My TiVo didn’t talk very well with my cable box and failed to record the 24 season finale. I know it’s sort of wrong but if anyone knows of a bittorrent for it I will give you a virtual peck on the cheek (a full smooch if you’re female). Or else I just wait, buy […]
The National Hurricane Center predicts 15 hurricanes this season. How much do they stand behind their prediction? Let’s ask them how much money they want to bet. I’ll bet you it wouldn’t be much.
Then we have David Paulison, the guy temporarily running FEMA telling people, “We have to be able to take care of ourselves […]
The evil geniuses at Haliburton are at it again. Expect the Bush administration to purchase $3 billion worth of SurvivaBalls in a no-bid contract.

There’s bad blood in St. Louis. Cardinals manager Tony La Russa and Hall of Fame shortstop Ozzie Smith are taking it out on each other in the newspapers.
Ozzie is still bummed La Russa didn’t play him enough in his last season. La Russa has publically disinvited him to spring training. La Russa went farther and […]
While I was watching Mark Green accept the GOP endorsement Jenna at Right off the Shore was watching Tommy Thompson:
After his speech, he sat on the bleachers behind Green, and proceeded to ignore every word Green said. At one point, someone said he saw him check his Blackberry, and he slumped, holding his head in […]
Drudge reports Howard Dean, M.D. secretly tried to defeat New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin. Chalk up another Dr. Dean failure.
A Louisiana Congressman got caught on videotape taking a $100,000 bribe. He then hid the loot in his freezer.

Running around a political convention for a day and a half is exhausting. A 28-hour pause from the computer was a good thing. Seeing the MSM working the same beat always impresses me. They’ve got better stamina than me.

WisPolitics.com held a straw poll at the GOP convention:
GOP activists voting in the annual WisPolitics.com Straw Poll this weekend favored JB Van Hollen for attorney general, Tommy Thompson for U.S. Senate and George Allen for president.
Van Hollen and Thompson were heavily favored by official convention attendees as the picks to represent Republicans on the November […]
After accepting his party’s endorsement for governor Congressman Mark Green sat down with Boots & Sabers, Lakeshore Laments, and The American Mind. We talked about the conservative divide, stem cells, and the UW System.
On mending the wounds from the Taxpayers Protection Amendment debacle Green acknowledges the problem. “They’re clearly has been a fracture” in the […]
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Craig Gilbert made Congressman Tom Petri’s valium-like droning seem like something semi-exciting. That, my friends, takes talent.

Paul Bucher’s whistle-blowing supporters (I’m blaming Jessica McBride for the idea) chased me out of the convention hall. Since neither Bucher nor J.B. Van Hollen will get the party’s endorsement there’s no need for me to be in the ballroom.
I recorded both Tommy Thompson’s and Mark Green’s speeches. Both were pretty good. I was impressed […]
The rumor of Tommy Thompson ditching the convention was false. He showed up, delivered the ra-ra speech he’s good at, beat up Gov. Doyle, told everyone to support Mark Green, then promptly left town. Greg Bump guesses Tommy was in Appleton all of two hours.

A big issue in the governor’s race will be ethics. Here are excerpts from Mark Green’s upcoming speech:
Excerpts from Green’s acceptance speech:
“Jim Doyle is so addicted . he’s so addicted . to special interest cash that
when I asked him to agree to run a clean campaign and limit spending to $1
per Wisconsinite - that’s five […]
Scott Walker nominated Mark Green and received a standing ovation. The rank-and-file love Scott for bowing out of the Governor’s race. Walker told the convention, “Jim Doyle is fundamentaly wrong for Wisconsin.” “Jim Doyle doesn’t beleive in anything except getting re-elected.” Mark Green has an “uncommon level of common sense” and “has a plan to […]
