Milwaukee Ranked #7 in Overextended Sports Markets

The Business Journal:

The study by American City Business Journals, parent of the The Business Journal Serving Greater Milwaukee, looked at 179 U.S. markets and analyzed the amount of personal income each region generates, among other factors, to measure the region’s adequacy for its current professional teams and any possible new ones in baseball, football, basketball, hockey and soccer.

Milwaukee’s total personal income of $75.7 billion, according to the report, is insufficient to support the addition of any more professional teams.

Political Observations From Michael Powell

via David Isenberg:

The Washington DC political process is more broken now than at any other time I’ve seen in my life. It has collapsed in on itself. I went home and asked my father [Colin Powell] if I was missing something, and he agreed with me that the process has collapsed into pure partisanship. The power of the incumbency has grown. People are not concerned with what’s right or what’s in the nations interest, they are purely interested in killing their opponents.
