BUMP!!!

Check it out.

One of my faves of all time.

That is all.

The Asian Badger Kultural Korner

Nick and I joined a local photo group to go walking around Marquette with a bunch of like minded people who love to take photos. It was a little chilly with the wind off the lake but I got to see some things I didn’t know existed in my hometown.

Special thanks to Scott Feldstein, who arranged some “behind the scenes” entrances. Yeah, he’s a lib but he’s a hell of a nice guy, a talented photographer and we had a lot of fun and, much to MY amazement, found a lot of common ground. His fiance is a babe, too. Thanks again, Scott.

The people I met were some of the nicest people around….all dedicated to trying to take better snaps and helping each other to try and do just that. Other than an old group of “Black Helicopter Assassains” I’ve never met a group of nicer people.

I’m going to post my talentless photos on my Flickr account as soon as I get the ambition or drinks to do so. They’re going up just as I shot the with no post processing. Some are pretty good. Some are not.

For you hot babes who keep trolling the mighty Asian Badger blog for pictures of Nick, well….so sorry…maybe next time.

On the Movie Kultural front…rent a move called “Drumline” which is about the marching band of Southern University.

Think the Script Ohio by the dog-ass Buckeye Marching Band is cool? (and it is)…………………………………………pfffffffffffffffffffft.

Think the entrance by The Mighty UW Badgers Marching Band is cool? (it’s not…Mike Le Crone is a crone and brain dead)………………….PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT

Watch what a real drill team looks like….skip through the “boy meets girl”, crap…although the babes are pretty hot.

Be sure, if nothing else, to watch the last 10-15 minutes……whoa!!!!!

To all the Milwaukee photo irregulars….thanks for everything.

Congratulations to Mike MCarthy

I Am Not Surprised

Fred, over at Real Debate Wisconsin has an excellent post about the lies the GWC is telling about Supreme Court candidate, Judge Michael Gableman.

GWC is just a joke, not to mention a bunch of scam artists.

Like many in the Cheddarsphere, I’ve been fortunate enough to meet with Judge Gableman and plan on voting for him on April 1st. I hope you vote for him, too.

What’s really sad is that the bubbleheads in the MSM haven’t picked up on this. Not that we expected them to do so.

Bullseye

Nice shot by all parties concerned. I think it’s pretty significant that the shot took place from a Ticonderoga-class Cruiser.

I’m sure more than a few sphincters tightened in Russia, China, North Korea and Iran.

Yeah, This Makes Sense

Those of us who live in the 98th district are served by Rich Zipperer in the State Assembly. Thank God.

Given the shortfalls in state revenues, the Dems in the Senate decided to come up with a $90 million tax INCREASE. WTF, you have to be kidding me! How effing stupid can Decker and his minions be? (Answer: See description of this blog, above, for the answer.)

I don’t recall seeing anything on this in the MJS….if it was there, I missed it.

Happily, I didn’t miss Rep. Zipperer’s news release on this moronic proposal…if you aren’t in his district, you can see it here.

Who says this state isn’t a tax hell?

Happiness is The Eagles

I’ve always been a big fan of The Eagles. “Already Gone” reminds me of my love life and “Get Over It” kind of sums up my general philosophy towards life.

Therefore, I am a huge believer it you only own one song by The Eagles, it should be THIS ONE. All of the best of all their songs in one song. Click on #2, “How Long”.

Best Eagles song ever.

Sorry For the Lack of Posts

I’m back from an undisclosed triple secret location. In the meantime, until I get back into the rants high quality posts you have come to expect from this cutting edge blog, here’s something to make you wonder about the future of the human race.

Crowbars in your pants are not a good thing.

They’re Not All Morons

I frequently refer to people in state government as the “Morons in Madistan”. There are some exceptions. Bill Kraemer, who is filling in for Owen is not one of them.
Neither is Leah Vukhmir. Neither is my assemblyman, Rich Zipperer. Here’s the latest from one of the good guys.

NEWS RELEASE: Internet Tax Freedom Act Passes Committee Unanimously

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
January 22, 2008

CONTACT: Rich Zipperer
OFFICE: (60 266-5120

HEADLINE: Internet Tax Freedom Act Passes Committee Unanimously
SUBHEADLINE: Zipperer-authored legislation approved by Assembly
committee on Energy and Utilities 10-0.

Madison-On Tuesday, the state Assembly committee on Energy and
Utilities, chaired by Rep. Phil Montgomery (R-Ashwaubenon), voted
unanimously to approve the Wisconsin Internet Tax Freedom Act, a bill
authored by Rep. Rich Zipperer (R-Pewaukee). When enacted, the
Wisconsin Internet Tax Freedom Act will bring Wisconsin into compliance
with the federal internet access tax moratorium, first signed into law
by President Clinton in 1998 and recently extended through 2014 by
President Bush.

“Wisconsin is one of only a handful of states that still collects a tax
for simply signing onto the internet,” said Zipperer. “I’m grateful
that the committee came together in a bipartisan fashion to approve this
common sense legislation. By eliminating this tax, we will not only
bring Wisconsin into compliance with the federal moratorium, but we will
help level the playing field for businesses and families throughout
Wisconsin who want to learn, do business, or simply keep in touch
through the internet.”

The committee also approved a Zipperer amendment to adopt the latest
definition of ‘internet access’ as approved by the federal government in
late 2007. Finally, the committee adopted an amendment that delays
enactment of the bill until the 2009-10 biennium, a move deemed
necessary by the committee because the current budget has already been
enacted.

According to the Department of Revenue, AB 223 will provide Wisconsin’s
internet consumers with $56 million of tax relief in 2009, and the
amount of relief will grow each year as more households and businesses
go online.

The legislation now moves forward to the full Assembly for consideration
during an upcoming floor period.

It’s about time. Many thanks, Rich. Feel free to join us for pizza anytime.

Started the Year Off on the Right Foot

For the last few years, a bunch of friends of mine and I celebrate the Badgers bowl games at Potowatomi. One of the guys has a VIP pass so we go to the VIP lounge, watch the game, drink a little beer, and then claim a table in the poker room for some $3/$6 or $4/$8 to claim best poker player of the year. Trash talking is encouraged.

Sadly, I didn’t win the “PPotY” this year but I did manage to earn a significant “trade surplus” at Poto thanks to video poker.

The only bad part of the day was the Mighty Badgers losing to to the dog-ass Vols. Maybe it was payback for the Wisconsin brigade helping W.T. Sherman wipe out the Tennessee gene pool awhile back.
