| Politics and the Olympics Wed, 16 Apr 08 13:59:41 -0500 There are actually some cranks grousing that politics should be kept out of the Olympics.

| Tacos Royale Wed, 30 Apr 08 14:06:23 -0500 Affordable haute cuisine Brookfield is not the place where I would expect to find a good Mexican restaurant, especially one with the French-sounding name of Haute Taco. Moreover, this is a place that takes liberties like making tacos with duck breast and short ribs! |
| Ending Busing Wed, 30 Apr 08 14:06:23 -0500 Having been an active participant in the court-ordered busing to integrate Milwaukee’s public schools, I would be the first to admit that it didn’t turn out to magically create quality public schools for every child. Neither will ending busing. |

| The Bad Dream Ticket Wed, 14 May 08 15:15:09 -0500 Of all the media clich%uFFFDs about the current presidential race, perhaps the most absurd is describing a ticket headed by Sen. Barack Obama with Sen. Hillary Clinton as his running mate as “a dream ticket.” Talk about your bad dreams. |
| Is That a Key in Your Pocket? Wed, 14 May 08 15:15:09 -0500 I’m Art Kumbalek and man oh manischewitz what a world, ain’a? So listen, I would’ve whipped out an essay for you’s this week except I’ve been called away on a mission. And that mission is to “go find the key.” I have not a focking clue as to where this key may be nor what this key may unlock. My guess is that this key may finally be the one that unlocks the door to global peace, prosperity and brotherhood for one and all. Since I’m no locksmith, I figure it’s got to be easier to find such a key than make one, so what the fock. |
| The Wellness Warriors Wed, 14 May 08 15:15:09 -0500 Eat and Be Young You are what you eat, as the old saying goes. But we’d like to add this simple thought: What you eat can make you old.

| Chuck Shepherd's News of the Weird Wed, 14 May 08 15:15:09 -0500 Ultimate fighting—also known as "human cockfighting"—a style of brawling in which almost anything goes, is considered a major sport in some Southern and Western states. But only Missouri allows kids as young as 6 to fight, according to a March Associated Press dispatch from Carthage, Mo. Youth members of the Garage Boys Fight Crew regularly square off with only a few concessions in rules from their adult counterparts (like slightly more protective gear). Parents seem to regard the sport as casually as they would Little League baseball or soccer. Some kids remain friends after pummeling each other inside the cage, and even head off to play video games afterward. |

| The Polka King Wed, 14 May 08 15:15:09 -0500 The Avalon Theatre remains dark, Oriental Drugs and Goldman’s are gone. The last 10 years have been bad for local landmarks. Art’s Concertina Bar was another symbol of Old Milwaukee that was about to disappear. The city’s last remaining polka bar was rescued last fall by a new owner, an energetic young St. Francis firefighter called Andy Kochanski. Now called Kochanski’s Concertina Beer Hall, the bar is getting a gradual facelift while remaining true to its purpose of preserving polka in a city where polka once was king. |
