Rejoice therefore.

I'm in Wisconsin, and man do I wish we would be in the news for anything other than something our social cancer of a former governor did. :(

Last week I was watching some comedians on a cable show. Trying to avoid late night comedians because we're always the butt of jokes over there. In any case, it's on in the background and I'm sort of paying attention enough to follow. All of a sudden I hear, "Wisconsin!" Followed by the comedy club's audience laughing.

And I'm thinking to myself, "Man? Did a b-list comedian just tell a joke that featured 'Wisconsin' as not only the butt of the joke, but the punchline too?"

A new low.

Oh well, like my neighbor said this weekend, "There's always Florida!" So at least we're not at the bottom.



Can you summarize Wisconsin politics, I don't know anything about it.
