Chipping Sparrows are the new Scott Walker - BULLY

Posted on 7:50 AM by Unknown
Elwood was over this weekend and we were standing on top of the snow in the backyard discussing this summers projects.  Milo our cat was outside and he had positioned himself next the to birch trees and was "blending in" just a few yards from the bird feeder.  Every 20 minutes or so a flock of Chipping Sparrows would gather on a tree and they would slowly move forward until they were all massing under the bird feeder!   OH - Milo was...

I'm very proud of the Democrats in the Assembly

Posted on 7:09 AM by Unknown
Parliamentary procedure is the body of rules, ethics, and customs governing meetings and other operations of clubs, organizations, legislative bodies, and other deliberative assemblies.The question I have is if a body can just toss out the rules . . . . why even have Parliamentary procedure.I'm not a big fan of Parliamentary procedure in the first place. Oh I see it's function in government and larger organizations but it is completely counter productive in small local groups!  It's a huge time waster and all it does is make people think they...

Walker announces he must sell the Green Bay Packers

Posted on 7:28 AM by Unknown
In a secretly taped phone conversation with who Governor "The Cheesehead Pharaoh" Walker THOUGHT was his wife it was discovered what his newest plan is. " . . . and unless those liberal socialist Public Servants refuse to listen to reason I will be forced to sell The Green Bay Packers to whomever wants them in order to save the State from financial ruin, and, or bankruptcy". "Since the Packers are ruled by outdated socialized public ownership in an obscure city up north  I feel there will not really be any attempt to stop me".  He feels...

Scary

Posted on 6:48 PM by Unknown
A slightly disjointed blog but . . .  I have spent most of my life being cynical about crazy theory's because normally they ARE crazy. Both right AND left are full of craziness so when these thoughts started to pop into my head a few weeks ago it sort of surprised me at how strong these ideas were taking hold. I started to do a little more research to see if I was just going a little senile . . . but . . . . . on with the blog. WELL - now...

Survivor - hands down best Tribal Counsel ever - that is all I'm going to say as I know some people have not seen it yet.  -------------------------------------------Not going to talk about what is happening in Madison - we all know it - it's all over National news now - front page in the  USA Today, MSNBC has turned into 24/7 Madison, FOX has turned into 24/7 Madison (saying the protesters are carry guns - can you believe that?).

Must Be Careful

Posted on 7:23 AM by Unknown
So here is the thing! I'm not going to go on and on about the Cheesehead Pharaoh since he is my boss. Nuff said.As was pointed out in a comment and something we here in the Deptment of Health know about is that little thing in the Bill that states. the Governor has the power to implement changes to the state’s medical assistance programs without going through the legislative process. Changes would only require a “passive review” by the Joint Committee...

OH - It's War!

Posted on 8:14 AM by Unknown
Unless you live in a cave OR with my mom you have all head about how Governor Walker has waged war on public servants! ow before I go any further (farther?) let me warn you that I'm not a big Walker fan. The last time I called Walker a MORON I had 2 people cancel their subscriptions to the blog (good riddance). And as DJ has found out there are people that still think he is their God and can do no wrong. After all, it IS all our fault that Wisconsin is in this big pickle. On a side note for anybody wondering - there will be NO furloughs days...

Never a Doubt

Posted on 7:35 AM by Unknown
I don't know WHAT you guys were worried about! What I have not heard anyone mentioned is that the Packers played the most amount of games a team can play in a season and NEVER were behind by more then 7 points. There might have been better Packer teams in history (1996 they were dominating) but never to be behind? WOW. The worst Super Bowl experience had to be Christina Aguilera - OOPS Geez - "What so proudly we watched at the twilight's last...

Search Continues for Jimmy the Stick

Posted on 7:30 AM by Unknown
15 to 18 years ago or less it was decided that a stick was as aware of his shadow as a groundhog. Thus, Jimmy the Stick was put into action and for 15 to 18 (or less) straight years Jimmy has been forecasting the coming of spring.He has almost been held by the Madison Air National Guard (they turned down the invitation at the last second and got haircuts instead) and has been to Las Vegas (where he was forgotten about and stayed in the trunk the...
