WAUKESHA, WI [ STORY : JSOnline ]  In a state where the bumper of every rusted-out Subaru is held to the frame with Obama campaign stickers, it was welcome news (albeit, very little comfort) that the GOP swept the ticket. So thanks to Waukesha County, conservatism is like, 1 and 71 on the season statewide.  [...]

PEEWAUKEE, WI [ JG ]  If you’re like me, you’ll probably go straight to hell.  So, I guess, “Don’t be like me” is pretty much the message there. You see, I’m the type of person who, when I find people who are upset, angry, hurt, or embarrassed, think to myself “How can I make a [...]

WAUKESHA, WI [ LINK : JSOnline ] It appears I inadvertently plagiarized the distinguished Freedom Eden blog by drawing the same analogy between Robert P. Farnam and “Fred Sanford” that Mary did.  Mr. Farnam has graciously offered me a second chance at ridiculing him publicly in my own unique idiom. Yes, he’s been at it [...]

WAUKESHA, WI [ LINK : JSOnline (4th item) ] Too bad Saddam Hussein isn’t around to share the blame.  Whoops!  I forgot that we’re not ‘posed to type Saddam’s last name until after the November election.  My bad.  I’ll start over. A pervert from Illinois (if you’ll pardon that redundancy) was caught trying to take [...]

When you’re both, you’re going to enjoy serving your sentence way less than the gentlemen you bunk with. They’ll [...]

Waukesha [story: JSOnline.com] They were, after all, the only two banks he’d ever helped rob. We think. Besides, we can’t be clogging up valuable prison cells with bank robbers. We need room in our penitentiaries for dog euthanizers, glaucoma patients, and 18 year-old boys with 17 year-old girlfriends. The important thing is that we’ve given [...]

Waukesha, WI [story: GMTODAY] I couldn’t really blame Carroll College when I heard they were entertaining the idea of a name change for their institution. Not many of us would be proud to wield collegiate credentials from an alma mater named, say… “Betty”, right? So I was sympathetic to the notion of a new moniker [...]

…a good stern talking to, with vigorous finger-shaking besides. Hope you’ve learned YOUR lesson, Mister. There’s a finger I’d like to shake at Judge Lee S. Dreyfus, who ” …imposed, but did not require Homan to serve, a 90-day jail term.” What does that even mean? It could I suppose, mean that, if Wisconsin ever [...]

In posting this week’s featured political commentary on the Fox6 Milwaukee website, I’ve made the inauspicious (re-)launch of the “Daily Scoff” (http://www.dailyscoff.com) official, archiving over a year’s worth of material for your review and enjoyment/disgust [choose one or both] and featuring new daily commentary. Thanks to some unexpected publicity, the site had to be moved [...]

DIGG THIS STORY I sort of wish I didn’t have the (admittedly well-deserved) reputation for occasionally employing hyperbole to over-emphasize a point, because this story really IS in regard to a potentially felonious pillow fight. Go ahead and read the second item on the New Berlin police blotter under “Assault” incidents if you’d like. For [...]
