Let this be a lesson, J/S advertisers. Pay for your damn banner ads.

Dear Job Noggin: We told you to have that next round of $40K in unmarked bills sitting next to the green trash can at Red Arrow Park by 5:00 this afternoon. See what happens when you don’t listen?

We’ll learn you folks up real good. Sincerely, your friends in the Banner Advertising Department at Journal Communications.

Would you like us to publish a database of “who makes what” at Job Noggin? We can, you know. We’re the J/S, dammit. We’ll teach you to screw with us.

I challenge you to read this paragraph and not imagine banjos playing in the background

This story has to be made up. This has to be one of those stories they keep archived and ready to go live with on a slow news day. It’s possible this is even one of those stories they buy from a content provider and just plug “locals” names into; I’m not convinced you could find people this dumb interesting south of Highway 10. Because if this actually - and that’s a huge if - happened, it would be the strangest story to come out of a Wisconsin county other than Sheboygan in quite some time:

“When they came up they said to me, ‘Well, guess what we shot?’ And I’m thinking duck. And he goes, ‘No, think bigger,’ ” Herb Sagan said. “And I’m thinking you idiots didn’t shoot a deer. I was like I’m going to smack you if you did. And he goes, ‘No, no, think teeth.’ I’m like OK, you shot a coyote. ‘No.’ A wolf? And he goes, ‘Think Louisiana,’ and I’m like, snake? He goes ‘No, we shot a gator,’ and I said BS.”

Someone at the Journal/Sentinel got paid to write this paragraph. Wow. That’s almost as unbelievable as the story itself.

On a day when it was announced that troop and civilian casualties in Iraq are at their lowest in 15 months, and the DJIA closed at another record high, this is what the J/S believes to be news. Go figure.

This is a surprise, O’Keefe withdraws as MPD chief candidate

Does he believe that someone has been chosen already?

Me too

Seems that every Conservative blogger is anxiously awaiting their copy of Clarence Thomas’ book, My Grandfathers Son.

I found it not at all surprising that Milwaukee’s WNOV radio’s Buck Naked Truth show (the replacement to McGee’s show) mocked this book and Thomas talking about how he was and Uncle Tom and is bowing and scrapping to the white “massa’s” like Antonin Scalia. It was just disgusting… But not surprising from them.
