Also, I feel that the lot next to Ace should be 24 hour parking, at least on Friday and Saturday night. Let folks who have one too many call a cab without worrying about a ticket on their car.   more ›

Nuitari... there's a guy on Facebook by the name of Benjamin Riche who started an event page about that. I think that's a real fear and quite frankly, I contacted him but he then made some disparaging remark about the Onion being interactive. I tried... but I think you are right. If you have any ideas on who to talk to... I'm listening.   more ›

Been there done that: I take it you are using every ounce of your 99 weeks of unemployment? Any decent employer will not hire someone like you, even at $10-12/ hr. Your best bet is get used to saying,"Would you like fries with that?" Though I doubt you are the type to want to work for a living, what page(s) is your signature on?   more ›

Bill Clinton: Romney's Recovery Plan is 'Dumb Economically'

Former was in Waukesha rallying Democratic support with just five days left before the election. In the waning moments of the campaign, both parties have targeted the Badger State in what could be a photo finish Nov. 6.

Former President Bill Clinton stumped deep in the heart of Republican territory in Wisconsin Thursday to talk dollars, cents, and arithmetic before a crowd of roughly 600 people in Waukesha. Clinton — dubbed the "Secretary of Explaining Things" minutes before by Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett — praised President Barack Obama’s plan to rebuild the economy, saying that it was based upon arithmetic. He couldn’t say the same for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s plan to restore the nation’s economy, which Clinton said would undermine the identity of the country. Clinton said there’s a reason Romney has been mum on explaining how his tax cuts add up. “There is no possible way to do this without cutting education, without cutting …

Paul Ryan Taps Packers Mojo, Reaffirms Plan to Tackle Nation's Debt

Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan campaigned in Waukesha on Monday and held a town hall meeting that was dominated by the economy. Ryan promised an Aaron Rodgers-eque all-star performance to address the nation's financial problems.

Capitalizing on Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers' all-star performance Sunday night, Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan told a Waukesha crowd Monday that Americans can expect a similar game-changing performance from him and nominee Mitt Romney, if they are elected in three weeks. Ryan, Gov. Scott Walker and Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch all tapped into the Packers' 42-24 upset win over the Houston Texans during the morning rally. Ryan did away with the typical stage and podium, and instead opted for a more personal town hall format. Roughly 1,500 people packed the cozy confines of the Van Male Field House. Ryan took six questions from random members of the audience – from a 13-year-old to a union laborer. Walker received a …
