Thank you US Cellular for giving me plenty of photographic material to cover Summerfest like I was there. Throughout the 11-day festival I’ll be posting a Babe of the Day.
Behold, our first winner:
I’m accepting nominations. If you have good pics from Summerfest feel free to send them my way.

I wonder how many took off today to start their weekend early and running off to Summerfest? If you’re wondering if you should go tonight here are some of who’s playing:
Tom Petty and Pearl Jam play the Marcus Amphitheater for a second-straight night.
DB Bryant Band plays the Harley-Davidson Roadhouse at 7:00. It’s a hard rocking, […]
Michael McGee/Jackson now doesn’t want to change his name:
Online court records for the case show an entry from Thursday that states: “Court received call from petitioner advising that he will not be pursuing the petition for name change and will be submitting a letter to this effect.” A hearing on the request is set for […]
The Hamdan decision makes terrorist trials an issue for November’s elections. Karl Rove is jumping for joy.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is giddy about the Hamdan ruling. “Today’s Supreme Court decision reaffirms the American ideal that all are entitled to the basic guarantees of our justice system.” That includes a member of al Qaeda, a group […]
Summerfest, the world’s biggest outdoor music festival is underway along Milwaukee’s Lake Michgan shore. What’s on tap tonight?
Tom Petty and Pearl Jam headline the Marcus Amphitheater in the first of their two-night run.
Milwaukee favorites The Love Monkeys play the Miller Lite Oasis at 6:00.
Elvis Costello & the Imposters featuring Allen Toussaint will be at the […]
The Supreme Court issued their Hamdan ruling and it’s a loss for the President and his military tribunals. The most important aspect of the ruling is the Geneva Convention applies to al Qaeda even though they wear no uniform and represent no country or have even signed the convention–unless Osama has some papers stashed away […]
All is not horrible for Wisconsin’s business climate. Direct Supply will build a new headquarters in Milwaukee with hopes of having 2000 people working there in ten years. Green Bay is getting a UnitedHealth call center employing 1000 more people. Stark Investments is opening a new office in downtown Milwaukee. [Jay owes me a nickel.]
The […]
The Bucks do a sort-of blast from the past by bringing red back into the team’s colors. Long-time fans will recall Lew Alcindor and Oscar Robertson winning a championship wearing red and green. The only new aspect to the logo is the team font. This wasn’t a radical alteration.
The new uniforms, to be revealed […]
Frank Cannon & Richard Lessner declared soccer “truly Seinfeldesque, a game about nothing, sport as sensation.” It represents the “nihilism, existentialism, and anomie that have overtaken Europe.” And soccer is against human nature for its emphasis on the use of one’s head and the illegal use of one’s hands.
“Nil, Nil”
UPDATE: I’ve been a little behind […]
At 7:30 CDT the Milwaukee Bucks will unveil their new team logo and colors.
As for the draft the Toronto Raptors picked Andrea Bargnani, some Italian I’ve never heard of, as the #1 pick.
UPDATE: It’s 7:35 and no news yet. Herb’s team isn’t too prompt.
UPDATE II: It’s 7:45 and on the Bucks’ website they’ve replaced purple […]
ESPN can hype it all it wants with commercials filled with action, rock music, and passionate fans but people aren’t watching the World Cup:
Despite a high level of media coverage for the World Cup soccer tournament, three-fourths of Americans (78%) are not following the action very closely if at all. A Rasmussen Reports survey of […]
Bill Christofferson complains that Rep. Mark Green’s supporters are too white. Would he feel better if I started going blackface? In his “superficial racist” world the color of one’s skin is more important than one’s character and ideas.

It’s hard to believe but Ann Coulter love the Grateful Dead. By her rough count she’s been to 67 shows all of them without consuming any drugs.
When talking about Deadheads there always comes a point when the hippy stuff gets too descriptive:
I fondly remember seeing the Dead when I was at Cornell. It […]
I’m under the weather today. Sleep has been my best friend. That’s why there was no show prep for Charlie Sykes, and my first post is so late today.
Anyway, Oracle’s billionaire Larry Ellison took back his gift to Harvard University, and it has to do with outgoing president Larry Summers:
An Oracle spokesman said on Tuesday […]
There’s lots of comic book movie goodness in the latest Spider-Man 3 trailer. The black symbiant suit plays a starring role, and the Sandman and the Green Goblin, Jr./Hobgobblin will give Spidey fits. I’m worried the movie will have too many villians. My fear is it could wind up being Sam Raimi’s version of Batman […]
