On End the game of chicken NOW! When? How?

Badgerlvr, that's true, however, that still doesn't answer the question to why this is the House Republican's fault. They did their due diligence and had their solution on the table with plenty of time for discussion. The way the Senate passed their version and then left town in a haste shows they weren't worried about the American people, they were worried about politics.

So, why is this the House Republican's fault. They passed their payroll tax cut solution more than ten days ago. It was the Senate Democrats that decided to wait until there was virtually no time left on the clock to sign off on their solution to which they knew there was going to be opposition, then they bolt out of town. Gee, that sounds eerily familiar. But somehow that got missed in the reports.

On Wis. engine maker to pay bonuses to 1,200 workers

Why can't people take it for what it is. A bonus, nothing more, nothing less. They received it because the company was able to afford it. It wasn't setup to be a PR scheme. The PR was a side note to the bonus. Without the bonus, no PR. Seems as though some would rather the jobs would have been moved down south, than to forfeit some benefits and wages. It be interesting to know how some of the employees feel. I'm sure there are still those who are chaffed, but I'll bet there are a whole lot that are thankful for a job, and the bonus too.

The most profound part of this article has to be the last two paragraphs. He is a narcissistic megalomaniac, if there ever was one. Imagine what he could build if he allowed someone to help.

Those of you in the "System", make sure you kiss the ring. For King Javon has granted you the opportunity to labor in his kingdom.

badgerlvr, you're wrong in stating that redistricting did not occur. The issue was there was a split House and Senate in Wisconsin that year and they could not agree on the redistricting plan, so a federal court laid the redistricting plans for the state that year.

On Weekend filled with sports but tainted with greed?

Posted on September 30 at 11 a.m. ( Suggest removal )

It's understandable to be hacked off at people for selliing tickets at an outlandish price, if it means you won't be able to go because it's now priced out of your league. But don't label them as greedy. Tell me that you wouldn't think about selling your tickets if someone came up and offered you $200.00-$300.00 or more over face value. Oh, and by the way, if you feel the university should pay these athletes, fine. Then don't forget if you do pay them, you are then in direct competition with the professional sports franchises and that's a whole other discussion.

On Should school board grant raises?

Once again John E is nothing more than a clanging gong. Why do you agree? Just because? And as for the "Schulte fears that if the district doesn’t keep up with pay equal to duties, workers will flee to jobs elsewhere". Correct me if I'm wrong, but all I have heard for years is how underpaid and unappreciated the teachers in Janesville are, but I have yet to see the mass exodus from the disenfranchised group in the education trade. If these non-union individuals who may not get a raise this year, choose to leave, I guarantee there will be 100 or more people happy to take their place. Welcome to the real world, where if your company doesn't have the funds to give out raises, you don't get one.

He's the attitude the Brewers have been lacking for a long time. It's one thing to be cocky, but it ain't cocky if you can back it up.
