The family of Brittany Zimmermann is suing Dane County and the 911 Operator who handled a call from Zimmermann's cell phone the afternoon she was murdered.
The 21-year-old UW-Madison junior was found April 2 by her fiance slain in the West Doty Street apartment they shared. The federal lawsuit dated Thursday alleges "under-trained operator Ri...
Normally I'd say polls shmolls...well, I wouldn't really say anything that lame, though the sentiment fits...but it's interesting that Obama holds a double-digit lead over McCain in Wisconsin, considered a "battleground" state in November.
The inaugural poll by the UW-Madison Department of Political Science/WisPolitics.com--taken immediately a...
Madison police busted a burglary ring connected to a crack house on Greenway View.
They also released a barrage of charming photos. Ever wonder what crackheads keep in the icebox? Tater tots apparently. The photos are enough to scare any kid straight.
The dealers were allegedly accepting large flat screen TVs in exchange for crack cocai...
At last, indeed.
Mainly because I can't take any more of the expert pundit panels endlessly picking apart the lifeless Clinton campaign's hypothetical next move on 24-hour cable news. Consider the dead horse in this horse race good and beaten.
Side note. This is perhaps blasphemous coming from someone who aspires to be part of the news media...
Good news for wait-listed students.
There were a record 25,123 applicants who applied for the fall 2008 semester--12, 500 of which were initially admitted, just under half. By late May about 5,500 freshman had committed to UW-Madison. To achieve its target goal, the university will use the wait list.
The wait list was not used at all last ye...
The final acts slated for the Summerfest 2008 lineup were recently announced.
The event known as the "World's Largest Music Festival" kicks off June 26 in Milwaukee and wraps up on July 6. For your convenience (and because I'm nice like that) I sifted through the tediously slow (at the moment at least) site and below are some of the acts rocki...
A beautiful shot of the Madison isthmus.
Some nice press for Madison following media scrutiny over three unsolved murders over the past year is a welcome change. And we are just so freakin' friendly here in Wisconsin's capitol city. Madison was named one of "The 5 friendliest cities in America" by Tod...
The DNC Rules & Bylaws Committee meets in Washington, D.C. Saturday.
As a nerd who's been watching the at times contentious but mostly cordial debate most of the morning, and right now actually, my guess is that half-votes will be granted to the Florida delegates.
Florida Sen. Bill Nelson made the case to seat the delegates and ...
If you see a tuxedo-shirt-wearing dude cruising past you on a tiny scooter, cut the guy some slack.
It's the uniform of Bender Defenders drivers, who transport the inebriated masses and their cars home to help squiffy bar patrons avoid drunk driving, and having to leave their vehicle behind. The foolish attire makes it easier to recognize them...
Here's Blame Society's take on the ubiquitous retail/grocery store chain training video. Chad Vader--Darth's bumbling brother--explains the proper way to deal with spies in the produce section. Don't you hate that? It's the latest video from Madison-based filmmakers Matt Sloan and Aaron Yonda, who launched their highly successful Chad Vader s...
