Letters...........we get letters
In my Week-ends blog earlier today, I quoted my friend Christian Schneider.
He used to work in the Capitol and now works for the Wisconsin Policy Research Institute. Christian is also a very clever blogger.
He wrote two great blogs this week about the crazy letters from constituents he saw when he worked as a legislative aide.
These blogs are in the "must-read" category. As Christian points out, remember, these people are asking for help that requires your tax dollars.
Great work, Christian!
Now that's the Christmas spirit!
Elderly woman loses cash, and lots of it.
It happens in a freak accident.
Complete strangers hear about her bad luck.
Yes, there is a happy ending, two of them to be exact.
Nice story.
Alvin hits the big screen
When I blogged about Alvin and the Chipmunks earlier today, I had no idea about this.Might be cute for the kids, but why do I fear a classic is about to be ruined…

From the WX department: Deja vu
WTMJ's John Malan writes in his weather column today:
"If Dec. 1 makes you think snowstorm for some reason, it could be based on your recollection of last year's blizzard in southeast Wisconsin. The snowstorm started around 3 a.m., and the worst snow fell before 3 p.m. Blizzard conditions occurred between 6 a.m. and 11 a.m. in Milwaukee, Racine and Kenosha counties., with northerly winds of 35-40 mph and visibilities reduced from zero to one-quarter of a mile.
Kenosha picked up 17 inches of new snow, Milwaukee had 10 inches, Waukesha received 12 inches and West Bend a little less, with 8 inches of drifting snow."
To be honest, I really don't remember any of what John Malan is writing about. I was in Florida that day.
