Surrounded By Reality

Madison, WI has been described as "43 square miles of land surrounded by reality". Actually, I think it's 77...... Being a Madison native I liked this title. Agree or disagree, the important thing is to get involved and learn what's going on and how it affects you..

Well, when Senator Ted Stevens goes to jail the spigot will be turned off....

How much money did #1 get? Look at the party column-see who's pushing the pork.....

Hmmm, I thought it's the Democrats responsible for all that spending....

Alaska even has an award winner....

Perhaps Ms. Palin was able to do such a good job with her budget because the other 49 states were financing projects that SHOULD have been funded by the Alaska State Government..

The Alaska Legislative Journal is also an interesting read and a different perspective....
