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.

CTU Denver
If you’re jonesing for some good, new “24” and can’t wait until January, The Jack Sack has you covered with a look at the Mile High Massacre featuring Mike Doyle and Milo Pressman (at least when Adam is sober). So far, we got 8 am-9 am and 9 am-10 am.
Before you click to read, I must say the following disclaimer…

Friday (and earlier) videos
First, I’m a day or so late pointing you to the latest Ventilator tune. Bryan may or may not be able to carry a tune, but it is far more beautiful than the Islamokazis who train and pray all day and night ’till they learn how to take a life. Helping out in that beauty is Michelle’s piano-playing.
Next, Uncle Jimbo lays the lumber upside Dingy Harry Reid’s and Queen Plastic Pelosi’s heads in today’s Friday Freefly. It’s swirly time for the Dingy one.
Later today (I probably won’t be around to give it to you live), we’ll have HamNation on five.

Citizen Blogging Summit – 6/15/2007
Sorry, Scott and Newt. A better offer came along for next Friday afternoon; a Citizen Blogging Summit at Radio City. I’m more likely to find a bar afterwards, and there’s free food. The fun starts with lunch at 12:45, business at 1:30, and “officially” ends at 4:05.
Now, if I believed in cloning, I’d send the clone to Waukesha (or would I send myself; that’s the trouble with clones, you can’t keep them straight).
Revisions/extensions (4:03 pm 6/9/2007) – For those of you who don’t know where Radio City (aka WTMJ-AM/WKTI-FM/WTMJ-TV/DT studios) is, it’s at 720 E. Capitol Dr. barely in Milwaukee. Take I-43 to Capitol, then head east (I can’t stress that enough). Just before you hit the Milwaukee River, you’ll find it on your left. If you cross the river and enter Shorewood, you went too far.
Note to those that are coming from the northwest, I recommend taking Good Hope Rd. from 41/45 to I-43 rather than taking Capitol. There’s fewer stop lights, and the speed limit is 40 almost all the way. Do watch your speed east of Brown Deer Park; the North Shore police departments do not cut you much slack, and just before you hit the freeway, the speed limit drops to 30.

Mary Katharine – HAMMER!
Sad to see the “Soporanos” going? Going to miss the opening drive that Tony takes through the Jersey shore? Mary Katharine Ham recreates that from the Beltway perspective in today’s HamNation. Nice touch including the stogie.

Miracles never cease?
P-Mac relays a story about a driver who actually stopped to let him complete his crossing of Kilbourn. The odd thing is that the car had Illinois plates.
Either that is the oddest sort of FIB (note to Patrick; if you want a future as a headline writer, you would’ve called the post “No FIBbing” instead of “No fibbing”), or that driver heard about the sting operation the MPD occassionally does downtown.

Thanks, Pug J
Just got my Walker for Governor shirt in the mail. It will be ready for the 2010 run.
Caption this…
While we wait for the Pubbies’ turn on CNN, Ian dug up an interesting instant-blooper reel from Sunday’s post-Dem debate coverage. The screen cap he got from it is absolutely priceless, so let the fun begin….

I’m back, burnt, and ready
No thanks to the Department of Homeland Security North Mexico, who decided to harass both the bus I was on from North Shore and the bus from Temple Bay instead of working on the southern border. More on that in a bit.
Even though we had about a day and a half of sunshine up on Eagle Lake, and Oly and I didn’t get a fish over the slots (18-23″ for walleye and 27 1/2-35 1/2″ for northern), it was a very productive trip. We each limited out with 4 quality walleye and 4 quality northerns apiece, and shore lunch every day except Sunday (the first day, where we got to the lodge late). Much of that was because the water was somewhere between 2-3 feet lower than usual, making most of the usual hot spots, which are depth-sensitive, much less productive than usual. We did find a few more spots, including one we gave the bus chaperone, who promptly picked up a 30″ walleye.
That low lake level made it a bit challenging for the backup boat man (me), as our usual boat man was in Brazil doing some prep work for the US futsal team’s appearance in the 2007 Pan American Games. We bumped a few rocks, but the prop and lower unit came through pretty close to unscathed. We even plowed our way through some pretty ugly fog on the way to a freshly-opened fish sanctuary yesterday with massive help from GPS.
The lack-of-fun began when we pulled up to the border. The DHSNM, as I alluded to above, decided that because the weather was actually nice, they wanted to go through most of the bags in the bottom of the bus with but 2 agents for about 40 people and heaps and heaps of bags to go through. That burned an hour, during which mosquitoes decided the inside of the bus would be a great place to hang out. The kicker was when they decided to do the same stunt on the Temple Bay bus (which is labeled “Temple Bay Lodge Canadian Fishing Express”, no less) and the 2 agents got done with us, they joined the 2 that were harassing them.
Yeah, I now know that the feds earlier today busted up a plot to blow up fuel lines at JFK Airport in New York and that earlier in the week the “chatter” was increasing. However, the less-than-complete search (my main bag has 6 compartments, 4 of which had items in it, 2 of which were “opened”) isn’t exactly reassuring.
But wait, there’s more. We stopped for diesel in International Falls, and when the bus driver tried to start the bus, it wouldn’t start. Between getting a tow truck out and charging the massive battery enough to turn over the massive diesel, that killed another hour, during which even more mosquitoes decided to join the party.
In any case, I’m back. I see Junior McGee-Jackson is in the local jail for threatening

Friday videos
You’ll have to find these on your own next week, but don’t say you don’t know where to look because I’m leading you to the water this week:
– The Peeps are back on HamNation. Content warning, there is a jihadi peep this week, and there is a “forward-looking statement”, so MKH and Katie cannot say that no peeps were harmed in the shooting of this week’s HamNation.
– Today’s Vent turns up the heat on Homeland Security North Mexico Assimilation Secretary Michael Chertoff and leaves him extra crispy.
Dunno if we’ll have a Friday Freefly, but he’s busy writing a story about his experiences in the Waterborne Infiltration Course, and put up part 1.

Lethal cuteness, the French version
(H/T, or is that blame? – Wendy)
As Allahpundit said about the once-lethally adorable polar bear, Knut, don’t say I didn’t warn ya.
4 white lions were born this past weekend at a French zoo to increase the world’s white lion population by over 10%. Taking a page from Knut’s mother, the cubs’ mother abandoned them after birth; while the zoo’s staff took a page from the Berlin Zoo and adopted the male and 3 female cubs.
I wonder if the envirowhackos will say that these lion cubs should be clubbed like they wanted done to Knut because their mother rejected them.
Blogiversaries galore
Though I didn’t note NRE’s first blogiversary, and I won’t note it’s second/third/fourth/so on and so forth, it’s good to see some people care when their blogs hit certain ages:
– Boots and Sabers turned 4 today.
– An Ol’ Broad’s Ramblings hit the magical 1.
– Tomorrow, bRight & Early hits 2 with a special edition of First Cup Radio.
Congrats on getting your blogs another year older and wiser.

BBA Spring Shoot – Sat 5/19 at 10 am
If it’s May, it’s allergy season. Nothing’s really caught my eye between yesterday and today, so I’ll simply remind you that the BBA Spring Shoot is this Saturday at McMiller’s. Bring yourself, $14 for an all-day pass, a couple bucks for earplugs (unless you already have some; you do need them), and if you have a few guns, them and ammo (don’t worry if you’re unarmed, there will be guns there). Be there or be nowhere.

Lost weekend catchup
Damn allergies. Even the full-blown Claritin-D hasn’t been keeping up. Let’s see what I missed over the weekend:
– Brett Favre supposedly wants out after the Randy Moss deal fell through. There are no good guys here. Favre is an idiot for thinking that Moss either wanted to play here or would actually play hard here, and Wile E. Thompson (mud) needs to be fired post haste for doing absolutely, positively nothing to address any of the 3 biggest concerns the Packers had (RB, TE and WR).
– The Thompson Twins crushed the competition at the RPW convention Presidential straw poll. Fred, who hasn’t announced yet, took 95 of the 306 votes cast, while Tommy (The Other) took 84. In a bad sign for Rudi, Mitt Romney outdid him for 3rd, 41-35. Oh, and stick a fork in McShame; when Sam Brownback gets 14 and the other unannounced candidate on the straw poll ballot, Newt Gingrich, gets 12 to your 10, you’re done. Also, Scott Walker, who will be running for Milwaukee County executive again in 2008 in an attempt to keep the tax-and-spend-and-tax-and-spend Board in line, crushed the competition in the gubernatorial straw poll, getting 142 of the 306 votes cast.
– In the good news/bad news of fire department, the good news is Tuscarora, my canoe outfitter, survived the ongoing Ham Lake Fire with nary a burn (just a lost shed and fort lost in the first hours of the fire). Same with most of the other outfitters on the end of the Gunflint Trail, and nobody has been injured. The bad is a lot of people lost their cabins and homes up there, and Wilderness Canoe Base got wiped out. Also, the route Oly, his nephew and I intended to take this year ended up in the path of the fire.

Why was the Egg in Madtown last night?
I finally got to meet Uncle Jimbo and (briefly) Kev, the brains behind the Friday Freefly, and throw back a few Bacardi and cokes with a great guy at Wando’s. Random tidbits (I really should’ve done this this morning, but I simply ran out of time):
– Land Warrior is an interesting concept. The only problem with it is that it adds yet another 16 pounds to the load of the average trooper, who’s already lugging somewhere north of 80 pounds into battle, and that tends to make the grunts unhappy.
– To be President, you have to be a good manager and “look” Presidential. The current field lacks that.
– For those of you who are looking for Fred, he doesn’t have to come in just yet. The ideal time, assuming that things don’t fall apart in Iraq, would be in the early fall.
– A special to the accounting grad students that were next to us – if you order the Wando’s Fish Bowl, shut up and drink. Don’t try to dicker over the bill because no matter what the bartender throws in, it’s going to cost you the same because you’ll get the same amount of alcohol.
– It’s far better to actually source the material than to follow the crowd.
It was great to take that road trip. For the rest of you, put Blackfive on your blogrolls and subscribe to Uncle J’s YouTube channel (just in case I forget to point you to a Freefly or In The Crosshairs).

Roll bloat – the Miracle-Gro edition
It’s spring and the grass, or at least the weeds, are growing. Guess it’s time to feed the blogroll with the following:
- Eject! Eject! Eject! – Bill Whittle comes highly recommended by Uncle Jimbo. Now that I’ve been pointed in the right direction, I’m highly recommending him too.
- Ace of Spades HQ – How I didn’t link to Ace before now I will never know.
- JSOnline – Partly because I link to P-Mac, and partly because they’re my best source of material, it’s time to put them back on the Media Links.
- Madison’s Isthmus – Yeah, they’re mostly nuts, but anybody who carries Charlie and has Uncle J dragging them into the 21st Century can’t be all bad.

Substitute “24” Live Thread
Since the boys at Blogs4Bauer seem to have been overcome with Sentox (but not before bRight & Early got this week’s Kill CounterChallenge up, I guess I’m going to have to pick up the slack. I won’t have any eye candy, mainly because Russet Potato Face hacked her way into the Miss Blogs4Bauer contest at the expense of the Michelle Dessler.

It don’t mean a thing if I ain’t got that swing
And I definitely don’t have that swing right now. I’m going on 3 weeks of a seriously-bum ankle, allergies are in full bloom, and I’m plum out of ideas. Let’s see…
– The French elected a conservative and the lieberals rioted. I have to wonder what percentage of that was the Islamokazi component; after all, they’re only a generation or two from being able to turn France into part of the Caliphate via the ballot box if they stick together, even if the rest of France don’t do what the French usually do when faced with a threat and simply surrender.
– The May edition of Drinking Right is tomorrow. Same time, same place. See you at Papa’s Social Club at 7.
– The family that robs together sticks together – a father/son bank-robbing team was busted in Wauwatosa. I guess Pappy needed some more cash so he could be a “good Samaritan”. And people wonder why I’ve always hated “Robin Hood”.
– The mob lives on in Vegas; some wise guy used explosives on top of a car parked in the Luxor hotel parking garage to conduct a near-perfect surgical hit at 4 am this morning, killing one and injuring another. At least that’s what the police are saying. Say, how’s the OU bombing investigation going, you know, the one where Joel Hinrichs blew himself up outside the crowded football stadium back in 2005?
There’s one more item that I want to give the full-blown NRE treatment to, so like the Terminator, I’ll be back.
