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.

Operation Exploitation – the preparation – UPDATE – final preps are being made

by @ 16:08. Filed under The Blog.

Revisions/extensions/bump to the top (4:08 pm 11/1/2007) – The TTLB blogs are now up, so I brought this back to the top, added the NRE recommended blogs there, and will have a reminder on the sidebar shortly.

Maury Sline always believed in proper exploitation. I may not be Elwood Blues, but I know a bit about that stuff.

Most of the The finalists for the 2007 Weblog Awards are set. First, the bad news; the Bar didn’t make it in the best sports blog category. DAMMIT! Guess I’ll have to break out the PJ-Comix mojo next year.

Meanwhile, some of my favorite blogs have shown up in the finalist positions, and I’m holding out hope for a few more have shown up in the TTLB ones. Remember, one vote per computer/IP combo per day is all you’re allowed; make maximum use of it, but only if you’re going to vote for the NRE recommended blogs. So, without further adieu, I present to you the blogs that I will be voting for, and you should be voting for as well:

We lost a fine pilot and warrior today. May the weather be CAVU, sir.

The FReeper Foxhole brings back a great profile of him from 2004.

Dhimm stragedy to lose WOT, African edition

by @ 9:56. Filed under International relations, Politics - National, War on Terror.

Patrick Poole over at PajamasMedia reports on the latest attempt by the DhimmiRATs in Congress to systematically kill this country’s relationship with every country that continues to help fight against Al Qaeda and its affiliated Islamokazi groups. This week’s target, Ethiopia.

Ostensibly, the proposed prohibition of the American arming of Ethiopia as well as travel to the US by Ethiopian leaders is a delayed reaction to intimidation after Ethiopia’s 2005 elections. This ignores significant steps undertaken by the Ethiopian government to atone for that.

I strongly suspect the real reason was because the Ethiopians liberated Somalia from the Al Qaeda-linked Islamic Courts Union with a bit of backing from American air power. Not only did they dare oppose the Islamokazis successfully, but they succeeded where their hero Bill Clinton failed spectacularily.

Back-door raise attempt by the Milwaukee County Board

by @ 9:32. Filed under Politics - Milwaukee County.

After Brian Fraley raised the red flag on Lee Holloway’s latest attempt to milk more money out of the system, I decided to ask my Supervisor, Paul Cesarz, what he plans to do. There should be no surprise as to the response:

Steve:

Thank you for both catching this item and writing to me about it.

I expected this type of maneuver either here in the budget process
at this eleventh hour or sometime between now and March 2008.

Since the raise amendment is before us on Monday, I expect the
following to occur. First, I will vote no. Second, they will have enough
votes to approve it. Finally, The County Executive will have to veto
the item, and importantly, since this is an election issue, the public
will have to call to persuade and encourage their supervisor to vote
to sustain the Veto.

With the publics’ help, there should be enough votes to accomplish this.

Thanks again for contacting me.

Best regards,

Paul

I knew there was a reason why I voted for him in 2004. That is it.
