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 Cheddarsphere react to Tommy for Pres Part 1/2 continues

(This will be updated more-or-less frequently, and if I can remember to change the time, I will. If I miss you, let me know below and I’ll add you.)

There is a reason why I call it Part 1/2; his abortive run in 2000 was only a quarter of an effort, and I doubt that, despite saying he’ll file to form an exploratory committee, Wisconsin’s biggest tease will go through with it. What the rest of the right side of the Cheddarsphere is saying (Folkbum, Feldstein and company need not apply):

James Wigderson – He promises as President to spend like a drunken sailor on asphalt from sea to shining sea, and a dog track in every community in America. He then said to the farmers of Iowa, “LET’S STICK IT TO MINNESOTA!”

Silent E – Not conservative enough. Not conservative at all. Not pretty enough. No Chance…………..

Peter over on RDW (expecting something similar on his blog shortly) – They don’t call the GOP the Stupid Party for nothing.

Michelle Malkin (so she’s not a Cheddarhead; I grant special dispensation based on this week’s Vent) – Five letters for you–L.O.S.E.R. (damn, but that’s harsh, but what do you expect from someone who displays a bigger set of balls than Fox News)

Aaron (who didn’t hear the news) – I say it’s time for Tommy to run.

Jib – Clearly his ego knows no bounds.

Sean Hackbarth – And soon after he’ll realize he can’t win then drop out.

Jenna – Thompson’s biggest problem is his complete and utter lack of foreign policy experience or knowledge.

Patrick – Tommy, please"¦ please"¦ Just don’t do it..

Charlie Sykes on the 11/16/2006 Sykes-Wagner Podcast – …(I)f the term “dark horse” doesn’t apply here, I don’t know when you would use the term “dark horse”.

Jeff Wagner on the same podcast – …(T)he reality is, it seems to me, that his time has passed.

Marcus Aurelius on the Badger Blog Alliance – I don’t think Tommy would be any better with the veto pen and pork than W or when he was The Guv.

More rolls please

Can the roll get any bigger? Yes, it can:

Patrick McIlheran, the Journal Sentinel’s resident semi-conservative, makes an appearance.
Frank Lasee, who tried to give us Cheddarheads some serious tax relief with both TABOR and the TPA, also rolls in.

It’s a good thing WordPress has a randomizer function for the roll.

Welcome to Florida part 2

by @ 18:13. Filed under Politics - Wisconsin.

Silent E is wondering whether Wisconsin’s version of Al Gore has conceded. Kathleen Falk hasn’t conceded yet, and depending on when the last county reports its results to the State Elections Board, she’ll have until 11/27 to do so – a candidate has to wait for the final canvas to be reported to file for a recall (due no later than 11/21), then he or she has 3 days to do so (since the state takes a 4-day weekend Thanksgiving week, that extends the deadline from Friday to the following Monday).

That got me digging around the SEB website, and while there isn’t any news from the Falk campaign, there were three recalls ordered in Assembly races (unofficial vote totals courtesy AP/JSOnline:

By way of comparsion, Falk lost 1,062,657 to 1,053,856 (0.42%).

Out of the 3 ordered recounts and one likely recount, the only one with a realistic chance of changing the result is the one in the 43rd. Along those lines, I wonder if there are 10 people in far southern Dane County, western Rock County, and the city/town of Whitewater that are regretting not voting right about now.

Time for some fauxtography fun

(H/T – Allahpundit)

Here is your chance to blow off some steam, check your eyes and the quality of your monitor, and try to figure out which of these 10 pictures are real and which ones have been digitally “enhanced”. AP got 9 of 10 right, I got 7, if you get less than 5, you a “punk-ass Adnan Hajj wannabe” (AP’s words), and if you drop below 3, you’re probably a Reuters employee.

One thing, don’t cheat by reading the comments there before taking the test (comments will be disabled on this post to prevent cheating).

Go to it, and good luck.
