The local newspaper finally got around to writing about John Koszarek, the now-infamous Slinger High School social studies teacher. Almost two weeks ago, Koszarek sent an e-mail to State Representative Don Pridemore complaining about Pridemore's support of the Collective Bargaining legislation that passed in 2011.

It's Friday the 13th and I've just launched my Facebook page. I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

For those pushing for a new arena to replace the Bradley Center, it would be nice to get a little help from the main tenants. Unfortunately, the 2011-2012 Milwaukee Bucks don't appear to have gotten the memo.

There were a lot of particularly unhappy Scott Walker haters yesterday. For months, some have been counting on the not-so-secret John Doe investigation being conducted by Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm leading to charges against Scott Walker or somehow directly implicating him in the wrongdoing of others.

As a former prosecutor,I'd like to think that those charged with enforcing the law would display some sense of justice (at least outside of Dane County). From the outside though, the seemingly endless, leak-filled John Doe investigation being conducted by Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm into the activities of people peripherally connected to Scott Walker seems thus far to be more like a rambling witch hunt than an investigative proceeding.

When you do 15 hours of live radio a week, it's easy to get caught up in the ebb and flow of the stories of the day. Given the need to come up with ten or more topics daily that will challenge, inform, interest - and yes, entertain - a large audience, there's a tendency to focus on what's happening at any given moment.

I can't stand a lot of the showboating that goes on in professional sports. You know, a team is losing by 20 points and a player launches into a two-minute celebration after making a tackle! I mean, "come on man", show some professionalism.
