Trying to remember the last time…

Yes, openly carrying a gun is a right…

…but from a public relations standpoint I think it’s counterproductive.

Now, sildenafil clinic if Wisconsin would finally approve a reasonable concealed-carry law.

Good freakin’ riddance

I can’t wait for the Midwest name to disappear.

I’m still furious at all the morons in this community who wanted to keep Airtran from buying Midwest.

Milwaukee could have been the northern hub of a growing discount airline. Instead Airtran is being forced to build it’s presence in Milwaukee one gate at a time while the people who run Republic are dismissing Milwaukee and the Midwest name.

I know I’m not writing very coherently at the moment, buy cialis buy cialis but I’m so pissed about the missed opportunity that I’m having a hard time putting two words together at a time that have more than four letters in them.

almost, maine was nearly great

I saw the Milwaukee Rep’s production of almost, discount cialis capsule maine, troche yesterday.

It was very pleasant. The writing was predictable, but the acting was professional and the situations were sweet.

Definitely recommended as a different sort of date to take your darling on for Valentine’s Day.

A modest proposal

Considering the caliber of the candidates for the next superintendent of Milwaukee Public Schools, buy cialis search I’d like to suggest that we put Milwaukee’s very successful Chief of Police Edward A. Flynn in charge, instead.

My math might be a little fuzzy…

…but even so, sildenafil cheap I think it helps me see Milwaukee Public schools a little more clearly.

In 2008, viagra canada ailment MPS spent 1.2 BILLION dollars educating fewer than 80,000 students.

That’s around $15,000 per student….PER YEAR.

As a reference: the per capita income in Wisconsin that year was $25,993. Just $10,000 more than what it cost to educate one kid.

If a kid stays in high school for four years, that’s $60,000. And after the taxpayers spend that $60,000, there’s a better than 50% chance that kid won’t graduate.

Think about those numbers next time someone tells you we’re not spending enough on education.

Perhaps, just perhaps, it’s not how much we’re spending, but how we’re spending it.

What’s the real outrage?

There is no defending the Milwaukee Public Schools teacher who reportedly cut the braid off a 1st grader as a form of punishment.

What I find interesting is the outrage the incident apparently inspired in African Americans across the country.

I think I’d like to see some of that anger directed towards the fact that that same little girl has a less than 50% chance of eventually graduating from MPS with a high school diploma.
