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.

Just one of the many reasons Dennis York is Blogger of the Year

He whacks Jim “Craps” Doyle (WEAC/Potawatomi-For Sale) but good with the Exxon tiger. Random quote from the piece – “According to Wisconsin Elections Board records, Doyle raised a total of $1.2 million from contributors between July 1 and December 31st of 2005, while spending only $421,000 to raise that money. Doyle’s $800,000 profit amounts to a 200% profit over those six months.”

Tucked at the end of the piece is something that is interesting, but got ignored by the Milwaukee/Madistan presstitutes. The Appleton Post-Crescent reports that Doyle has been using state planes for campaigning without reimbursing the state for the cost. The paper cites a 11/17/2003 trip to Milwaukee during which Doyle appeared at a campaign forum for then-Senator and Presidential candidate John Edwards (D-North Carolina). The cost of the flight; $1,500. The amount the Doyle campaign reimbursed the state; $0.00 as Doyle flack Dan Leistikow called the Edwards event “absolutely” a public event, even though it was run by the Democratic Party of Wisconsin. Say, does anybody remember Doyle making hay out of McCallum’s use of the state airplane fleet? I sure do.
