Friday Comment Forum: How will the Brewers do this year?

Here’s the Friday open comments post. How will the Brewers do this year? I’ve not the talent to write consistently and well about baseball, yet I love the game. In the NL Central, of six teams — Reds, Pirates, Cubs, Brewers, Astros, Cardinals — how do you think the Brewers will do? Baseball-Reference.com is available…

Friday Comment Forum: A Banner for Protesters?

Here’s the Friday open comments post. Tea Party groups commonly use the Gadsden Flag at their rallies; for union protesters, what would be a suitable flag or symbol? Alternatively, should they avoid any symbol? The use of pseudonyms and anonymous postings is, of course, fine. Although the comments template has a space for a name,…

Friday Comment Forum: Drew Carey for Senate

Here’s the Friday open comments post. There’s an effort to draft Drew Carey to run for the United States Senate from Ohio. If Carey were to run in Wisconsin, or your own state, would you vote for him (or consider him a suitable candidate)? I’d say yes, that I would consider him a suitable candidate,…

Friday Comment Forum: Dog, Cat, and Rat?

Here’s the Friday open comments post, and it’s something different. I’ve embedded a video of a man who has a pet dog, cat, and rat, each of whom is happy in the company of the other two. He has a message behind all this: the hope that different kinds of people can get along. No…

Friday Comment Forum: Winter Survival Tips

Here’s the Friday open comments post. Today’s suggested topic — what do you do to make winter days more enjoyable? I like the cold, and so this time of year doesn’t bother me. I like it. But, for those who don’t: what do you do to get by until spring? The use of pseudonyms and…

Friday Comment Forum: Polar Plunge?

Here’s the Friday open comments post. Today’s suggested topic — Would you take a polar plunge, for charity, or even just for the experience? (As with the Special Olympics, one can always donate to a charity without getting wet.) Would you, though? These brave volunteers did, in support of the Special Olympics, last year: The…

Friday Comment Forum: Worst Song Ever

Here’s the Friday open comments post. Today’s suggested topic — The Canadians have banned a Dire Straits song. If you were going to ban a song — although I think banning’s a bad idea — what would you ban? Less intrusively, what song would you switch off the moment you heard it? My pick —…

Friday Comment Forum: Favorite Winter Activity

Here’s the Friday open comments post. Today’s suggested topic — favorite winter activity. Mine’s walking with Dog X — we both like cold weather.

Book — How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Show — A Charlie Brown Christmas. The use of pseudonyms and anonymous postings is, of course, fine.…

Friday Comment Forum: Immigration Regulations — More, Fewer, Same?

Here’s the Friday open comments post. Today’s suggested topic — immigration regulations — more, fewer, same? I’d easily saw fewer. In the preceding post, I refer to Jason Riley’s excellent book, “Let Them In: The Case For Open Borders.” The use of pseudonyms and anonymous postings is, of course, fine. Although the comments template has…
