Charlie’s Show Prep #55
by Sean Hackbarth
- Getting an Abbott Labs facility would beef up Wisconsin’s biotech sector and help Gov. Doyle politically by showing this isn’t such a bad state for business.
- In the short term, the breakdown in NFL labor talks could mean free agency buying opportunities for the Packers. However, if no deal is reached and the salary cap is nixed the players union has said they will never agree to go back to one. That would put the Packers at a serious disadvantage.
- A monster in Washington County got 20 years for raping a 5-year old. Brian Homz did it to get back at the girl’s mother.
- Spivak & Bice take some cheap shots at J.J. Blonien. The two literalists can’t understand hyperbole. The also pulled out some quotes from his columns that are pointed but hardly radical. But why is Blonien helping a judicial candidate who is described by S&B as “a political moderate with liberal leanings on social issues?”
- President Bush made a surprise visit to Afghanistan.
- Yesterday, I passed on that 1300 people died from Iraqi sectarian violence. Silly me, I trusted the MSM.
UPDATE: The great Dick Bennett will retire from college coaching after this season.
Nice work. Now, for God’s sake, go to bed.
