No answers yet on UW-Eau Claire professor intimidating conservative students

I asked the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire one very simple question: Is José Felipe Alvergue, the professor accused of violently intimidating conservative students on campus, on a paid or unpaid administrative leave? UW-Eau Claire passed me off to its media relations director for the entire Universities of Wisconsin. Its response: “This is an ongoing personnel […]

I got my start with Bernie Sanders, but Donald Trump is, again, getting everyone into politics

If there’s one thing good about Donald Trump, he sure gets everyone involved in politics. Sure, that takes illegally deporting a Maryland father of three to an El Salvador gulag and then trying to justify that somehow. And maybe that’s the problem with politics — the need for something so outrageous to happen, for people […]

Springtime, must be candidate season in the Coulee Region

The La Crosse area has elections every April, but there’s only a race for president every four years. The 1976 primary campaign, in which Gerald Ford was the incumbent, brought the leading candidates to La Crosse during a two-week period. Ford led a Saturday night rally at the Sawyer Auditorium downtown, less than a week […]

When the Catbirds and Bobcats ruled downtown La Crosse

La Crosse basketball fans all remember the names Stephen Jackson, Mark Davis, Vince “The Prince” Hamilton and Flip Saunders. They were part of the show that were the La Crosse Catbirds and Bobcats in the 1980s and 1990s at the La Crosse Center in the heyday of the CBA (Continental Basketball Association). The Center has […]
