Check out this new website Groupon – it’s a fun, new way to save money on a lot of the cool places in the Milwaukee area.

Here’s how it works – every day a new deal is featured at an unbeatable price! You only get this deal if enough people join in that day (so tell your friends).

It’s called “collective buying power”.

I’ve tried it and it’s easy and the deals are very good!

I was digging around online the other day trying to figure out who can fix the potholes in our neighborhood – because they are BAD in some parts of Bay View.

I went to the city of Milwaukee’s Department of Public Works website to report the potholes and this was on that page:

Our goal is to repair potholes within three days of finding them or hearing about them. Emergency situations are investigated immediately.

And guess what…I reported the potholes and less than 2 days later they were fixed! If you’re sick of your potholes, I’d recommend reporting them here (especially with their goal of fixing it in 3 days).

I have sources telling me that Kathy Griffin will open this years Pridefest on June 11th on the Summerfest grounds.   This is her second time playing Milwaukee Pridefest.  When I talked to her backstage in 2007 she told me she had never played an outside venue that accommodated so many people.  She was super impressed with Milwaukee.  It sounds like official word with ticket information will come from Pridefest on Wednesday.    You can find out more here.

Twitter friend of the show, JR Stone who is a reporter from WKMG Orlando, is covering the Tiger Woods press conference and here’s a look inside the room where it will all go down.

I understand that Tiger Woods is a public figure, so it’s in his best interest for his image to speak publicly to his fans and his haters about the “transgressions”.

But, I could really care less if he apologizes “to me” or not, because he didn’t do this to me, he did this to his family.

Sure we make fun of the situation on the air and sadly enough it’s more because we all somewhere in our souls enjoy seeing successful people admit their faults. But whether or not I accept Tiger’s apology does not in anyway shape or form change what happens in his future.

Cheating or not, that doesn’t change how good he is at golf and how good he’ll probably continue to be at that sport. He’ll go on to make his millions and he’ll just become another powerful man who cheated on his wife and continued with his successful career.

If you’re not happy, maybe you should move to Boulder, Co which has taken the # 1 spot for Happiest City in America.   Check out the other happy places here in this USA Today report.  BTW, Milwaukee is #78.

Say what you want about Tiger…the guy is still making a ton of money and doing just fine.

He may be at the lowest place possible when it comes to his personal life . But, he is at the highest when it come to his professional life.   Forbes Magazine has him in their “Fab 40″ as the top sports brand by an athlete with a value estimated at $82 Million.

From Reuters:

His total was larger than that of the next five athletes combined, according to Forbes. Soccer star David Beckham ($20 million), tennis player Roger Federer ($16 million), NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. ($14 million) and National Basketball Association stars LeBron James and Kobe Bryant ($13 million and $12 million, respectively) rounded out the top six.

Our Groundhog “Wyinter” is expected to make her prediction at 10:30 today at the Milwaukee County Zoo. The weather forecasters are saying it will be cloudy today and she probably will not see her shadow, which means we will not have an extra 6 weeks of winter.  YEAH!!!!

SHE KICKED HIM OUT! Wouldn’t you? Creepy Mc Creeperson (John Edwards) and wife Elizabeth Edwards have called it quits.

From ABC News:

“a source close to Elizabeth Edwards told ABC News that she and John are now legally separated. Under North Carolina law they can’t get divorced until at least a year later. John Edwards is no longer living at their home in Chapel Hill, ABC News has learned.”

Do you “stand by your man” or do you move on? I have friend who works for FOX NEWS down in North Carolina and says their house (estate) is beautiful. Good luck Elizabeth and stay healthy!
