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.

Can we get the ethanol madness to end tomorrow?

by @ 13:42. Filed under Corn-a-hole, Politics - Wisconsin.

The hot rumor (courtesy Owen originally) is that state senate majority “leader” Sgt. Dale Schultz (ADM-No Talk Radio Here) is going to try to ram through AB15, the bad-gas mandate, tomorrow (update as I prepped this; they’re not voting tomorrow, but with Sgt. Schultz, who knows?). This is despite the fact that we have now pulled even with ADM on James’ count at 11 apiece (assuming that Luther Olsen, whose family stands to profit handsomely, decides to end his self-imposed abstention and vote to enrich his brother). According to his handy chart, that leaves these 11 Senators on the fence, complete with their Madison office numbers –

  • Democrat Roger Breske of the 12th district (far northeast Wisconsin) – 608-266-2509
  • Democrat Tim Carpenter of the 3rd district (south side of Milwaukee and much of Greenfield) – 608-266-8535
  • Democrat Spencer Coggs of the 6th district (near north side of Milwaukee) – 608-266-2500
  • Republican Robert Cowles of the 2nd district (pretty much just north and west of Green Bay) – 608-266-8546
  • Republican Mike Ellis of the 19th district (Neenah, most of Menasha and Appleton, and points west through Winneconne) – 608-266-0718
  • Republican Scott Fitzgerald of the 13th district (Oconomowoc, Beaver Dam, Watertown, Lake Mills, Cambridge, and surrounding areas) – 608-266-5660 – James notes he’s on the fence, and I can see the Glorious Guards Shock Army straining at the leash
  • Democrat Robert Jauch of the 25th district (far northwest Wisconsin) – 608-266-3510
  • Democrat Julie Lassa of the 24th district (Stevens Point, Wisconsin Rapids, and surrounding areas) – 608-266-3123
  • Democrat Judith Robson of the 16th district (Beloit, Janesville and surrounding areas including Whitewater) – 608-266-2253, and James notes she’s on the fence
  • Republican Carol Roessler of the 18th district (Oshkosh, Fond du Lac, Waupun) – 608-266-5300
  • Democrat Lena Taylor of the 4th district (far north side of Milwaukee and the RiverWest area) – 608-266-5810

They may be voting tomorrow; they may not be. I prefer that Sgt. Schultz miscalculates in his count, has the vote, and we drive the stake through it tomorrow; but if we have to just keep it bottled up in committee through the end of the year, that’ll kill it just as surely. In any case, politely hammer these 11 so that AB15 never sees Jim “Craps” Doyle’s (WEAC/Potawatomi-For Sale) signature.

Speaking of blogrolls…

I would be remiss if I continued to ignore Chip and Dale’s Eyes on Wisconsin. Welcome to the party, guys.

Paging Mr. Sykes, paging Charlie Sykes

by @ 12:45. Filed under The Blog.

Please pick up the white courtesy phone. Thank you.

“Hello, Mr. Sykes. This is steveegg of No Runny Eggs. I noticed you updated your blogroll with a couple of worthy entries and fixed the link to my humble blog to reflect my new home. However, I seem to be missing a certain blog that goes by the name Spotted Horse. I know he dropped out of sight for a couple months, but he’s back with a vengeance and the Glorious Guards Shock Army.

“I seem to recall Chris doing a lot of blegging to get on your roll the first time, and I fear he’ll do something VERY rash if he has to go through that again. So, please, add him back to the roll. Thank you.”

Revisions/extensions (6:37 am 3/2) – “Hello again, Charlie. Thank you for putting Spotted Horse and Leaning Blue back on the roll. Now the Glorious Guards Shock Army can continue its drive for the Mississippi.”

I didn’t know E. Michael McCan’t cloned himself

by @ 12:19. Filed under Law and order, Politics - Wisconsin.

Fred has all the sordid details on Jefferson County DA E. Michael McCan…er, David Wambach refusal to prosecute anybody at Voces de la Frontera for invading the Stepp property in an attempt to pressure state senator Cathy Stepp into support illegal invaders getting drivers’ licenses. He even dug up the letter that Wambach sent to Racine County DA E. Michael Mc…er, Michael Nieskes (there I go again), who punted the case over to him. Despite the admission that Christine Neumann-Ortiz did in fact commit a crime, disorderly conduct, Wambach refused to press even that charge.

Yep; Stepp was right when she said, “The reality is appearing to be that illegal immigrants certainly DO have rights in this country–rights that aren’t even extended to LEGALLY elected officials in this country. They have been passively granted the right to intimidate, harass, frighten and bully people into changing laws to suit their taste.” (also courtesy RDW).

You would think that at least one of the presstitutes would be interested in this, but Fred has all the exclusives.
