Mil JS has more coverage of the new Marquette president Fr.

Catholic and former governor of Wisconsin Tommy Thompson announced he's running for State Senator.  He can win, but at what cost?  He is neither a social conservative or a fiscal conservative.  Wisconsin can do better than that.  Thompson is former president of La Crosse, WI based Logistics Health Inc, which has since been purchased by OptumHealth.

A nice pro-life op-ed in the Wausau Daily Herald.
