There is a minor benefit of rolling through some of the more-coherent lefty blogs. Sometimes they do have some news. Case in point – Jay Bullock brings news of a contest being run by WisPolitics:
Enter the WisPolitics Budget Pool and win a WisPolitics ADD-ON or SILVER Subscription!
When will the Legislature formally pass a budget compromise? Provide the date and time of the final vote that sends the budget bill to Gov. Jim Doyle and win!
For example: August 20, 8:45 p.m.
Send your entry to webmaster@wispolitics.com. Please include your guess, your name and your phone number.
The deadline for entries is July 31, 2007 at 5 p.m.
WisPolitics will announce the winner after the budget is passed to Doyle. In the event of a tie, WisPolitics will award the person who made the prediction first.
If you’re a current WisPolitics.com subscriber, you will be awarded a free add-on subscription for a colleague. If you aren’t a current subscriber, you will be awarded a Silver level subscription.
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY.
My only question is whether they cleared it with the Indians and Craps first.
