Show Notes
A couple of weird political stories both out of Wisconsin and nationally, as UW-La Crosse political science professor, Dr. Anthony Chergosky, joins in studio. The first of those is Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Rebecca Bradley battling with others on updating her Wikipedia page. She's, apparently, trying to keep controversial things she's said in the past off that page. Also, with the Republican presidential debate coming up in Milwaukee on Wednesday, we talk about some of the leaked strategies the nominees are looking to use on stage, including some very strange ones from Ron DeSantis. Also, back to the state Supreme Court, we chat about Republicans already floating impeachment of Justice Janet Protasiewicz, the same month she began her term, after being elected last April. In between there, we took a break from politics — sort of — to chat about what if a "regular Joe" took part in each Olympic event, as that seemed to happen in a 100-meter race at the World University Games.
