“Reality.” The word has a comfortable, solid sound to it, doesn’t it? Good old reality. Dependable, like the North Star…like sunrise. But, is it actually like that? Are you sure that it isn’t just a bunch of ideas planted in your head? Really? On the other hand, “brainwashing” has such a sinister sound [...] I’d like to provide some logical, scientific information about the open pit iron mine proposed for the Penokee Hills in Ashland and Iron Counties of Wisconsin.

By a 58 to 39 party line vote in the Wisconsin Assembly, the giveaway of our resources to that greedy bastard [...] We were lucky this year. The weather was perfect for the 40th American Birkebeiner Ski Race from Cable to Hayward. The snow depth was knee deep, and temperatures hovered just below the freezing mark all day.
