A little tough talk, in plain English
Give war a chance. Blaska has offered the Wisconsin State Journal, our favorite Madison morning daily newspaper (except for Mondays), his unique and under-appreciated talents to write an opinion column. Awaiting a response from whoever is its current editor. (They come and they go more frequently than Peruvian presidents.) If our price ($500 a pop)…

Anyone doubt that Iran is behind the assault on Israel? Theory…

Growing up, kids were connoisseurs of WW2 military hardware. The Head Groundskeeper affixed airplane glue to Revell plastic models of WW2 fighter planes. (The…
