I'm so sick of this it's not even funny. I could be more pissed about the weather today, except the rest of my pissyness has been taken up by Charter cable - which I'll write about in a minute...
Last night, the Badgers skillfully put out "The" Ohio State University and moved into 2nd place in the Big Ten - with the slippery path they were falling down, ...

Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible. - Lord Kelvin, 1892
NASA is about to launch a probe that will capture data and imagery from Pluto. The "New Horizons" Spacecraft will travel more than 10 times faster than a bullet, at 47,000mph once it reaches it's top speed and will take 10 years to reach Pluto.

Somebody has to say something. Somebody has to stop it from happening again. We have one week until our Big Ten home opener, and we have to rise up and take control of our image. If we don't, who will?
UW Band member, Erin Taylor, a flugelhorn player, has been singing The Star Spangled Banner a lot this year. Before I go on, let me ...

Why aren't we all happy?
All of our knowledge, possessions, ...

Last year, I don't remember having snow stay on the ground until right around Christmas. This year, it's been white for almost 2 weeks already.
After being in southern California for 4 winters in a row, I would come back for a few days each year around the holidays to dead grass and gloom... I rarely saw snow when I would visit Wisconsin. It was sad actually. ...

Over the Badger's first 3 games, they're averaging 86.3 points per game, good enough to make them FOURTH on the ppg list for the entire country.... if they included Wisconsin on the list at all: HERE (Addition: 11/26/05 - WI has been added to the list, now that there's plenty of teams they can put ahead of them. Bucky's around #20 or so...)
Evidently, the media thinks so low ...

Bad news people. As most of you have probably noticed, gas prices have skyrocketed today $.20 (Madison, WI). The gas station insiders are saying that another raise of $.70 tomorrow is not out of the question. I've heard that a station in Milwaukee is unable to obtain regular unleaded as of today.
If gas prices go up almost a full dollar within a

Ok. I'm at a stop light - one that I'm at quite frequently. There are two lanes to turn left. I'm in the right-most of those two lanes. A minivan pulls up along side me in the left-most lane. We're both turning left. The light turns green, and she hits the gas to try and cut me off so she can take ...
