’s hot out. (Yes, he saw [...]
Another vacation in the Wisconsin Dells, with a brief stop in Madison, is over. Who in my family will ever forget driving around the Capitol with me saying, “Look kids!

It was a nice visit [...]
