Friday Afternoon Round-up
The first thing I will do the very first thing I will do when elected is ban leaf blowers. Aren’t the train horns enough noise pollution? Get a fracking broom. My sister has many that no longer fly any more.
- Did we all know that neither of our two Starbucks are on the most current list of closures? Here are the Wisconsin stores on the list:
FOX RIVER MALL 4301 W WISCONSIN AVE APPLETON WI
OAKWOOD MALL 4800 GOLF RD EAU CLAIRE WI
LOSEY & DENTON 1422 S LOSEY BLVD LACROSSE WI
FINDLAY PLAZA 2825 UNIVERSITY AVE MADISON WI
CENTRAL & MCMILLAN 1710 CENTRAL AVE MARSHFIELD WI
8TH & WOOD 1951 8TH ST WISCONSIN RAPIDS WI
- I was reading my Alumus magazine from UW-La Crosse and I found out one of the Packer bikini girls is a UW-L grad.
- Most impressive is that John Klang, the Weston High principal who subdued his teenage murderer, was also a fellow graduate.
- Even the foreign media can see the pro-Obama tilt of the U.S. media.
- Rachel Lucas finds the Bonehead of the Day.
- The Flathead County Police Blotter gems:
7:40 a.m. A naked man was spotted below the dam in Bigfork. There’s no report as to why he was naked and below the dam.
9:17 a.m. Someone called in to report that a cat was on the top of a power pole. The caller was informed that the sheriff’s department did not have the equipment to rescue the feline. Details are still hazy as to whether the cat made it down.



After watching Brett Favre on Greta, Bill Murray on TMC and Captain Picard on SCI-FI, I realized that I had missed both the premiers of The Closer and Saving Grace, darn it. My assessments: Brett Favre doesn’t want to play in Green Bay unless he’s the starter, which I said yesterday. He’s very much a diva. Trade him to Baltimore for a 3rd round draft choice and pretend he died. Bill Murray’s a diva. Picard was a diva, too. Still, it was better than watching Chris Berman call the home run derby.

This is starting to look to me like last season for the Brewers: encouraging start, then a slide out of the race. You know how nothing gets done on Fridays at work because people are distracted by the upcoming weekend? That’s how the Brewers looked all week. If only we played the Pirates 160 games per year.
