I really really really want to like Dave Westlake…

I just wish he wouldn’t make it so hard. I have never met Mr. Westlake, and he seems by all accounts to be a very nice person. I also fully respect the campaign he has run(although I dont understand how he can do it), but getting out and meeting people and being willing to [...]

Wisconsin’s Elite in the 50 Wealthiest in Congress

Here’s a link to the Hill’s 50 Wealthiest Legislators in Washington!

Somebody there missed Herb Kohl…since the 50th person is at $5.1 million, Senator Kohl should certainly have been on this list. The Milwaukee Bucks alone should put him near the top.

Wisconsin didn’t do too badly:

#26 Representative Jim Sensenbrenner is the Wisconsin [...]

Tim John nails the point on central city unemployment!

I started working on this blog about a week ago and then set it aside when Tim John posted that he was attending Drinking Liberally. I thought I’d talk to him a bit and add any new information before posting. Well he showed up but I got distracted by other conversations. Well after reading [...]

As Tommy Thompson so succinctly put it “”Everybody knows I was broke when [...]

Stone vs. Gamble: It’s on!

Did you see the BizTimes write-up about Larry Gamble’s candidacy against State Representative Jeff Stone yet? Wow is all I can say, because Stone didn’t hold back any punches until the Gamble candidacy was official via nomination papers being turned in.

Vukmir travels to Lazich territory to get funds

State Representative Leah Vukmir (R-Wauwatosa), candidate trying to oust State Senator Jim Sullivan (D-Wauwatosa), is holding a fundraiser on June 28th…in Muskego. It strikes me as a funny since most of us who live in the southern burbs of Milwaukee metro always complain of the lack of places to dine or hold events. We [...]
