If it’s a new month, it’s time to add some more to that bloated roll on the right. Please welcome The (Somewhat) Daily RAG out of Pleasant Prairie.
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.

Midwest to remain private…for now – UPDATE – link to the agreement
Good news/bad news – With a major assist from Northwors…er, Northwest, TPG Capital will be taking Midwest Airlines private (pending anti-trust approval). The good is is that much of the current management will be staying around rather than the entire function being moved south. The bad; Northwest is going to want their money back quickly, and the airline industry isn’t exactly a growth industry. That’ll mean cuts.
Congrats to the 4 people who said that they’d go to somebody other than AirTrans. Another person and I got close and said a deal would be done by Labor Day (though we said AirTrans would win). For your approval, here’s the results of that poll.
When will Midwest Airlines be sold to AirTran?

Re: Your Republican opponent
With the abandonment of Tommy “The Other” Thompson’s long-shot campaign, there are currently no Republican candidates, either announced or likely, with any ties to the Bush Administration. Please make a note of it.

Emergency Blogging System
(What, you expected Steve to sign this one? He’s too busy laughing at your insistence on riding BDS with a Communistic backup plan to ruin, or that’s just a lack of sleep.)
P.S. With the Republican versions of Zero Personality and Human Gaffe Machine out of the race, you think you could get rid of the Gravel Road and Dennis the Menace?
I’m BAAAAAACK!!!
So, what did I miss besides a Brewer collapse only exceeded by a Flubs collapse and a dropout by The Other Thompson (nicely covered by Charlie) (besides a combined Sykes/P-Mac Spike; funny how that happens on my way out the door :-)
Revisions/extensions (1:42 am 8/17/2007) – I found a couple, First, the WTMJ/WKTI blogs do not have an archive system (or comments or pingback generation). Without going through my logs, the only reason I know I had a Sykes Spike is Peter found it when Charlie posted it. Not only do the Journtinel blogs have an archive system, and not only do they generate pingbacks, but Technorati picks them up as well. Now only if Technorati would recognize that the norunnyeggs.eggstor.com version is dead and stop saying that’s being updated,….
Speaking of Technorati, they did pick up SVC Alumnus Blogger’s catch of an old post of mine while outlining the trail of found WMDs in Iraq. Hmmm, I seem to have left off a comment exchange with Jay by saying that it’s his witness.
