Summer? Hello, Summer? Happy chilly Tuesday. Brewers are back in action tonight and the Red Wings can wrap up the Stanley Cup tonight in Pittsburgh.
- There’s a serious problem with vandalism going on throughout Wauwatosa over the last couple months. There’s been vandalism at Jacobus Park, Hoyt Park, the splash pad at Madison park was vandalized and broken, and just the other night, a police car was caught in a “boobytrap” again in Hoyt Park that forced the officer to call for a tow truck. The idiots who are pulling these stunts need to be caught and punished. It’s a serious drain on the already overtaxed budget and resources of the County Parks and Police department to deal with this stuff.
- Glad to see conservatives have formulated their masterful plan to take back Congress in 2010: boycott General Motors!
- Speaking of conservatives, welcome to day 22 of the Republican Renaissance! If it still looks and sounds a lot like day 1, there’s a good reason for that.
- Jazzy Jeff was kicked off stage at a concert in Kansas City last weekend for… wait for it… playing rap! Who was running this concert, Mark Belling? And who would book Jazzy Jeff and then be surprised he was playing “rap” anyways?! No word yet from the Fresh Prince, but it’s just another reason not to like Cow Town.
- And just so there’s no confusion about the piece I wrote yesterday questioning Eugene Kane’s implication that “citizen blogging” was “dead”, it was nothing against him personally. I look forward to reading his columns, especially in the Sunday paper. I’ve never met him, but respect the work he does and the voice he gives to a segment of the population that is all too often absent from the major news outlets in Milwaukee. I simply disagreed with the question he posed.
I live in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Milwaukee, WI with my wife Jen, our daughter Emerson, and son Carter.
“boycott General Motors!”
Indeed. Last Friday I bought a 2009 Mazda3, a fine car recommended by Consumer Reports and Car and Driver. GM is just a dwindling figure in my rear view mirror.
Let’s hear it for the 2012 PelosiGtxiSS/RT

Cool, I was looking at Mazada’s last year when we were in the market. Seemed like good cars.
As someone who’s originally from Kansas City…. I gotta agree with you.
Dan,
I had the same experience as you in searching for a new car; despite the tough economy, most auto dealers weren’t in a “deal” mode. I got a break on the Mazda because the 2010 models were already on the lot and they were anxious to sell off the remaining 2009s. The Honda dealers were worst of all, I assume it’s due to the high demand for Civics.
Anyway, I love my new car, hope to keep it for at least 8 years.
