Drunk-Toberfest!

Today is the start of Octoberfest in LaCrosse. Octoberfest in LaCrosse means beer and getting drunk. Not just drunk, totally wasted drunk. Unless of course you are a LaCrosse official or on the Octoberfest board, then it's call a family fest. This year there is something new at the fest.

New this year are bright green wrist bands with the aid station's address, to be distributed by college student volunteers and hotels. Visitors are encouraged to write important phone numbers and hotel information on their bracelets.

This way if you become totally wasted, loose your friends and personal identification someone will be able to help you. Our of course if you decide to really do it up big and drink till your unconsious someone will know where to deposit your body. Now that's proactive thinking! Great job guys, way to tackle that binge drinking problem. Problem solved! I'm not making this up, seriously! Only in Wisconsin!

Change is here!

Newt Gingrich, a Republican, served in the House from Georgia from 1978 and as House Minority Whip in 1989.
He was Speaker of the House from 1995 to 1999. During that time he never made use of military air craft.

Nancy Pelosi, Democrat from California, current Speaker of the House. The Pentagon provides the House speaker with an Air Force plane large enough to accommodate her staff, family, supporters, and members of the California delegation when she travels around the country.

But, Pelosi wanted routine access to a larger plane. It includes 42 business class seats, a fully-enclosed state room, an entertainment center, a private bed, state-of-the-art communications system, and a crew of 16. Pelosi wanted "carte blanche for an aircraft any time," including weekend trips home to San Francisco .. Pretty nice but very expensive perk! Her Air Force C-32 costs approximately $15,000 an hour or approximately $300,000 per trip home.

Tendrill!

Friday night I went to the Holmen/Logan football game. It was a great game, only because Holmen on. The it was off to the Northside Oasis to watch my son Lance and Tendrill rock the house. It was a fun night!

Finally something we can agree on

Q: Were your girls as hacked off as mine were that Kanye gave Taylor Swift the Joe Wilson treatment?

Obama: I thought that was really inappropriate. You know it was like she's getting an award -- why are you butting in? I, I hear you -- I agree with you.

Q: So does that count as the first question?

Obama: The young lady seems like a perfectly nice person. She's getting her award. What's he doing up there? He's a jackass. (Laughter)

Favre Retires!

Brett Favre has announced that he will retire
following the 2010 season with the Minnesota Vikings. The surprise
announcement came after the second day of practices with his new team,
and ended hours of speculation regarding the star's future following
his surprise signing on Tuesday. Sources close to Favre say he has
been considering retirement for quite some time.

Shocked teammates had mixed feelings about the announcement. "I'm
really going to miss him." said backup quarterback Tavaris Jackson.
"I've learned a lot - in fact, I think I might retire too." "It was
cool, like playing catch with my dad." said rookie receiver Percy
Harvin.. "But my dad's not that old, and he's got a better arm."

The newly acquired quarterback has scheduled a series of press
conferences set to coincide with the November sweeps and the Viking's
10th loss. A second set of press conferences is scheduled for February
through May to be aired exclusively on ESPN, who has bough the rights
to Favre's retirement press conferences through 2015.

According to the anonymous source, Favre has assembled a preliminary
list of teams he may be willing to retire from next season, including
the Washington Redskins, Oakland Raiders and Detroit Lions.
