Eggroll

Filed under Food

With its funky Asian flavors and crunchy vegetables surrounded by a crispy skin eggrolls make for good eating. Just don’t do it while in front of your keyboard. After every bite you need a pile of napkins to wipe the grease off your fingers, and you have to make sure no morsels fall into the […]

March Madness Continues

Filed under Sports

Another night of tournament games meant further destruction of my brackets. Cross Duke off my final four list. Did they get stuffed by a young, hungry LSU team. The two later games offered adrenaline rushes. Texas walks off the court with a game-winning three-pointer after West Virginia tied it. Then Gonzaga collapses and hands UCLA […]

On High Altert

Filed under Wisconsin

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT get between Sen. Russ Feingold and a reporter. Think “Hulk smash!” if you do, and that’s from either direction.
I’m just warning you.
“Alert Level Raised to HIGH“

Charlie’s Show Prep #64

Filed under Wisconsin

President Bush found Abdul Rahman’s possible death sentence “deeply troubling,” and will use American influence “to remind [Afghanistan] that there are universal values.”
When people like Robert Samuelson, far from being a firebrand conservative, opposes a guest worker program it will be very tough for the President to get it through Congress.

RNC Ad Spanked

Filed under Wisconsin

FactCheck.org slaps the RNC for its Sen. Russ Feingold-bashing ad. Emi Kolawole writes,
[Feingold’s] resolution would censure Bush for the way in which he ordered wiretaps, not for the wiretaps themselves. It would condemn him for “unlawful authorization of wiretaps of Americans within the United States without obtaining the court orders required ” (emphasis added), and […]

The Bile Toward Ben Domenech

Filed under Weblogging

A few people don’t like Ben Domenech writing a conservative weblog for The Washington Post. Instead of ignoring him or actually challenging his ideas some decide to play quote-pulling (some from as far back as 4 1/2 years ago), insult him (and all others like him) for being home schooled, and call him an idiot […]

Pork Bus

Filed under Politics

American for Prosperity (AFP) will announce tomorrow a nationwide bus tour to expose pork barrel spending. “The Ending Earmarks Express” will “roll out of Washington, DC, on April 7 and visit the sites of some of the nation’s most egregious and wasteful earmarks. Our inaugural swing in early April is largely scheduled, but we’re planning […]

Charlie’s Show Prep #63

Filed under Wisconsin

President Bush called Sen. Feingold’s censure idea “needless partisanship.” Russ loves this attention along with (bad) RNC radio ads. He says Republicans “have something to hide.” The grandstander really likes them because it keeps on generating free media for himself brings in money to his PAC. Yes, Sen. Campaign Finance has a political action committee.

Lousy Anti-Feingold Ad

Filed under Wisconsin

It’s great the RNC is running radio ads against Sen. Russ Feingold. He deserves all the ridicule he gets. However, the ad is awful. With slightly scary music in the background a voice monotonously tells us Feingold and the Democrats are weak on fighting terrorism. Big time snoozer. I fell asleep half-way through it. It […]

President of the Kosites

Filed under Wisconsin

Congratulations to Sen. Russ Feingold. He’s the far Left’s choice for President beating Wesley Clark and whupping Sen. Hillary Clinton. Glee fills Bill Christofferson:
Russ Feingold is President of Daily Kos blog by a wide margin. Not a representative sample, by any means, but not a bad place to start for someone who’s willing to run […]

Packers May Nab Top Kicker

Filed under Sports

The New England Patriots and the Green Bay Packers are both in the running for clutch kicker extrodinaire Adam Vinatieri. What doesn’t make sense is if he goes to the Packers they’ll end up paying more for him than the Minnesota Vikings paid to snatch Ryan Longwell. Vinatieri in a Packers uniform would be great, […]

Rich Liberal Raises NJ Taxes

Filed under Politics

It must be nice to be rich like New Jersey governor Jon Corzine. That way you can raise taxes to compensate for runaway state spending while not feeling the pain those taxes put on less-prosperous citizens.
There’s a reason liberals are called “tax and spenders.” It’s because they are.

Weblog Addiction Syndrome

Filed under Weblogging

Business Week’s Stephen Baker joins me and thousands of others and admits their problem. We’re addicted to weblogging. While Washington Post reporters wonders if they should be paid extra to post (and wonder if the newspaper can “compel employees to blog”) Baker would do it for free.
“Should Mainstream Bloggers Be Paid Extra? Should I?”
