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.

Links bloat – the “influential” edition

by @ 21:21. Filed under The Blog.

BlogNetNews Wisconsin, a decent aggregator of the Cheddarsphere, just started an influence index. Inexplicably, I’m #4. Must be that Jack Bauer’s working for them in Season 7 because there’s no way I’m nearly that influential.

They’re not a blog, so I can’t throw them in the roll. If I had room for a 4th column, I’d run their aggregator, but I’ve got too much crap the way it is :-)

Roll bloat – 85% agree edition

While I disagree with Stan’s thoughts on the Pask case, I don’t quite hold that against him. Free Constitution is a good read and worthy addition to the roll.

Constitution Day

by @ 13:10. Filed under History, Politics - National.

220 years ago today, the world’s oldest national Constitution was signed by 39 of the 55 delegates who attended and 70 who were appointed to the constutional convention called for by the Continental Congress. A bit of trivia; Rhode Island sent no delegates.

Kevin Fischer passes along a 50-question online quiz. See if you can beat my 45-of-50 score (without cheating, that is).

Off to jury duty – UPDATE – done for 4 years

by @ 12:18. Filed under Miscellaneous.

I hate having a low-end last name; it seems they always pick from the beginning. I get to fight downtown traffic to get there by 2 and pay boku bucks for parking. Could be better; I could be fighting Zoo Freeway traffic and have to get there by 1. Hopefully I’ll be back soon. In the meantime, the guest-blogging sign is lit.

Before I go, there is a reason why Milwaukee County uses DMV records rather than voting records; non-existent people usually don’t drive, but they sure do vote in Milwaukee County.

Update (4:35 pm 9/17/2007) – That was a wasted 2 1/2 hours. The $11 that the county is coughing up just about covers parking ($8) and gas (about a gallon). I’m back.
