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.

MJS endorses Dwyer, bloggers destroy endorsement before it gets published

by @ 22:53. Filed under Miscellaneous.

In what is the least-surprising endorsement of the year, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel racist Jentinel endorsed Waukesha County Board Chairman Jim Dwyer for Waukesha County executive. Through the wonders of the Internet and the blogosphere, we have a full destruction of this before the first paper rolls off the press. Kevin at Lakeshore Laments calls it “The Death Knoll” (seems the Journtinel edits don’t have a very good track record of endorsing winners), and Owen at Boots and Sabers just destroys the editorial piece by moronic piece.

There has been but two questions the edits at 4th and State ask when endorsing a candidate –

  1. Who has spent more time in government?
  2. Who is more liberal?

Answer those two questions, and you’ll find who they endorse 99 times out of 100.

Revisions/extensions – using the standards of the racist Jentinel, Dwyer deserves an asterisk as he no longer represents the majority of his district

Packer-less Week 6

Okay; time to run it around. 37-35-2 is not going to put bread on the table. As always, these are for entertainment purposes only, the lines are courtesy Yahoo, and if you’re crazy enough to put money down based on these picks, do so legally.

Miami @ Tampa Bay (-4) – The cancer’s back, and there’s going to be trouble.
Minnesota @ Chicago (-3) – The NFC North is 0-for-the-season on the road. I see nothing to change this, especially after “The Ho Boat” incident.
Carolina (+1) @ Detroit – If, by some miracle, Detroit wins this one, it’s all over.
NY Giants @ Dallas (-3.5) – Eli isn’t good enough yet to win games like these.
Atlanta (-5.5) vs New Orleans @ San Antonio – The Saints have but one more win left in them; unfortunately, this isn’t the first game at Baton Rouge.
Cincinatti (-3) @ Tennessee – Do not let last week fool you.
Cleveland @ Baltimore (-6) – Take the self-imploding OldBrowns and the ridiculous under 34.5. This has the look of a 12-3 game.
Jacksonville (+3) @ Pittsburgh – I’ll hate myself about 3:15, but you’re not going to need the points. Charlie Freaking Batch ain’t gonna score them.
Washington @ Kansas City (-6) – From the altitude to the broiler; the Redskins are done.
NY Jets @ Buffalo (-3) – This may be counter-intuitive considering neither team can move the ball, but I like the over 33.
San Diego (-1.5) @ Oakland – Run, don’t walk to the nearest window to take advantage of this ridiculous mistake in the line. In his last 3 starts (3-0), Drew Brees has 7 TDs and 0 picks
New England @ Denver (-3) – This won’t be a close game. Denver will just pound the ball down the Pats’ throats.
Houston @ Seattle (-9.5) – Despite the fact that Houston won’t score, I’m tempted to take the over of 46. I won’t because that’s only a slight reach.
St Louis (+13.5) @ Indianapolis – If the over were 61 instead of 51, I’d still say, “TAKE THE OVER!”
