Gubernatorial candidate Scott Walker stressed his commitment to lowering government spending in his first television campaign advertisement released Thursday.
Deer Cardinal—
For a team accustomed to winning, and winning a lot, Saturday's final result was a cruel ending.
The state Senate passed a bill Thursday that would provide basic health insurance to thousands of low-income Wisconsin residents.
I am a simple man with simple tastes, and one of those tastes happens to be buffet-style pizza for an affordable price. During one of our numerous five-hour TV sessi ons, my roommates and I witnessed approximately 34 CiCi's Pizza commercials in one 30-minute segment. Enraged by CiCi's taunting us with their mountains of pizza goodness, unbeatable prices and ZERO LOCATIONS IN THE MADISON AREA, we resolved to do something about it. I quickly pulled up the CiCi's website on my laptop, located their customer service contact e-mail and sent off this message to Mr. CiCi himself:
Here we go again. Another year of college football wrapped up, the next class of freshman studs committed and now the inevitable barrage of mock drafts from ESPN gurus Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay.
There are several a cappella groups on campus, each with a distinctive sound and personality. This Saturday, the four groups—Fundamentally Sound, Tangled Up In Blue, MadHatters and Redefined —will team up to put on the A Cappella Showcase, a concert event featuring the groups both separately and together.

This week MTV announced that its new show, ""Mendota Shore,"" would be returning for a second season. The show, which follows the lives of various UW-Madison 20-somethings in their daily misadventures, has captivated audiences who can't get enough of the group's wacky characters.
When you are a WHCA hockey team chasing the McNaughton Cup, like this year's Badger squad, four-point weekends are supremely beneficial, even necessary at times. Usually, in order to sweep a conference opponent, one team must out play the other for a vast majority of the 120 minutes of action in a series. At the Kohl Center this weekend, Wisconsin separated itself from Minnesota State by controlling play during penalty minutes, of which the two teams racked up a combined 109. Put another way: The Badgers' special teams units throttled the Mavericks this weekend, and UW is still in the race for a league title because of it.
The frontrunners in the Wisconsin 2010 gubernatorial election are neck and neck according to a recently released poll.
Last week, Metro bus driver John Nelson became a household name in Madison for his 2009 paycheck of $159,258. It's twice the median income of a Madison household plus a nice used car. While arguments over whether Nelson deserves all this are pointless, the number does dig up some deep issues in the Metro Transit System.
With so much talk about how the Pro Bowl is irrelevant, and with the NBA's All-Star Game this weekend, I felt it would be a good time to discuss the highs and lows of each of the Big Five's—yes, I counted soccer—superstar showcases.
The Wisconsin men's tennis team will try to follow up last Saturday's double victory by tallying another against No. 66 Nebraska Thursday afternoon at the Nielsen Tennis Stadium.
A Madison bus driver who worked overtime was the highest paid city government employee of 2009, raising questions as to how safe and fiscally responsible the practice of allowing unlimited overtime is.
Music has acquired a unique place in our society's hypermedia atmosphere. Audiences are segmented in more ways than you can fold a single sheet of paper, and mainstream markets borrow or buy trendy sensibilities only after a year or two of sustained appeal. There's no better time to interpret this (i.e. trends) than in the most-valued arena for media exposure our country experiences: the Super Bowl.
Through all the genre-saturation hullabaloo generated by the Internet, there are two veins of sound most poised to identify themselves as the namesake of the current decade-plus in music history. Animal Collective's digitalized experimentation has the most followers in both bands and fans, and its very literal technology-bound soundscape makes it an easy candidate for the title; but bands like TV on the Radio make a bold statement for a different form of otherworldly inventiveness, one not tied to the blips and bloops we associate with our own technological progress. And it's in this second vein that Yeasayer find themselves on their latest, Odd Blood.
Two days after the Massachusetts special election put health care on the back burner in Washington (that's assuming it was even on the front burner), Governor Jim Doyle announced a non-state funded health-care plan for adults without dependants. The BadgerCare Basic program would cost enrolled Wisconsin residents $130 per month and is designed to benefit those 20,000 people currently on the BadgerCare Plus waiting list.
It's really too bad that, at some indeterminate point in American cultural history, having a taste for world cinema became a signifier of either one's sophistication or one's pretentiousness. Equally unfortunate is the categorical division between American films and non-American films: To speak of works such as Fritz Lang's ""M"" as being strictly ""foreign"" is to downplay the influence they have had on movies made right here in the good ol' U.S. of A. With that said, major kudos are due to WUD Film Committee for providing UW students with the opportunity to see four canonical masterpieces of world cinema on 35mm this weekend.
