How's that New Year's weight loss resolution going for you? The
overly common premise of television commercials this time of year
contains the typically chubby American scrambling to the nearest
Bally's with hope of banishing that flabby physique. While these
advertisements can be a source of motivation for individuals with a
slowing metabolism and sedentary lifestyle, the unequally
distributed and improperly focused television ads for weight loss
are vastly ineffective, and bordering on sexist.

Take a cursory glance at the health news on any given day and
you'll start seeing reoccuring buzzwords pop up again and again.
Antioxidants, in particular, are a popular choice. In my mind, a
typical viewer would likely make note these findings: \Oh, coffee
has antioxidants? Sweet! And blueberries, too? That's friggin'
awesome!"" The news item proceeds to replicate in their head like a
virus. During their next trip to the grocery store, these consumers
may be stricken by a need to pick up said products.

Consider these facts: Your grandmother is 90 years old and lives
in New Jersey (where she's lived her whole life and where your
parents grew up). Her reasonably good health is shattered when she
is felled by a stroke. She has become incompetent and needs to
enter a nursing home. The homes near her are not well-regarded,
plus, your parents, who now live in Wisconsin, would like her to
live closer to them (and to you). Your parents can get her into a
top-notch nursing home near their home in Madison. And, thanks to a
lifetime of saving and long-term care insurance, your grandmother
can pay whatever it costs. That's the good news.

As the gates open on round two of the Taxpayers' Bill of Rights
debate, it has become increasingly in vogue for TABOR proponents to
use Colorado, the native soil of both TABOR and myself, as an
exhibit of TABOR's success and popularity. TABOR is an initiative
that is designed to strictly cap state revenue through the
adaptation of a constitutional amendment. In 1992, Colorado became,
and has since remained, the only state in the union to put TABOR
into law. Leading the TABOR charge at home is state Rep. Frank
Lasee, R-Green Bay.

Although the Audrey Seiler saga ended months ago, Connie and
Fish from Z104 are dredging it up once again as a way of
advertising for their show. They have created three billboards
depicting themselves in a marshy area with the caption: \This has
NOTHING to do with Audrey,"" ""Depressed?"" and ""Boyfriend not
noticing you?"" In tahe first billboard the hosts' mouths are duct
taped while Fish holds a flashlight, in the second they are tied
together with rope and in the last they are peeking out from behind
some brush.

It is not unusual for television and movies to portray homeless
people as mentally ill, fostering a stereotype that all homeless
suffer from psychological illnesses.

Mental health problems are a widespread concern in today's
stressful society. However, at UW-Madison, officials work hard to
minimize occurrences of more serious mental health-related
incidents. Prescription drugs, counseling and administrative
actions are the three primary methods the university uses to
actively engage students who are experiencing one or more of a
myriad of challenges to mental health.

Well, it's Election Day. Too bad Wisconsin is one of those
oh-so-important swing states, or you could really have some fun
with the write-in spot. Sure they all have their pros and cons, but
just look at all these candidates from the sports world you could
pencil in. Hell, they have as good a chance as Ralph Nader.

Abortion: the one topic that appears to have no compromises. A
seemingly unbridgeable gap stands between those desiring that
everything be permitted and those wishing that any form of abortion
be abolished. Roe v. Wade was decided 30 years ago when medicine
could say very little about the state of the fetus in the months
leading up to birth; this is no longer true. The scientific
discoveries since 1973 necessitate a rethinking of abortion.

I remember reading \The Scarlet Letter"" for the first time in
high school and thinking how unfair the whole story was. Why was
the woman punished for becoming pregnant while her partner, who
remaining secret, was punished by only his conscience? Literature
often reflects life, and unfortunately it is often the women who
are punished and ostracized for sexual activities, while their male
partners deny responsibility.
