The only plausible path-at this point- for Democratic presumptive nominee Obama to beat Republican presumptive nominee McCain is to;1) Hold all the states that John Kerry won in 2004.2) Win any three of the following four States. Colorado (9 Electoral votes),Iowa (7), New Mexico (5) and Nevada (5).George W Bush won Colorado and Nevada in 2000 and all four in 2004. To be sure, the Republicans are vulnerable in all four- particularly Colorado. I wouldn't bet against John McCain winning 2 of the 4. However, Dems hopes to pick up at least the minimum 17 Electoral votes they need by bagging all 3, or even 26, for all 4 is contingent on precept #1- holding all the states John Kerry won.They won't. That is why they are going to lose this election. Rasmussen has shown Obama struggling all over Blu

The 'compromise' leading to expected Wisconsin legislative approval of the Great Lakes compact is starting to appear to be the demise of the Lakes, punching more loopholes in an already frayed agreement that can be exploited not only by cities outside the Great Lakes Basin, but also by commercial water barons... described, Jim Rowen. Since the Compact is essentially a water management agreement to conserve and protect the Great Lakes, substituting voluntary conservation measures statewide for mandatory conservation requirements is a huge, material change, and is certainly not in the state, or region, or Great Lakes' interest. But if the federal law is followed as the guiding standard until Congressional approval - - which could be years away, or never happen - - then there is no

Eleven schools in Wisconsin currently heat with biomass materials, and the state Secretary of Agriculture, Rod Nilsestuen, wants to see that number increase. He believes about one-third of the schools in the state would save money if they switched to biomass heating systems. School districts that need to replace boilers should look at biomass options. Implementing a biomass system would cost $500,000 to $1.5 million, which is comparable to a fuel boiler, stated Nilsestuen.  A Feasibility Study of Wisconsin Schools Heated with Wood, burning wood, switchgrass, or cornstalks creates less carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide than other options such as burning coal (PDF 1.96 MB) Download Adobe Reader .

The producers wanted a rhyme beginning with "Carnation Milk is best of all."She thought to herself, I know all about milk and dairy farms. I can do this! She sent in her entry, and several weeks later, a black limo pulled up in front of her house. A man got out and said, "Carnation LOVED your entry so much, we are here to award you $2,000

One of the very first acts performed by David Paterson as Governor of New York was to sign a law enacting the Great Lakes Compact, an agreement among all of the States and Canadian Provinces around the Great Lakes to protect the lakes from pollution, invasive species and covetous neighbors. To make a bad pun, it is a watershed agreement, an international coalition to protect one of the world's great resources. Except it has to be approved unanimously and Republican politicians in Wisconsin are playing games, sacrificing one of their greatest assets on the altar of cheesy politics. They don't like co-operating with neighbors- one state senator wrote "To relinquish our sovereignty to a regional body of governors that can make changes after the compact is adopted is unacceptable.

Here is a nifty little report on clemency in the State of Wisconsin. It says that, since 1987, more than 300 people have received pardons from the governor, with most of the offenses being drug-related and the average pardon appearing 20 years after the crime. One individual describes the State's clemency process as something like, "being a chicken breast, being flipped over on high flame." Bill Lueders of the Wisconsin Freedom of Information Council argues that pardon records should be online.
