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.

Legislative Audit Bureau investigates Indian gaming, finds boku holes

by @ 13:05. Filed under Politics - Wisconsin.

Let’s review the “high”lights of the latest biennial Legislative Audit Bureau’s performance evaluation of the Department of Administration’s Division of Gaming, which is responsible for regulating every aspect of legal gaming in the state:

– The Ho-Chunk are in the third year of stiffing the state.
– The Lac du Flambeau got the most out of their investment in Jim “Craps” Doyle (WEAC/Potawatomi-For Sale), and are not required to make any payments.
– Confronted by evidence of differences between the amounts recorded by electronic meters and amounts counted by casino staff every day of 2006 discovered by the LAB, the DOG adopted the amnesia defense.
– Between March 2006 and April 2007, the DOG did not review any data from the casinos to determine whether the tribes had identified, investigated, and documented differences between amounts recorded by electronic meters and amounts counted by casino staff. Under compacts, the tribes are to investigate and document when amounts recorded by a by a meter in an electronic gaming device differ by at least 3% and more than $25 from the amounts counted by casino staff. The DOG only resumed review when the LAB began its review.

Something is rotten in the Valley, at the Dells, and various other casinos, and it isn’t the meat rendering plant.

Ed Driscoll has an excellent column and video on how the stranglehold the LeftStream Media had on the reporting of news got shattered. I would do you and Ed a disservice to even try to choose what to excerpt. However, there is a quote from TimeWarner CEO Richard Parsons that needs to be commented on: "The Googles of the world, they are the Custer of the modern world. We are the Sioux nation. They will lose this war if they go to war. The notion that the new kids on the block have taken over is a false notion."

It makes me sad to realize that the failure to teach history began long before my generation. Yes, the Sioux massacred the 7th Cavalry at Little Big Horn. However, there is a reason why South Dakota is part of the United States and not the country of Sioux Nation; that battle came before the one at Wounded Knee. There’s a lot more of “us” than there are of “them”.

Now, go read and watch.
