50s this weekend, then more than a week of 40s (or 30s!) Following 50s this weekend, highs will be in the 40s (at best) for the next 10 days. |

A different way to look at health care I must make a confession. At the risk of being labeled a RINO, I need to express my support for universal health care. Before being trashed by my fellow fiscal conservatives and being hailed by hapless progressives, let me explain. |

No, you may not enter The Boston bombing incident highlighted a new and disturbing trend in America. As the Boston police searched for the remaining suspect, they proceeded to enter homes in a forceful and right-seizing manner. While many residents willingly allowed heavily armed police to enter their home in the frantic search, others weren't allowed their constitutional rights. |

The ballad of the hotel washcloth Lindsay was hoping for a relaxing day with her husband in a poolside cabana. What she got instead was a bizarre performance that led her to pose this question: just how much is a decent person supposed to do in a pool shower? |

Don't assume her position; women love sex Over the years I've learned that most people - women and men alike - assume that women aren't supposed to act like they enjoy sex. They tell themselves that only "sluts" and "over-sexed cougars" love sex. Why? Because it scares them to imagine that liking sex, wanting it, even begging for it on our hands and knees, has very real consequences to it. Those consequences are complicated and messy, yet fun to explore if we embrace it. |

When does summer really end? When the kids go back to school and we flip the calendar to September, most write off summer as being over. Not true. Here's why. |

Make like a butterfly and change I've always wanted to be one of those people who don't take everything so seriously; who isn't so affected by what other people do and say; who doesn't feel quite so deeply about everything. I consciously work on building a thicker skin, but alas - some personality traits die hard. |

Five reasons I'm ready for fall If you'd ask me any other year, I'd tell you that I don't want summer to ever end. It always feels way too short, and the prospect of six cold, dark months of winter ahead gives me the shivers before the snow even flies. But this has been a weird summer. Atypical temperature swings, a historical Brewers collapse - I've personally felt a little sluggish and a lot sweaty for a few months now. So, I might regret saying this, but I think I'm ready for fall. Here are five reasons why. |

Erasing and redrawing the lines of bigotry The media has spent the last few years doing a great job of redrawing the lines of bigotry. It used to be that action predicated bigotry. Today, simply having a religious belief that opposes gay marriage will brand you as a bigot. This subtle change is no mistake and has been effective in turning the conversation of bigotry from actions to beliefs. |

Weiner's sex scandal has nothing to do with mayoral race A little harmless fun online doesn't seem quite serious enough to derail a political career. If everybody knows what's going on and nobody raises a stink except the media, then I agree with Weiner when he says he thinks New Yorkers will focus more on his message than on this other stuff. |

Standing on the shoulders of giants Late last year when I climbed about as high as one can climb up the City Hall tower, I lifted the metal shades that cover the windows closest to the base of the flagpole. I looked out at the panoramic view of Milwaukee and my mind immediately went to one thing. Well, to one person. I thought about my grandfather, a lifelong Milwaukeean, who passed away six years after I moved here. |

Got Wanderlust? I'd never been to Wanderlust, the festival that celebrates the union of yoga, music and nature until this past weekend. I journeyed to Wanderlust California for the fifth anniversary of the festival held at beautiful Squaw Valley Ski Resort in Olympic Valley, Calif.
