WisPolitics Budget Blog

If anyone scrolls back, you'll find I never write on Sundays; it's a religious thing with me.

However, I felt obligated to post a few items today, because whatever is written here, or at Xoff Files for that matter, is exponentially more entertaining than WisPolitics' Political Report.

And, I am on assignment for most of the week and unable to post.

Oh, bite me. Now there's a quote, bite me.

No more vanilla quotes in the Political Report...can I get a, I concur?
