It’s confirmed; John McCain made the right choice in choosing Sarah Palin as his VP! You know it is the perfect choice when you hear the liberals and the media’s reaction to her, they are just beside themselves. They are going after her with such vengeance that it is astounding to watch!
Oh did you hear that Gov. Palin’s daughter is pregnant? You would have to be dead not to have heard. The media is jumping on this like sharks in a blood filled pool. By the way this breaks the forever standing rule that you DON’T drag the candidate’s children into the political process. If that rule is out the door then they need to look very closely at Joe Biden’s adult children. I believe that they will find more than enough dirt on their lobbing activities to fill the front page for the next week. Or they could have reported on John Edwards’s love child in more depth, instead of just sweeping it under the table.
How about Gov. Palin’s husband, 22 years ago he received a DWI!! Drinking and driving is no small issue for sure, but really his error 22 years ago should be relevant to Gov. Palin’s VP? If that is true then the media needs to look at Sen. Obama. It was about that same time period that Obama was into some pretty heavy drugs. If Palin’s husband's DWI would disqualify her then Obama’s drugs would more than wipe him out as a candidate.
The double standard is getting to be more than I can handle. As a conservative I have come to expect that we would not get a fair shake in the media or by those left wing nut jobs, but this is way over the top!!
How about you? Have you reached your limit? Is it sinking in that you can’t just be a sideline spectator? You NEED to get INVOLVED. Support the McCain/Palin ticket; send money, put signs out, talk to your neighbors, do what ever it takes. You might also consider supporting some of the local candidates. In my district Rep. Bill Kramer would love your support. He is running for reelection and is facing the ever growing Democratic machine in Waukesha.

Governor Sarah Palin
Three months ago I started telling people that Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska, is who McCain should pick. Much of their reaction was, "who is she"? I was never confident that he would, but I knew it would be a bold move and shake up the system. She hit the national stage today like a bolt of lighting, this is a real game changer.
Needless to say that I am walking on air today, John McCain hit the ball out of the ball park with this pick!!

Baseball Team – Waukesha
Despite the many moans and groans Waukesha now has a baseball team. Although in concept I think that it is a good idea, in practice I still have some unanswered questions.
The first question on my list is why did they, the city leaders, not put this to a city referendum? There seemed to be very strong opinions on both sides of the issue. I believe that on such an important issue, that impacts a large portion of the city, there should be a through debate where all the issues could be fleshed out and talked about. I know that there were at least three public meetings where the baseball team was the topic. At the first two meetings there was little participation from the public, but in an issue like this is too important to rush it though the city counsel.
My second question has to do with parking. Enough said.
My final question is why is Frame Park the only place that make sense to house this? I would think, granted I have not explored it very seriously, that there would be several other locations that would work just as nicely. I understand that some place close to down town was the optium location so I am not sure what other property would be available.
As I said earlier, the baseball field is a done deal, so what now? We can embrace it and continue to participate in the process or we can keep beating the dead horse getting frustrated that nothing changes. We need to stay involved in the process and hold our leaders accountable to the decisions yet to be made. We need to make sure that the project succeeds, with as little negative impact and as much positive impact on the community as possible.
Stay in touch with your Alder person to keep updated on what the next steps are.
I’ll talk more about what needs to be done on another post.

How True
A friend of mine emailed me this today; I do not know the original author. I found it very funny and of course very true!!
Governmentium
A major research institution (MRI) has recently announced the discovery of the heaviest chemical element yet known to science. The new element has been tentatively named Governmentium. Governmentium has 1 neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons, and 224 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be detected as it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A minute amount of Governmentium causes one reaction to take over four days to complete when it would normally take less than a second. Governmentium has a normal half-life of three years; it does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, Governmentium’s mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganization will cause some morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.
This characteristic of moron-promotion leads some scientists to speculate that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a certain quantity in concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as Critical Morass.
