Since moving to the Bay Area I’ve been doing a decent job of managing the emotions that come with uprooting and adjusting to a new place. I’ve definitely had down days where I miss my friends and community in Madison, but thankfully the Bay Area has so many distractions and...
If I were to rely solely on the comments sections of comic book industry news sites I’d be led to believe that Superior Spider-Man is the worst thing to happen to Marvel – ever. In truth, it’s one of the best titles the company currently has, which is saying quite...
There’s a rather silly equivalency being repeated on the Internet that Twitter replaced Google Reader. Joshua Rothman, for example, makes this suggestion in his recent post for New Yorker. He writes: You might feel great when you reach Inbox Zero, but, believe me, it feels even better to reach Reader...
How much does it cost to write a $15,000 check to the Wounded Warrior Project? Much more than the sum written on the giant check Distilled Spirits Council President and CEO Dr. Peter H. Cressy presented to the organization Monday night. DISCUS was the host of the Spirit of Charlotte event...
Last night on the stage at the Republican National Convention Rep. Paul Ryan found out what it would take to make the mainstream media stand up and start calling out falsehoods and lies in a political campaign. The Vice Presidential candidate from Janesville did himself a serious disservice when he...

Flyers recently surfaced in District 18 encouraging voters to cast votes for Zombie candidate and anti-Wisconsin businessman John Buckstaff in the Democratic primary against Jessica King on July 12. Buckstaff is running at the behest...
John Buckstaff likes fighting dirty. When he disagrees with a Governor he’ll tell businesses to stay out of the state of Wisconsin. When he loves a Senator that more than 20,000 of his neighbors have said should face a recall he’ll happily misrepresent himself simply to trigger a primary for...
I didn’t personally understand the initial email outrage. Even if Governor Scott Walker was being a typical hyperbolic politician regarding the emails, simply citing that he was basing decisions off “8,000 emails” should have been enough for critics. It is, after all, barely one-eighth of one percent of the population...
I’ve been covering the rallies at the Wisconsin Capitol building since they started on Monday. The majority of signs have been straightforward and often amusing. A small sample has been straight up geeky hitting a special place in my heart (Ex: “Walker Can’t TriForce“). On Wednesday I saw the first...
So Very Social
