Sarah Palin made a certain comment recently that deserves a little exposition. In an article from the Associated Press on Nov. 8, several of the governor's quotes were extracted from her response to criticisms that she's received from McCain's aides. ("Palin denounces anonymous critics as cowardly") While elaborating upon the "ridiculous" nature of the allegations, she's quoted as saying, "You guys report based on anonymous sources, so it's hard to have a defense.

There's a good chance Matt Dudzik's Ford Explorer will be the last vehicle leaving the parking lot at the REC Center on most nights. After picking up towels, putting away the scoreboards and checking the doors, it's common for him to be turning off the lights close to midnight.

The bar was set high for "Gears of War 2," but does it deliver? Simply put, yes.
"Gears of War" cemented the Xbox 360 as a true next-generation contender. Even though the first "Gears of War" has flaws, including the short and simple story, the stellar game play and beautiful graphics more than make up for them.

Think we have it bad here at UWM as far as where we can and cannot smoke? Then consider places like Canada, Brazil, France, India and Italy that have nationwide public smoking bans in public places; some with even more strict rules than that. So, what's to stop Milwaukee (including UWM) from banning smoking in public places, then Wisconsin, and then…maybe the United States collectively?
For those who welcome the addition of smoking bans here in Wisconsin, they are no doubt disappointed by the defeat of the proposed smoking ban in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in the voting on November 4.

When one reflects on this election's historical importance, they will obviously remember Barack Obama's victory over John McCain and the Democrats' assumption of power, but just as Obama should be associated with his party's rise, Sarah Palin's name should be linked to the downfall of her party.

In 1975, after a stunning loss in the 1974 midterm elections Ronald Reagan stated about the future of the Republican Party, "Our people look for a cause to believe in. Is it a third party we need, or is it a new and revitalized second party, raising a banner of no pale pastels, but bold colors which make it unmistakably clear where we stand on all of the issues troubling the people?"
Twenty-three years later, the same situation arises in the Republican Party about where the party should go after a defeat that has seen the party lose the White House.
