Winter Coats and Other Items Needed for Homeless Wisconsin Veterans

Posted on October 27, 2011

Comrades and Sisters,
It has come to my attention that our volunteers at the VA in Milwaukee are in dire need of winter coats for homeless veterans.  If you could please do a collection of GOOD used
coats our veterans would appreciate it.  Remember, they need to be in good condition, clean with no buttons missing or zippers broken. If you won’t wear it, they should not wear it.

  Please do a collection as soon as possible as the cold weather is upon us.  I have listed below some other needs  you may be able to help with.

  Let’s get together and keep our veterans warm for the winter.

   
WINTER COATS–SIZE LARGE—XLARGE—XXLARGE—XXXLARGE

  SWEATSHIRTS—ANY SIZE

  SHOES—ANY SIZE

  BELTS–ANY SIZE

  INSULATED UNDERWEAR—LARGE AND UP

  Please contact me and I will make arrangements to get the coats picked up.

It's Cute That New York is Slowly Catching Up with Wisconsin

Posted on September 27, 2011

When I moved from Wisconsin to the Lower East Side in January, I quickly discovered my deep Midwest roots were very uncool. After a few smirks and condescending remarks about how I must be feeling “culture shock” in the big city, I learned not to broadcast the fact that I was raised and educated in, as our license plates proudly proclaim, America’s Dairyland.

It wasn’t always easy. When my date at Max Fish ordered a can of PBR, I didn’t tell him that my grandpa and his VFW friends considered it treason to drink anything that hadn’t been bottled in Milwaukee. When my neighbor wore a Green Bay Packer jersey over her skinny jeans, I kept quiet about the fact that my father, like all decent men born and bred in Wisconsin, owned a small piece of the team. And when a photographer at a birthday party in Brooklyn patiently explained to me how she recently canned garlic scapes, I refrained from sharing my mother’s recipe for pepper jelly.

But what a year! With Bon Iver’s second Wisconsin-recorded album in heavy hipster rotation and Chad Harbach’s Wisconsin-set The Art of Fielding on seemingly every Kindle on the L train, a strange realization occurred to me: Instead of leaving my tiny hometown in central Wisconsin to live in the white-hot center of cool, I could have just stayed in Waupaca (population 6,265) and churned out Styles section pieces for the New York Times until the cows came home—because, literally, there are cows down the street from the house. Without even trying, it seems, I was born in the coolest place on earth—and now everyone is trying to catch up.

American Idol producer Nigel Lythgoe talks about arguing with “Morons” and “Megalomaniac Fans” from Wisconsin [video]

Posted on May 18, 2011

Super-producer Nigel Lythgoe talks with MTV News on the topic of his show, American Idol, being rigged or fixed.

Nigel says, “I always end up having to go, ‘You morons out there …’ or something like that, and realize that I’m arguing with 7- or 8-year-olds from Wisconsin."

Shortly thereafter So You Think You Can Dance judge Mary Murphy laughs like a trained monkey for her boss.

Coming Soon To State Near You: Wisconsin Meat Products

Posted on May 9, 2011

A federal regulation that prevents most small meat producers from shipping their products across state lines is being relaxed, and Wisconsin officials are happy.

Meat producers, however, said they're not sure what to make of the new rules.

Donna Gilson, a spokeswoman with the state's agriculture department, said the change will help Wisconsin because it has more small meat producers than any other state does. She also said Wisconsin makes bratwurst and other specialty products that will sell well in other states.

Badgers hold off Northwestern to finish perfect at Kohl Center

Posted on February 28, 2011

After watching No. 12 Wisconsin beat Northwestern 78-63 on Sunday to go unbeaten at home for the third time in his tenure, Ryan said the idea of maintaining home-court advantage isn't something he emphasizes to his players -- or even mentions to them.

"It never was in a conversation that we had," the coach said. "All I said after the game was we closed out the home portion of the schedule. Now we still have games to play. But I've never talked about it."

Jon Leuer scored 26 points to lead the Badgers (22-6, 12-4 Big Ten) past a hot-shooting Wildcats team that used 3-pointers to stay in the game.

Wisconsin went 16-0 at the Kohl Center this season -- the third time in 10 seasons under Ryan that the Badgers were untouchable on their home court.
