The recent editorial suggesting politicians who pointed out the insensitive comment of a fellow state ...

There is a right and wrong
Dear Editor, As I've watched the coverage of the protest in Wisconsin, I am convinced more than ever that our nation is in serious trouble. We have seen those who profess that everything they do is for the children, shut down schools because they chose to call in sick and attend protests. Some students have been encouraged to attend the protest with absolutely no understanding of why they are there. Then we see doctors at ...

Wisconsin cheese in another form ... where have you been?
When our son Connor moved to Madison two years ago I was prepared for an introduction to all things Wisconsin. This was not entirely a blank slate - I was schooled on Fez and Red Forman from "That '70s Show," heard a little bit about their governor and some yelling that went on up there.
