Tonight, Harley-Davidson’s 100th birthday finished up with a free concert. Tens of thousands of people came to Milwaukee’s Veteran’s Park along the shore of Lake Michigan. The Doobie Brothers performed with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, but H-D kept the big names secret. All week, there were rumors of who would play the show. U2’s […]
Here’s how college tuition skyrockets. The University of Michigan changed their undergraduate admissions process to conform to a recent Supreme Court ruling. Here’s the key paragraph from the Washington Post story:
As a result of the changes, officials said, they are hiring 16 part-time readers to review applications and five additional full-time admissions counselors, at an […]
Don’t worry. I’m not endorsing the ex-NATO general. Today, while shopping in West Bend, WI, I saw a group of 5 people on a street corner holding signs saying “Clark for President.” Since my area is solidly Republican that means the every area Democrat (all five of them) doesn’t want any of the current candidates.
“Ex-NATO […]

Jeffrey Lee Parson, the creator of one of the Blaster viruses, being the fat slob that he is will receive more combined ridicule for the rest of his life than the poor Star Wars kid. There’s already been a mention of Jabba the Hutt.

I’ve had so much fun picking on Howard the Duck and Sen. Bob “Numbers make my head hurt” Graham (D-FL) that I haven’t offered anything on Sen. John “I was a Beatles groupie” Kerry (D-MA). With the Senator offering an economic plan, that will now be rectified.
There’s no need to bother reading the speech since […]
Al Franken lost it while hosting CNN’s Crossfire (a worthless excuse for a “news” show) and babbled near the end of the program. All the attention has gotten to him. Maybe that way Fox News’/Bill O’Reilly’s plan all along to stop Franken. They sued him so he would garner so much attention that he’d eventually […]
Matthew joins me in loudly declaring displeasure that Harvard wasted research money to fund Al Franken. He writes,
In their asinine lawsuit against Franken, Fox may have perfected the anti-publicity stunt, but that doesn’t validate Franken’s volume as a piece of “journalism” worthy of a Harvard fellowship, particularly when Franken used his Harvard resources to lie […]
What’s with those Madison college students? They must be sluffing off with their binge drinking and carousing. How else can the University of Colorado Boulder beat them out as the top party campus? When you go to school in a state known for its beer you have to take that reputation seriously. Colorado may be […]

Thanks to the link and kind words from Stephen Green TAM had its best traffic day of the week. A little over 300 visitors came yesterday. My goal of 5000+ visitors for August will now easily be reached. That will make August the biggest traffic month since ElianWatch way back in 2000. Thank you all […]
This is a sign that the Bush team is beginning to understand that good economics is good politics:
Treasury Secretary John W. Snow, Commerce Secretary Don Evans and other economic advisors want President Bush to roll back tariffs he imposed on $3 billion in steel imports, people familiar with the matter said.
Bush’s economic team will […]
