Milton Friedman: “Keep your eye on one thing and one thing only: how much government is spending, because that’s the true tax.”
“If you’re not paying for it in the form of explicit taxes, you’re paying for it indirectly in the form of inflation or borrowing.”
I was a head coach for 20 years.
We won a lot of games.
But I'll tell you exactly what made our state tournament teams different.

Political policy choices aside, I don't want a president who thinks it's okay to mock people with dyslexia and call them dumb. Very much on the wrong side of this one! Embarrassing!!
When I watch basketball, and I’m informally and unconsciously evaluating a player, regardless of talent or skill (which are obviously paramount), here are the 10 questions I ask myself:
Does he play hard
Does he have a good attitude
Is he a good teammate
Does he listen to his coach
Does he know his role
Is he having fun
Does he know what he can/can’t do
Does he do the little things
Does he complain to the officials
Is he about ‘me’ (stats) or ‘we’ (winning)
You know what?
These are the same 10 questions I would ask myself if I was looking to hire someone in the corporate world!
It’s been my experience that what’s true in basketball is most often true in business!
The #Badgers have done 42 pushups at the end of every practice this spring, a nod to the 42-10 loss to Iowa last season.
When asked why that loss stood out among the three rivalry losses, Darryl Peterson responded:
“When have you ever heard of Iowa scoring 42 points, ever?”

For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

@GaryDolphin Thanks for the AWESOME birthday message on Cameo. My buddies might not have mentioned that I'm Big Jack Dotzler (@jack_dotzler)'s uncle! I'm a huge Hawk fan, and your message made my day!
On Iowa! Go Hawks!
@WoodsCory#Dubin
@stoolpresidente This is the right choice. Go Hawks! Still waiting for that Iocano's (best pizza in Dublin) review to drop.
Also, I failed to compliment the Plank's shirt (best pizza in Central Ohio)!!
On this day in 1945, U.S. Marines storm the island of Iwo Jima. The five-week campaign that follows will see some of the heaviest fighting of the Pacific War. Some 6,800 Americans will be killed in action along with 18,000 Japanese.
