Pit stop here in Beloit, Wisconsin. I’m trying to NOT think about Scott Walker. We asked a friendly Democrat at the gas station where a good place to eat would be and he said Culver’s. I got a pork tenderloin and cheese curds. I’m in heaven! The cole slaw is really good too. And the […]

I HATE Politics, But I am JUMPing into the Fray
I live and breathe politics far more than is healthy to do. I don’t do this because I love politics. I do this because I am profoundly concerned that the wonderful idea that was our representative democracy at its inception is in peril. Peril. Real, no b.s., train is bearing down on you, and you […]
