No Runny Eggs

The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

And then there were 2 backwards states

Coming hard on the heels of the Kansas Legislature’s override of their governor’s veto of concealed carry, Nebraska’s Legislature has passed a concealed-carry bill 32-12. Governor Dave Heineman said previously that he woudl sign it, making the veto-proof majority just icing on the cake. That leaves Wisconsin and Illinois as the 2 states where law-abiding citizens cannot defend themselves with weapons.

Assuming that Sgt. Schultz won’t reverse course and become a RepublicRAT next year, if we get Mark Green as Governor, we’ll join 48 other states in the land of sanity next year.

MMSD at it again

Yesterday, MMSD, The Crappy Water People™, dumped 800,000 gallons of partially-treated sewage into the lake from the Jones Island treatment plant. According to MMSD, the partially-treated sewage, which had the solids removed and was disinfected, flowed while gates were tested for an underground channel at the plant between 10:19 am and 10:53 am. A couple of questions:

  • How did it take over a half-hour to figure out there was a problem?
  • Will the DNR finally start taking action that matches what they do to fishermen who “pump personal bilges”?
