Random bits

by Chris Lato

With the holidays right around the corner, this l’il blog will be going dark for a few days as I venture off to spend some quality time with the family.

But before I go, a couple little tidbits…

I’m late to the party on this one, but holy cow. The stuff being unearthed about spending at MPS will make your head hurt.  It makes one wonder how, in difficult economic times and with Milwaukee Democrats shut out of legislative leadership positions, whether this is going to be a real showdown in Madison in the coming weeks. I don’t know exactly how MPS can spin its way out of the massive pile of bad press it’s been getting. Something’s gotta give.

Man, the Cap Times has it in for Wisconsin’s newest Supreme Court Justice. The author seems to forget that when it comes to McCain-Feingold campaign finance law, groups on both sides of the political aisle were not fans of the law.

Was letting Brett Favre go to the Jets a mistake? After how things played out this week for the Pack and the Jets, it’s getting harder to argue that it wasn’t…despite the fact that Favre’s conduct surrounding the whole will-he-stay-or-will-he-go mess was thoroughly unbecoming.

Still, wins are wins. It is up to Packers management to make decisions that will win games. And right now, things aren’t looking promising for the Pack.

And, last but certainly not least, a colleague has a baby daughter hospitalized and struggling right now. Our thoughts are with him and his family – you can read more about it here.
