Memo to MKE–It’s OK, you don’t have to support Chester French
This band is not very good. At all. In fact, based on their first single, they are horrible, boring, no-good limp-dicked tripe.

Governor Doyle Vetoes Milwaukee County Sales Tax for Transit
When the budget finally made it to his desk, Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle used his extensive veto powers in a lot of ways. The most significant of which was arguably the line-item veto of the Milwaukee Transit Authority and the proposed 0.65% sales tax increase for Milwaukee County. Doyle did not veto SERTA, the authority which is to run the KRM commuter rail line, and the $18 rental car tax. This veto puts back on the drawing board Doyle's proposal for a three-county sales tax to fund the KRM and bus service in Kenosha, Racine, and Milwaukee Counties, while at the same time not delaying the KRM development process.

Stairway to the Stars
My name is Molly Dooley. Perhaps you remember my Ma, Polly Dooley, the famed Follies Showgirl, one of a dozen who slept their way to fame and fortune in the '20s. Ma told me she was born in Paris, on the altar of the Cathedral of Notre Dame. Of course I have no proof that she was actually born in Paris, and being that there are many cities and towns bearing that name, for all I know, it could have been Paris, Illinois.

New Glarus, where beer is born
It's a pleasant day in one valley in western Wisconsin, a place where the Swiss have colonized and beer is born high on a Hilltop Brewery. A travelogue in pictures and words.

Take it with a grain of salt
Salt is cheap, makes most foods taste better, extends shelf life, and hides the artificial taste of processed food.
