Inmate release pragmatic measure
(02/27/09 6:00am)
One of the money-saving measures under Gov. Jim Doyle's budget proposal has provoked significant backlash. The plan would release up to 1,000 state inmates and potentially save $27.5 million, according to a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel report. Doyle and company are stressing that only nonviolent criminals would see early release, and the offenders who don't violate prison rules could reduce their prison sentences by a third. Additionally, inmates under extended supervision could receive early release, as well as terminally ill inmates or those with expensive, debilitating medical conditions.

(02/20/09 6:00am)
For months leading up to the 2008 presidential election, America was engulfed by an ideology of change. You don't have to be a political expert to understand where this immense passion for change came from. For those of you too busy spying on Russia from Alaska to understand how the confident ineptitude of the last eight years spawned this call for change, then this article may not be for you.
Cold brings back fight with mother nature
(02/09/09 6:00am)
I don't know if any of you noticed, but it was absolutely gorgeous this weekend. I didn't go numb, my eyes didn't tear because of the cold winds and I wasn't forced to pile on 37 layers of clothing to brace the outdoors. The beautiful weather came out of nowhere, like a miracle occurred.

(10/21/08 6:00am)

Bad hip-hop should cut commentary, make music
(09/23/08 6:00am)
Few things will motivate me to listen to an album more than Pitchfork giving it a rating of 0.2 out of 10. I don't have anything specific against Pitchfork (other than their entire system of precision rating), but a 0.2 is something you don't see very often. So when I read Pitchfork's review of Dan le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip's new album, Angles, I instantly searched YouTube for their music. After listening to Thou Shalt Always Kill"" and ""Letter from God to Man,"" I wondered how bad the other 10 songs had to be to drag the album down so far.
