  • Hong & Bangstad for governor!

    Extremes win primary elections. Your irascible Head Groundskeeper is steepling his fingers like Mr. Burns in The Simpsons over the prospect that Kirk Bangstad, the deranged microbrewer from Minocqua, might enter the Democrat primary for Wisconsin governor. Bangstad is the nut case offering free beer for anyone who finishes the job started at the White…

  • Ilhan Omar endorses Hong

They were down 35 to 15 when we switched off the 13-inch b&w Philco (SORCERY!) shortly before half time. We missed “fifth-year guard” Nick Boyd draining a two-pointer with one second before intermission. Our men in shorts continued…
