Fred has the details. I wonder what the conflict of interest is. Smart money (the one that just won on the under in Super Bowl XL) says that the conflict of interest is with Voces de la Frontera (the invaders).
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.

The “Do Not Disturb” sign is lit
High-def – check
Beer – check
Halftime food – check
Betting slip with the under 47 and Steelers -$110 (which does not support the unbettable Steelers -4) – check
See you after the game.

Sunday pre-brunch smashes
– From Fox News, adherents of Islam, the Religion of “Peace”, stormed and torched the Danish Embassy in Syria as part of ongoing protests over a cartoon. Grow up, Muslims; the presstitutes have been doing that sort of schtick to us Christians for decades.
– The Journal Sentinel crows about how Wisconsin is the King of the Throne – yes, that throne (so if you have just eaten or are about to eat, please skip to the next segment). It seems that between Kohler-#1 in toilets, Bemis Manufacturing-#1 in toilet seats, the thickest concentraion of toilet paper manufacturers around in the Fox Valley, and SC Johnson’s Glade-#1 air freshener, we’re the king of all that is crappy. So next time you see #2 floating in Lake Michigan, take pride that not only did a Wisconsinite (probably) squeeze that particular piece out, and not only that MMSD-The Crappy Water People decided to once again showcase Wisconsin’s competence by displaying their incompetence, but that Wisconsinites had a hand in almost every other step of that process as well. Don’t say I didn’t warn you
– In the “blind squirrel finds nut” category, Eugene Kane gets something right. History is history, so it’s time to stop patronizing blacks by setting aside the shortest month of the year as “Black” History Month. Teach those milestones on the anniversaries of the dates they happened (and find a suitable time for those that happened during the summer).
– The Minister of Defense, Reggie White, is headed to the Football Hall of Fame. Despite his passing away last year, fellow inductees Troy Aikman and Warren Moon will be looking over their shoulders hearing the footsteps and their blockers flying through the air, and I’ll be hearing Reggie’s gravel voice.
– Fred gives “Badcast” a unique definition. No, it’s not a putrid podcast (though if I tried it, it sure would be); it’s a Badger-centric one. Tips of the hat to Aaron and Jenna, and Sean for having the courage to do this.

No Runny Eggs – version 2.0
Unless you’ve been in a cave the last two days, you know that BlogSpot/Blogger(/Google) has had a very bad couple of days. Between that and my host, Yahoo Small Business, offering a few incentives to make me blog at a more-or-less dormant domain I had just sitting out there (namely, private domain information and one-button WordPress/Movable Type setup), I took the plunge away from BlogSpot.
For those of you that want to do the same, WordPress does offer a free service (WordPress.com), and they do make it more-or-less easy to move both your posts and Blogger comments over to WordPress (whether it’s the free one at WordPress.com or the host-your-own, full-featured one at WordPress.org). For those with the paid version of HaloScan, you can import your old comments too – check here for directions before starting importing your BlogSpot blog. A couple words of caution:
- If you have links back to previous Blogger posts, you’ll want to convert them to links to WordPress posts after the conversion.
- If you had pics on Blogger itself (the pic says it’s from, say, photo1.blogger.com), you’ll need to move the pic to a new server and change the link and source; some of that small print on the TOS is that pics hosted by blogger.com are only visible from blogger.com.
- If (really, when) the import feature stalls out (it’ll go blank, and you’ll no longer get “new” posts at your blog), do NOT refresh the page it was running on, do NOT close it, and do NOT use the “reset” link. Instead, open up a new browser window and rerun the import; that SHOULD get things restarted where they froze up without the possibility of repeated posts.
Well, let’s see if we can break this thing :-)
First poll over
For those that don’t remember it, it asked:
Should Jessica reinstate the McBride’s Media Matters Mini-Poll?
- Yes, but not with Bravenet.
- Yes, I didn’t mind the ads blocking her site from time to time.
- No, I didn’t like it anyway.
The final numbers were 7 for choice 1, 0 for choice 2, and 4 for choice 3. Guess the people have spoken.
