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.
Friend of NRE and AFP-Wisconsin director Mark Block has finally joined the land of the blogging with Do The Right Thing.
Revisions/extensions (9:17 pm 3/22/2008) – I could have swore I added Janet Evans’ In the Race earlier, but apparently my memory is starting to fail me. Mea culpa.
I wonder if Richardson knows that Judas never got to spend the silver he received?
PORTLAND, Ore. "” "I talked to Senator Clinton last night," Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico said on Friday, describing the tense telephone call in which he informed Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton that, despite two months of personal entreaties by her and her husband, he would be endorsing Senator Barack Obama for president.
"Let me tell you: we’ve had better conversations," Mr. Richardson said.
But Mr. Richardson stopped returning Mr. Clinton’s calls days ago, Mr. Clinton’s aides said. And as of Friday, Mr. Richardson said, he had yet to pick up the phone to tell Mr. Clinton of his decision.
The reaction of some of Mr. Clinton’s allies suggests that might have been a wise decision. "An act of betrayal," said James Carville, an adviser to Mrs. Clinton and a friend of Mr. Clinton.
"Mr. Richardson’s endorsement came right around the anniversary of the day when Judas sold out for 30 pieces of silver, so I think the timing is appropriate, if ironic," Mr. Carville said, referring to Holy Week.
Note: I am not endorsing not hoping for Pawlenty as VP. There are many people I would rather see in that slot. This blog is part of “calling ’em like I see ’em.”
Rasmussen Reports has a new Minnesota poll that shows John McCain dramatically closing the gap with his potential Democratic candidates. McCain now leads Clinton by 1 and trails Obama by only 4, both within the margin of error.
Obviously, Obama’s issues with Jeremiah Wright’s statements have led to these increases. I believe that with McCain this close in a state that has been tough to impossible for Republican candidates, Tim Pawlenty moves to the top of McCain’s VP pick list.
While simply putting Pawlenty on the ticket could well put McCain over the top in Minnesota, leveraging him with some other internal Minnesota would dramatically increase the Republican vote here. (more…)

Remember when Barack Hussein Obama said he could no more disown his (former) pastor than either the whole black community or his grandmama? He wasn’t nearly as conciliatory when it came to Trent Lott and his endorsement of Strom Thurmond’s 1948 Dixiecrat campaign at the latter’s 100th birthday party. It was nice of WorldNetDaily to pull that back from the memory hole.
Meet the new race pimp, same as the old race pimp.
Day 2 was pretty much the same as Day 1. One less loss, but I’m down to 13 of my Sweet 16 and 7 of my Elite 8.
I guess I know what song will be on Monday’s Morning Scramble.
