ScienceDaily: Universal Health Insurance Might Not Save LivesFunny part about it is that Richard Kronick, a former health care adviser to President Clinton, admits that the previous numbers that stated about 18,000 lives would be saved is “too optimistic.”“the evidence we have concerning the relationship between lack of insurance and mortality is not very good, and a reasonable reading of that evidence is that the number of deaths in the United States probably wouldn’t change a lot if everybody...
FOXNews: Pregnant Woman Hit by Car While Fleeing From Bear The headline itself isn’t the weird part you have to read the story to get that. It seems that the bear did not chase the woman only followed her…the DNR caught the bear (tranquilized it)…the woman ID’d the bear (“Yep, officer. That is the bear that followed me out of the woods”)…and then the bear was euthanized. The woman felt so bad that she has decided to give her unborn child the middle name “Bear” because she feels guilty....
If you have not seen the Wisconsin Eye interview yet, get out there and watch: Link Rick Graber, when asked if he is going to run for governor states “I can’t imagine a scenario where that would occur and it’s getting late” (around 16:00) Discusses Walker (around 16:58) and Neumann (around 17:30) running for governor Loves our Congressman Paul Ryan…has very high praise for him a number of times! Comments on Palin around 21:50 -- “Energized the base but nothing more” Rick is a great guy and...
Well we had a guest host for this last week and we did “Name that Island.” I know that a few of you think it was hard but with the hints it was pretty much a slam dunk! It looks like mkfolks gets the prize for getting the island and for being sneaky with her “hint”…”Not the Panama one, huh??” that would be a reference to the Panama Canal…the island in question was Guadalcanal…get it?!? I know a stretch but I deal with this...
Yes ladies and gentleman, I am a geocacher. My wife and I have participated in geocaching since 2002 and love it. It is a great adventure no mater where in the world you go…and we have cached all over the world and plan to continue to do so even while our caching at home has slowed to nothing. But I digress. Go to Geocahing.com to find out more about the “sport.” According to local geocachers the famed “4 corners” (where Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona come together)...

It is true that the State Attorney General has responded to the Open Carry issue here in Wisconsin. For those of you that are unsure as to what I mean…Wisconsin is one of only 2 states that does not allow the carrying of a concealed firearm so many pro-gun citizens have argued that if concealed is not permissible than the right to carry one openly can not be in question. A few citizens that have tried to carry openly were cited for Disorderly Conduct this Advisory Memorandum for the AG...

Last weeks country was pretty easy due to the shape. My wife even got it quicker than normal so I know that it must have been easy! ;^) For those of you that did not get it and was not helped by trainhead’s clues the country was Western Sahara! I received an email from trainhead that stated “Since I've been hogging the 'Name that Country' scene, I thought I would make a small contribution.” And since this means less work for me I thought...
Sometimes we in society just let people get away with things that they should not. Well a Pennsylvania Judge told a man that he would have to pay the $214 that he stole rather then go to jail…which is what the man really wanted. Story here Now I know that we all fall on tough times once in a while but that does not mean you get to skate when you break the law! The judge said that even if he threw the guy in jail the money would still have to be paid so… I’m glad that the judge was...

Well here we are, 103 days into the “new year” and we are finally working for our selves!Since January 1st we have been working for the government. All of our earnings up until this point have gone to pay taxes.Now I know that some out there will say that “we are doing better than last year”…(2009 Tax Freedom Day = 4/13…2008 Tax Freedom Day = 4/21) but the Tax Foundation points out in their annual report why this is…biggest reason...
Well done trainhead…but while you and I (and many Irish) will disagree as to whether or not Northern Ireland is a separate country based on the relationship with England…most in the area will say that they are their own country!

For those of you that are unaware (you would have to be living under a rock!) just South of us in Gurnee there is an amusement park, Six Flags, that in the past has needed workers from as far away as Racine. To accommodate those Racine workers Six Flags provided a bus that would pick them up here in the county and drive them down and back for their shifts. Well due to the economy being what it is, as well as a number of other financial reasons, Six Flags said that they did not need...
