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:

A great writeup on Trader Joe’s

I’ve been a fan of the Trader Joe’s grocery chain since the first Trader Joe’s opened in Glendale at the Bayshore Town Center a few years ago.

Neumann competing in beer stein holding competition tonight

This has absolutely nothing to do with the 2010 gubernatorial election, but I thought it was funny and worth mentioning. As reported by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Republican gubernatorial candidate Mark Neumann will compete in a German beer stein holding contest called Masskrugstemmen tonight at the Old German Beer Hall.

We need fiscal conservatives….

Yes we need fiscal conservatives in Washington to run our government for us. Obviously, President Obama can’t do it, his wife went on vacation.

Opinion: Time for septu-, octo-, nona- and cente- age limits

When one reaches their late septuagenarian, octogenarian, nonagenarian or centenarian status it is time to step down and let younger, healthier, more energetic, more socially aware and tech savvy people fight to win your seat.
