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.

Two post Bonds thoughts.

In the wake of Mr Steroid hitting his 756th home run two reactions stand out…

Bud Selig missed the game to go to a meeting with George Mitchell about steroids in baseball.   Classic.

I thought by doing a prepared video Hank Aaron showed the ultimate amount of class.   To me that gesture said I am man enough to congratulate you, but by not being there in person I do not acknowledge you.   Aaron has always been a class act.

To those who wish to apply race into this.   No one did not want Bonds to set this record because he is black.   People dislike him because he is a cheater and more than anything just because he is  a monumental jerk.

8th Supervisory District to the rest of Milwaukee County – we want your taxes raised

Unofficial vote totals:

Patricia Jursik: 3,104 votes (54.1%)
Christopher Kujawa: 2,622 votes (45.7%)
Write-in: 14 votes (0.3%)

And yes, this is a bad omen, not only for Scott Walker, not only for Milwaukee County, and not only for Pubbies, but for the entirety of Wisconsin. Cudahy was the flashpoint of the never-quite-realized 2002 Clean Up County Government movement, and South Milwaukee was (a bit less than) half the nascient tax-freeze movement. This 9+-point failure, especially with another pension grab in the news, has the distinct feel of the final shovel of dirt being dumped on the graves of those movements. I might just have to keep packing.

Now, I REALLY need a vacation. Patrick, Fred and Aaron, take it away.
