Carnival of the Badger

Welcome one and all to my first (hopefully not last) shot at hosting this weeks Carnival of the Badger. All things Wisconsin, no things insane. Hopefully. Although those two go together far too often.

Tracy at Sequence Inc. cracks Milwaukee Alderman Michael McGee's head, as she should. No excuse for this type of behavior from our elected officials. Right Peg?

Aaron from Subject to Change is all over this as well. And so is the Badger Blogger.

Nick thinks that the feds should spend money on federal projects, not on state and local projects. I tend to agree. The last thing I want is for more of my money to go down the Big Dig sinkhole - or to New Orleans to get washed out to sea once more.

While we are at it, From Where I Sit snaps at the feds too. He is Shocked! Shocked! that the nationwide meth problem hasn't gone away after the new laws regarding the purchase of over the counter meds like Sudafed. He's snot surprised at all. Neither am I.

On a happy note, Grumps loves his granddaughter. He treasures the moment - I think a lot that many of us should slow down and smell the roses like this once in a while. Including me.

Brian also shares a nice moment from Menasha - the results of keeping your kid busy all day long. I don't have too many photos like that. Where do my kids get the energy? Wish I could sell it. The energy, not the kids. Really.

James "gettin' wiggy wit' it" Widgerson talks about the Mark Green for governor campaign. Looks like someone is getting the tinfoil hats ready.

Also in Wisconsin politics RealDebateWisconsin has a report about assembly candidate Tim Daley. The comment section is interesting, to say the least.

Well, that does it for this weeks Carnival of the Badger. Thanks to all of the submitters and to Nick for being the driving force behind the carnival in general.

Speaking of carnivals, if you are around Madison, enjoy the Dane County Fair this weekend - maybe I will see you there!
