Yeah, we have jerks of the type you describe, but not enough to explain why Walker is 3-0. It's more than that. Feingold by all indications will run for his old seat in '16 and I think he will win. We also elected Tammy Baldwin. Just a really weird state politically. Always has been- we gave the country Fightin' Bob Lafollette and Russ Feingold, but also Joe McCarthy and Paul Ryan. It's hard to figure.

I also enjoy the rivalry- as a UW grad I am a huge Badger fan and have always loved the games for the Ax, the bball games both at Williams and at our old place and now the Kohl. And we used to have a hockey team once...they even beat the Gophs from time to time


We will see what the future holds. I hope for the best- I have to, because I live here, I'm from here, and for family reasons I can't leave.
