(04/30/08 6:00am)
With two columns to go (including this one) it's time to start letting the memories flow. Consider this the beginning of the end of A Hoge in One"" - although one could easily make the argument it was the beginning of the end two years ago when I wrote my first column.

Abortion must remain legal, available for all
(04/07/08 6:00am)
Last week the Kansas state Senate passed a bill that would effectively limit abortions, and the Florida House passed two bills which would discourage women from seeking out and receiving abortions. Although the Kansas bill will likely be vetoed by the pro-choice governor, the Florida bills are widely expected to pass. The very idea, however, of restricting a woman's right to receive an abortion via Legislature is wrong. Women should be allowed to legally receive an abortion whenever they wish, and for the government to deny them this right goes against the ideals of freedom this country was founded on.

It was fitting, as I began to write this column, to be distracted by playful shadows of steam cutting across the sun from Madison's east side coal plant, laden with the carbon emissions that are the price of running my laptop. It's just one more reminder of our carbon-captured economy. From Al Gore's Academy Award to the homeland security orations of John McCain - where nuclear energy takes precedence to oil imports - clean energy has entered the American conscience in a big way. Nuclear power, with its zero factory emissions and hyper-efficiency, looks to become the political darling of sustainable energy.

Smoking ban should include entire campus
(02/19/08 6:00am)
In 2006 UW-Stevens Point considered a revolutionary measure. The school proposed to expand its smoking ban from campus-owned buildings to all space owned by the university. This, of course, begs the question: Why isn't Madison pursuing a similar measure? After all, isn't UW-Madison known as a highly modern, progressive and liberal campus?
