Behold the only state in the contiguous 48 to look like this: It’s enough to make a girl homesick. See the full U.S. map here. BTW – Alaska pretty much looked like that, too. — That’s it from me for a couple of days. I’m going to go trim my fingernails (to aid in typing) [...]

Well, it looks pretty much like it’s over
November 4th, 2008 · No Comments
Believe it or not, an enormous amount of traffic to this site is asking the question, “what happens if neither candidate gets to 270?” We all know that means Obama wins given the current Congressional makeup. But it looks like Obama will be winning anyway. Am I desperate? No. I’ve been on the back end [...]

You know, just to be sure. Kenyan’s are sacrificing goats to help Obama win reports Fox News. Ah, the thrill of America’s anticipated international presence.

A Brookfield polling update
November 4th, 2008 · 25 Comments

You can say pretty much anything you want here, as long as you keep to our family friendly PG rating. I can’t promise to post, but then I may post every 10 minutes…in other words, I’m a little uncertain about today. One thing’s for sure; it’s time for coffee. (And I have to clean the [...]

Tony Rezko and Brookfield Mayor Jeff Speaker have something in common
November 3rd, 2008 · No Comments
The Milwaukee Department of Neighborhood Services reports no changes on the status of Jeff Speaker’s multiple violations in housing. No permits, no abatements, nothing. Both are disgusting situations. This video shows broken windows. Speaker’s complex has broken windows. This video shows cold children. Anyone want to make a bet or two? Broken windows are a [...]

Are Obama supporters starting to prepare for defeat?
November 3rd, 2008 · 6 Comments
There’s an odd pre-concession posted at Uppity Wisconsin. Now, although I don’t think it is the end of the world if McCain wins, because as he pointed out he isn’t Bush… Just a couple of days ago the same site was offering “extreme” evidence against Sarah Palin.
