A client of mine mentioned this yesterday, basically saying how is government going to run health care when women get all upset at the mere suggestion they wait for mammograms?

$100M to Louisiana to "sway" a single vote. Sometimes, it's difficult to believe what happens in DC is legal.

My sources say Oprah and her people have long limited the time she spends in Montecito so she doesn't exceed the number of days mandating her to pay exorbitant taxes as a California resident.--Nikki Finke Taxes are for the little people.

Wisconsin's unofficial State holiday kicks off tomorrow with the opening of gun deer hunting season. The WDNR has lots of information here . I know that the deer herd numbers are reportedly down, for a variety of reasons. That said, there are still lots of deer in the state and the hunt has wide ...

Brewers announce changes and improvements . If there's a better place to watch a game, I'd sure like to see it.

John Stossel is more upset about the runaway spending than he is about taxes. I recall people back then complaining that Reagan spent too much on defense...of course, the current administration spends on everything except defense.

The Brewers claim catcher George Kottaras off waivers from the Red Sox. Decent AAA stas for George, who bats LH. We'll see what Doug says, but I would guess he'll be on the 2010 25 man roster, either as a reserve or splitting time.

Al, I pretty much read your blog everyday, but I have to disagree with you on your view of the Patriots/Colts game. Like most of the rest of America I was elated to see the Colts win, but if the Packers were in that situation I surely would have wanted them to go for it. The Patriots punter is ...

Nathan feels NE did the right thing by going for it. I think his math is wrong. They did not have a 76% chance of making it, on 4th and 2 in a goal-line or game deciding situation like that, I'd say it was about 40% (Indy could over play a bit, because a 15 yard gain, or a 50 yard gain is the ...

What's astounding is how the old media is ignoring billions in "stimulus" dollars being wasted or simply untracked. At least the Examiner has the guts to state the obvious .

The Rambling brother just e-mailed about Counsell, and after taking a look at the other available possibilities, the best I can come up with are Jerry Hairston Jr. and Omar Vizquel. Heck, if he's non-tendered, I'd probably take this guy over them just due to his speed and versatility, even ...

Olney says a dozen teams are interested in Craig Counsell , and he'll probably get a multi-year deal. I'd have no problem giving him one, as his skill set is unlikely to deteriorate, and he is also more likely to stay healthy as a reserve. The irony here is, casual fans have been picking on ...

Casey McGehee has emerged as a solid player, but the Brewers are reluctant to trade Mat Gamel, even if it would net them the starting pitching they covet.--Phil Rogers, Chicago Tribune Rogers makes the old media look bad, which is difficult enough to do, with stuff like this. Gamel was pretty ...

NFL picks...Broncos, Saints, Falcons, Cowboys, and Ravens, plus the remaining home teams. Against the pointspread, I'm taking the Falcons and Ravens, as I cannot imagine the Browns scoring a point. 78-38 thus far, 7-9 versus the spread, which is why bookmaking is a lucrative enterprise. I ...

I'm still very concerned about Brandon Jennings' ability to stay healthy over 82 games, as he looks like he weighs about 150 pounds, but there's no doubting his ability. They said it was "Lebron-like" as he was effortlessly dropping in 29...in the 3rd quarter, and they were right. The irony is, ...

The Brewers did not want Pirates catcher Ryan Doumit for shortstop J.J. Hardy. They also did not want another player the Pirates suggested, right-handed reliever Matt Capps. No, the Brewers' preference from the Pirates, according to a major-league source, was one of two left-handed starters, ...

Eco-friendly way to clear brush...goats . I would think spraying salt water would do the same thing, without having to rent goats all the time. Note the story about astronauts and pens.
