Walker’s e-mail list has some value

Todd BerryPresident -- Wisconsin

Taxpayers Alliance

Matt Pommer

Gov. Scott Walker got “Trumped” in Iowa this summer as he sought the Re-publican presidential nomination. But his efforts may yet play a role in Iowa politics.

The governor seemed to have done everything politically correct. Walker had developed detailed position papers on several issues. His campaign hired staffers to identify Republicans who would support him at the Iowa nominat-ing caucuses. By early summer the work was paying off; he was high in some pub-lic opinion polls.

His Iowa work and efforts from his three gubernatorial elections had pro-vided an e-mail list of about 675,000 names of likely supporters and donors. Then Donald Trump seized the national Republican stage, and all of Walker’s strategy was washed away. Support and donations to Walker’s campaign dried up. In mid-September Walker dropped out of the presidential campaign.

Other Republican candidates are in-terested in such ready-made e-mail lists because they provide an opportunity to quickly fi nd new supporters and dona-tions, experts told the Politico online news organization. Walker’s organiza-tion offered the list for $10,500, Politico said.

But the posted price probably doesn’t mean much because revenue sharing between the “dropped-out” candidate and the “continuing” candidate often happens, Politico explained. While politi-cians are well-aware of the arrangement, the general public is mostly unaware that owners of political email lists and those who would rent them often share in the receipts. Some of the money collected through appeals also goes to the consul-tants who manage the lists. But citizens who respond to e-mail pleas for campaign

cash probably never learn about the split between politicians or how much is going to the consultants.

“The e-mail list market is kind of the Wild West,” said Stephen Meyers, the owner of Granite Lists, which manages Walker’s list. “There’s a lot of wheeling and dealing. There’s not established com-missions and margins.”

The Granite Lists price sheet said revenue sharing for the Walker list is available. “When you need to raise online money fast, this list is the way to go,” a promotion for the Walker price list touts. Meyers refused to discuss specifi cs of the Walker account, saying only “there’s been a lot of interest.”

In mid-December, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who also is running for the GOP presidential nomination, began en-couraging donations via the Walker e-mail list to help pay off the gov-ernor’s campaign debt. Cruz would benefit if he could attract early Walker backers — and if a Walker-Cruz rev-enue share was part of

the deal. Walker has said Cruz was the only former opponent sending out such e-mails.

Kurt Luidhardt, who operates the Mustard Seed Media list rental business, said revenue sharing is “the most com-mon pricing model” in the current politi-cal marketplace. His fi rm has been used by Cruz and Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla.

“On the presidential level, I would say (the revenue share split is) probably 75, 80 percent — maybe,” Luidhardt told Politico.

agreements is 50-50 but more popular candidates like Cruz usually get a better split because they are likely to lure more donors than lesser-known candidates. Experts said revenue sharing is far more common among Republicans than among Democrats.

Part of Walker’s campaign debts in-clude reimbursing the state of Wisconsin for things like security when he was campaigning around the country. The governor has already paid the state more than $67,000 on that debt.

Mark Stephenson, who was the top data offi cer in Walker’s campaign, said the basic rule in building donor and sup-porter email lists is the size.

“The bigger the list you have, the bet-ter off you are in the end,” he said. He said the average donor will give nearly $70 during the course of a campaign.

A few gift ideas for public offi cialsPage 2 - Tribune Record Gleaner - Wednesday, December 30, 2015 OPINION

On “slow” news days during this time of year, journalists sometimes resort to suggesting tongue-in-cheek gifts for pub-lic offi cials. Here, the practice is turned on its ear, and state politicians are offered simple gift-giving ideas.

-- Safeguarding the process: The fi rst two gifts relate to lawmaking. In recent de-cades, legislative majorities regardless of party have occasionally rammed through controversial legislation, including tax increases, in a day or two without a public hearing.

Requiring that every bill scheduled for fl oor action have at least two hours of hear-ings followed by a one-week waiting period would help mitigate such lawmaking mis-chief. This practice could be even more valuable when the legislature’s Joint Com-mittee on Finance is fi nalizing the state budget. JCF could be required to observe a three-day period between introduction of amendments and fi nal committee approval of the budget.

-- Increasing access: Two additional gifts touch on access to elected offi cials, long in decline in both Washington and Madison. The days of regular press conferences open to all questions are largely past. This and succeeding governors could reverse the trend by creating a new tradition: a fi rst-Wednesday-of-the-month Capitol press conference.

In a twist on British tradition, the two houses of the legislature could each host the governor for a similar mid-year, 90-min-ute “Question Time.” A month in advance, members would submit questions to bipar-tisan leadership that would then select up

Forest group supports MFL changes

to 10 questions and forward them to the governor. At Question Time, inquiries would be selected in random order and answered by the governor.

-- Encouraging dia-logue: Three more gifts address growing incivility, partisan polarization and per-sonal attack in state politics. This divi-sion is represented in how lawmakers are seated, all caucus members together, one party on the right, one on the left. To make matters worse, party leaders are said to discourage social contact with colleagues across the aisle.

A small, symbolic change would mix Democrats and Republicans on the fl oor. Whether seating is by random assignment, district, geography, or name, this would promote sociability and cooperation. The same approach could be extended to Capitol offi ce assignments where party segregation also occurs. An added benefi t would be cost savings from reducing bien-nial offi ce moves.

In a similar spirit, the senior state sena-tor in each Congressional district could host a semi-annual brown-bag or potluck lunch for all senators and representatives in the region. With an average of about 17 state legislators per U.S. House district, meetings would be small enough to pro-mote dialogue and understanding.

-- Promoting fi scal health: So far, these gifts could be delivered tomorrow. A more ambitious one recognizes that both par-ties have compromised state fi scal health by enacting budgets without the adequate reserves needed to protect Wisconsin from

A bill to enact changes in Wisconsin’s Managed Forest Law is now before both houses of the legislature, with preliminary hearings held on Dec. 8 in Madison (AB 561) and Dec. 9 in Antigo (SB 434). This bill repeals some clauses, amends others, and creates new stipulations for the MFL.

After reviewing the proposed changes, the Wisconsin Alliance of Forest Owners supports the following amendments:

-- Eliminating the ban on leasing land enrolled in MFL for hunting or other rec-reational purposes.

-- Elimination of the 5 percent yield tax MFL enrollees currently pay on timber harvests.

-- Directing all fees on “closed” MFL

lands to local governments. Currently, these fees are transferred to the state’s forestry account.

-- Limiting the MFL early withdrawal penalty to land enrolled for 10 years or less.

-- Allowing landowners to sell any part of a parcel of land enrolled in MFL. Cur-rently only entire parcels are allowed to be sold.

-- Allowing the addition of contiguous parcels of three acres or more to an exist-ing MFL parcel.

-- Allowing the withdrawal of land from MFL, without penalty, when it has been damaged by natural disasters.

-- Eliminating the 160-acre limit for “closed” land.

-- Allowing the renewal of an MFL agreement without having to develop (and pay for) a new management plan.

-- Language which clarifi es that an MFL agreement is a contract between the state and a landowner.

The Wisconsin Alliance of Forest Owners is a grassroots landowner orga-nization committed to working for fair tax treatment of Wisconsin’s privately-owned forest lands, and to rectifying unfair, im-practical and onerous provisions of the current Managed Forest Law.

Last week it was the TRG’s early copy deadline. This week I’m setting my own early deadline. If all goes well, by the time you are reading this we should be somewhere deep in the heart of Texas. We’ll be heading for Port Aransas, our winter destination for the 19th time.

It is hard to believe that as I write this on Dec. 23, it is pouring rain. This will certainly go down in the record book as very unusual. I was hoping for some mild weather before we left, but this is beyond anything I had hoped for.

After spending a beautiful December Saturday driving to Holmen to spend the day with our daughter, Sue, and her husband, Mark, I decided that from now on she can do all our trip planning during the winter months. As everyone knows, in this country, any travel from the fi rst of November to the fi rst of April is al-ways in doubt, depending on the weather.

First Sue picked the third Sunday in November for us to get together with her and our grandson, John, in Madison. It turned out to be a grand day.

Then came last Saturday. After what seemed like weeks of gray cloudy skies, we have a clear morning. After a very light dusting of snow overnight, it was a great day to be out. I drove to Colby to pick up our daughter, Shelly, to ride along. When I got home, I was trying to explain to Florence how nice it was, even though the temperature was in the single digits. I told her I wanted to write a song and was going to call it, “Oh, What a Morning”.

She told me, you can’t do that because someone has already written one. Not that I would doubt her or anything, but I did look it up on the Internet. Sure enough. In 2012, the Alabama School of Gospel Music sang that very song to end their program.

Then we have another, “O What A Beautiful Morning”, which is credited to Glenn Miller and his U.S. Army Band in 1943-44. I just can’t win, but was even more pleased to know the beautiful sunny morning with the sun shining on a very light layer of snow would be preserved for us living north of Neillsville. That is where we ran out of the snow and back to brown fi elds.

Someone asked me this morning if I could ever remember a winter start-ing like this. Not in my recollection, I said, but the weatherman did tell us the other night that the winter of 1943-44 had started out with a brown Christmas.

I don’t remember too much about it, but I do recall there really wasn’t much

snow at Christmas time. Our farm was at the end of a dead end road and getting all the way to the house and barn was an impossible task when the snow drifted in. So we would leave our car parked out at the end of our garden and walk in.

Most of the cows were dry at the time, so getting the milk out for the milk hauler was no problem. Two cans fi t well on our sled which we would pull through the snow to the high spot where we parked our car.

That winter in late December, we could still drive all the way in. It was a winter I will always remember, as my brother, Ernest, was killed at the U.S. Army Arsenal in Pine Bluff, Ark. That resulted in lots of friends, neighbors and relatives visiting before, during and after the funeral. And as I recall it was an easy job walking from the church to the cemetery the day of the funeral, which was on Dec. 28.

With a new year ahead, I wonder what will face us? In April we’ll be voting at the spring elections for all our school and county board members along with city council and village boards.

In August, many of us will be sitting and watching the 2016 Olympics from Rio de Janeiro. That should be interesting as there shouldn’t be much difference in time zones. The network carrying the games won’t have to carry the program on fi lm while giving us the impression it is live.

Of course next year will also be an election year as we have already been told time and time again. Right now I’m hold-ing my breath that we will get through it without a major confl ict breaking out somewhere. The political conventions will probably provide us with hostile times if the races continue as they are currently running.

It seems like all the candidates can do is tell us how they plan to bomb, kill, and do away with the “so called” enemy, which in this day and age is just a little hard to defi ne. Don’t they understand peace cannot be bought with bullets?

There are some who seem to identify them by their religion, or the region of the country. The comments can do noth-ing more than fuel the fi re of hatred for the United States.

What concerns me more than any-thing is the lack of candidates acting presidential. You can’t tell me someone acting like a six-year-old bully, or brat, can suddenly change into a kind person ready to lead our nation.

unavoidable recessions. In the past, when the economy has dipped, defi cits, tax hikes, and spending cuts have been the unnecessary result.

Given the inability of elected offi cials to follow statutes meant to prevent such problems, it appears that responsible budgeting can only be achieved by constitutional amendment. One approach, adapted from Iowa, would allow Wisconsin to spend only 97 percent of estimated biennial revenues. If the legislature passed the amendment in 2016 and again in 2017, and voters quickly approved, it could be law before the next gubernatorial election.

Final wordsSo, there you have it: Seven little gifts from politicians to the people, none controver-

sial, that could be implemented quickly and in bipartisan fashion. With these in place, state leaders could work to gain approval of the eighth, a long overdue plan to promote state fi scal responsibility before 2018.

PAID OBITUARY 52-177204

Arthur Hoff manArthur H. Hoffman, 88, Weston, formerly of Loyal,

passed away on Wednesday, Dec. 16, 2015, at Aspirus Wausau Hospital. A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m., on Wednesday, Dec. 30, at Trinity Lutheran Church in Loyal. Rev.

After his discharge from the service on Aug. 23, 1952, he returned to Loyal and worked on the family farm until taking it over in 1955. He and his brother, Walt, owned and operated the farm until 1989, at which time they sold the farm and moved into Loyal.

Loyal needs overtime to subdue rival IndiansThere’s an old cliché

in sports about ignoring season records when two arch-rivals meet on the field of play, because a team with a lesser record will rise to the occasion to try to knock its nemesis off a loftier perch. It may be just an overused axiom, but it was proven to be true again on Dec. 22 when the Greenwood boys basket-ball team took Loyal into overtime.

Loyal came into the contest at 3-2 in the East-ern Cloverbelt Conference and fresh off an upset win over defending league champion Spencer, while Greenwood had struggled to an 0-6 overall season start. As is often said, those num-bers didn’t matter as Greenwood played the Greyhounds to a draw through regula-tion, only to see Loyal prevail 49-43 after the extra 4-minute session.

Greenwood had a chance to win in regulation, but Devin Toburen’s long toss at the basket as time expired was not to be a miraculous finish. Instead, Loyal regrouped in overtime, and hit eight of 14 free throws in the extra period to turn back a Greenwood team that kept the game close all night.

Loyal led 23-21 at the half, but Green-wood mounted a 16-6 run over the fi rst 12 minutes of the second half to pull to a 6-point lead. Toburen hit a pair of 3-point-ers in the span and added a basket on a back-door cut and assist from Cole Lucas. Decker Lindner’s score on a third-chance offensive rebound gave the Indians their biggest lead of the night, at 37-31, with 6:20 left in the game.

Riley Geiger got an of-fensive rebound basket to cut the lead back to four, and Jordan Radue’s hoop on a feed from Cameron Brussow trimmed it down to two with 4:34 to go. After a Geiger free throw, Toburen popped a pull-up jumper to put Greenwood on top 39-36 at the 2:58 mark, but those would prove to be the Indians’ last points of regulation.

Geiger hit another free throw to make it 39-37 with 2:39 to play, and then hit a pair of bonus free throws at 1:43 to tie it at 39-39. Af-ter Trevor Serocki missed a shot, Lindner grabbed

the rebound and Greenwood called a time out at 1:02. The Indians then passed the ball on the perimeter until taking another time-out with 11 seconds left to set up a fi nal play. That was thwarted when Geiger knocked the ball out of bounds with just a few ticks left on the game clock. Green-wood was able to in-bounds for Toburen’s long heave, but it was well off the mark.

Loyal scored fi rst in the overtime, on two Brussow free throws. Geiger added another free throw with 3:30 to go in the ex-tra session, and Derrick Howard’s break-away basket after a Loyal steal put the Greyhounds ahead 44-39 with 2:52 to go.

Toburen misfired on a 3-pointer on Greenwood’s next possession, and Howard tacked on a free throw with 1:29 to play. Lucas sank two free throws at the 1:10 mark to cut the Loyal lead to 45-41, but Brussow and Geiger played keep-away on the perimeter until the Indians were forced to foul. Geiger added a free throw with 38 seconds to go. He missed the sec-ond attempt and Sam Revier was fouled on the rebound, but he then missed his bonus throw. Howard was then fouled as he rebounded Revier’s miss, and he made 1-2 for a 47-41 Loyal lead with 35 seconds left. Marcus Genteman added another free throw at the 18-second mark. Serocki made a driving score to get it back to 48-43 with 12 ticks left, and Geiger’s free throw ended the scoring.

Free throws were a key to the win for Loyal. Greenwood was called for 21 fouls, while Loyal was whistled 14 times. The Greyhounds converted 19 of 31 free throws, while Greenwood was limited to four points on eight attempts.

DEAN LESAR/STAFF PHOTOGreenwood’s Aaron Lindner dribbles out from the corner against the defense of Loyal’s Marcus Genteman in the fi rst half of the Greyhounds’ 49-43 overtime win over the Indians on Dec. 22 in Greenwood. The win moved Loyal into the top half of the Eastern Cloverbelt Conference standings at the holiday break.

The Greyhounds shot 33 percent (14-43) from the fl oor, but connected on only two of 18 tries on 3-pointers.

Greenwood shot 39 percent (17-44) from the fl oor and connected on fi ve 3-pointers on 17 attempts.

Brussow and Geiger scored 18 points apiece for Loyal. Toburen paced Green-wood with 17 points and Serocki added 10.

Neillsville 72 Spencer 67Spencer gave up a 10-point halftime

lead at Neillsville on Dec. 22 and missed a chance to stay near the top of the ECC leader board. Shooting effi ciency was an issue for the Rockets.

After losing on its home court to Loyal in its previous ECC start, Spencer started well against the Warriors and led 33-23 at

the half. Neillsville’s offense came alive in the second half, and put up 49 points to take the win.

Spencer shot just 34 percent (22-64) from the fi eld, while Neillsville was more efficient at 48 percent (27-56). Spencer kept itself in the game at the free-throw line, hitting 17 of 21. Neillsville was 13-22 at the line.

Bobby Pilz led Spencer with 27 points, hitting 10 of his 12 free throws. Jonny Tomke had a 14-point, 8-rebound game for the Rockets, while Calvin Lenz added nine points and Ryan Busse contributed eight points and nine rebounds.

Michael Dux torched the Rocket de-fense for 32 points as he hit 12 of 23 fi eld-goal attempts. Jake Kunze added 16 points.

The Joe “2015”Hello friends,This is going to be one of those stories that has way more to tell then

I have space for. The Joe is a deer hunt and camp that is run by Kids And Mentors Outdoors (KAMO) each year and is held at the Mackenzie Environmental Education Center near Poynette.

I am the president of KAMO but of the many dozens of volunteers on this project, I am but a grain of sand on a beach.

Friday, Dec. 11 -- high 46, low 33Here is how this project works. Five of KAMO’s chapters are send-

ing either mentors, kids, volunteers for other work or all of the above.There are 22 pairs of kids and mentors of which 19 are on Learn to

Hunts and three have purchased tags in past years and therefore can only shoot a doe.

We hunt both the state game/pheasant farm at Poynette and several private properties (thank you once again to all private property own-ers/donors).

At fi rst, the kids who come from all over Wisconsin do not know each other. By noon of day two they are a pack. When they are not hunting they are playing outside or eating the incredible food cooked and served by Jeff and Patti Rouse and Marlene Shaw.

Marlene is Patti’s ma. I have known Marlene most of my life. This fall Marlene made a stocking hat for each kid in the hunt. This experience is all about giving of ones time and knowledge and as everyone is well aware that takes part in The Joe, we are very good at it.

I am hunting with 15-year-old Duncan Day who is from New Lisbon, has hunted deer other years but has never harvested a deer, in other words, Duncan cannot shoot a buck.

We are hunting on a beautiful piece of property owned by Eugene Vangen that is located in Columbia County near Otsego. Eugene raises beef and has known many of my family members over the years, so we have lots to talk about.

This afternoon Duncan and I did not see a deer but had high hopes for the morning hunt.

Jerry Absher of The Lake Wisconsin Chapter of KAMO (Poynette area) was mentoring James Amacher and James made a clean shot on

a young doe and thus we had our fi rst deer on the pole.Tonight, the kids go through a couple of classes on safety and biol-

ogy that were given by Columbia County conservation warden, Ryan Volenberg, and Columbia County wildlife biologist, Sarah Kehrli.

Saturday, Dec. 12 -- high 44, low 35Usually the kids are having snowball fi ghts at camp. This year there

is periods of rain, it is just cool enough for a deer to be hanging and very few hunters are getting cold on the hunt.

Today, Tom St. Claire was mentoring Connor Larson who is a buddy of Duncan’s and all three of these guys are from The Meadow Valley Chapter of KAMO (New Lisbon/Necedah). Like James, Connor made an excellent shot and we had our second deer which was another doe.

Duncan and I relocated on the Vangen farm to a large winter wheat fi eld and had two doe come out of the woods no more then eight yards from our blind on the last minute of legal hunting. A tree in the way saved one of their lives.

Tonight was a really cool night in camp. Every year on Saturday night it seems like the kids have too much free time. Greg Wagner of the Baraboo River chapter hosted an evening of bingo (just for the kids) with the winners of each game getting an excellent prize, such as a fi shing rod, a knife set and the fi nal game of the night Haaken Rosholt of Wisconsin Dells won a 243, which was donated by some very gener-ous people from the Poynette area.

The following morning, Duncan and I were in our blind and two doe came out and Duncan made an excellent shot at 104 yards.

Duncan learned how to do to the new online registration as well as dress his fi rst deer and that my friends is why we started KAMO.

I challenge anyone reading this to help start a new chapter, join an existing chapter or get a kid you know into KAMO. Check us out at www.kamokids.org

KAMO is way more than hunting and fi shing! Sunset

Who the heck knows what’ll happen next year?Will 2016 be the year the planet explodes

in a cataclysmic detonation of rock, biomass and Kardashians, or will it be the year that Donald Trump becomes president? More importantly, will we be able to tell the dif-ference?

Could it be, perhaps, that the year ahead will be the one during which global warm-ing becomes so severe that the polar ice caps will melt like a chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream cone in a 4-year-old's hands and Tom Hanks will be able to fi lm the sequel to "Castaway" in Nebraska?

Will this year fi nally be the one during which Queen Elizabeth dies, at last handing the crown of Great Britain to Prince Charles, who has been waiting for the throne seem-ingly longer than a guy who accidentally ate an Ex-Lax bar in a burrito joint with one restroom?

And, could I be so bold as to expect that whomever wins the Democratic nomination for president will seize on the cultural event of the millennium and choose Chewbacca as their running mate? And, could he be any creepier than Joe Biden?

Will the civil war in Syria fi nally end in 2016, or will Vladimir Putin prolong it to keep his public approval rating at 103 percent (or else)? If Syrian dictator Bashar Assad is fi nally removed from power, will he go qui-etly into the desert night, or will he become President Trump's Secretary of Th e Depart-ment of Immigrant Removal?

Staying with politics, if Hillary Clinton becomes the fi rst female president of the United States, will it be a giant step forward for women's equality in the professional world, or just a sales boost for peach-colored

pantsuits? In athletics, will the Summer Games in Rio

de Janeiro unite the globe in the splendor of human achievement, or will China publicly execute its women's high-platform diving team for only winning the gold medal by a thousand points?

Staying with sports, will Tiger Woods ever make a putt again, or will he just continue to date stunningly hot blonde superstar women and blame his game on back problems?

In music, is there an award Taylor Swift will not win in 2016? Will a secret tape of her singing to her cat go straight to #1 on the country-pop crossover charts? Will someone be able to tell me in the next 12 months if Fetty Wap is a musician, or something you spread on a cracker? Will Adele's album "25" sell a billion copies, or will they stop counting aft er 700 million? Will the Rolling Stones announce that Mick Jagger actually died in 1997, but has continued to play "live" concerts because he had enough uppers in his bloodstream to keep his lips moving? Should we move on to a new topic?

In the Middle East, will Benjamin Netanyahu agree to a 2-state solution with Palestine, or will he just continue to endlessly whine in United Nations speeches to which no one listens? Will Saudi Arabia continue to treat Yemen like a live explosives dumpster? Will Qatar just shut up and realize that nobody cares what it thinks? Will Turkey shoot down more of Putin's So-viet warplanes, or will it change its name to Chicken? (You know, you can really never go wrong with poultry jokes.

Back in America, will we continue to battle childhood obesity by broadcasting live cover-age of hot dog eating championships on ESPN?

Will we keep marijuana use in check by con-tinuing to insist that Cheech and Chong mov-ies were considered comedy? Will we teach a young generation about wholesome, conserva-tive values by giving courage awards to Caitlyn Jenner? Will we spend millions on anti-bullying programs, yet allow Donald Trump to use the power of the presidential campaign podium to treat other human beings like stinky dish rags?

Turning now to national security, in the next 12 months, will we decide to get serious about the threat posed by ISIS, or will Barack Obama continue to believe that 50 dudes dressed in night vision goggles who can breathe through straws while they swim through Helmand Province swamps are enough to defeat a deter-mined jihadist movement that is Hades-bent on making bacon out of us imperialist pigs? Do you think Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's mother will go on Live with Kelly and Michael and say, "He really is a good boy. Why don't you just leave him alone so he can execute the Sunnis?" And maybe, just maybe, is it possible that in 2016, ISIS will upload a message to its Facebook page and say, "Whoa, hey. Just ran out of suicide bombers. Anybody out there free this Sunday?"

I wonder, too, if Ted Cruz wins the White House, should we just hang a "Closed" sign on the country and head for Jamaica. Do you think he'd use my idea and go with "Cruz Control" bumper stickers for his cam-paign slogan? I mean, is that cool and clever, or what? And one more thing, before it votes, will America stop and ask itself, "Do we really wanna' presi-dent named Ted?" I mean, doesn't anybody remember what happened when we elected a Jimmy?

As another year ends, isn't it fun to guess who'll make the news in the coming months? I mean, a year ago, who ever heard of Walter Palmer (the tooth-puller who shot the famous lion) or Freddy Gray, or that county clerk in Kentucky who refused to grant marriage licenses to same-sex couples on the high moral grounds that led to her own three divorces? Tell me now, honestly, just a year ago, did you envision that gas would be $1.89 a gallon, or that Brian Williams would be cleaning the NBC men's rooms, or that the Taliban would be making a stronger comeback than Mike Huckabee (c'mon, man you're not gonna win. Just let it go)? Did anybody predict Trump-mania, or a Kansas City Royals-New York Mets World Series, or the United States and Iran agreeing on anything other than mutual hatred?

So, who knows, folks, what's next? Will an as-of-yet unknown meteor swoop out of the blackness of the distant galaxy this year and obliterate our sphere into a gazillion pieces of deep space dust, or will the Minnesota Vikings fi nally win a Super Bowl?

You know which one I'm hoping for.
