I'm watching a little DNC coverage on MSNBC, and I just heard this gem from Chris Matthews: Obama has become the first African-American ever nominated by a major political party in just about any major country. In what other country would an African-American - or any American - be nominated? I realize it's live tv, and everyone is a little excited, but maybe thinking about the words that come out of your mouth before they actually come out isn't a bad idea.
Posted to OnMilwaukee.com this morning, a story about Steve Glynn's "Spreenkler" initiative. In the August edition of Milwaukee Magazine, a sidebar profile on Michael Zirbel's work with Habitat for Humanity and the Habitat HomeStore in Waukesha. Also in Milwaukee Magazine, Chris Chuzzles' band Disguised As Birds gets a photo+shoutout in an article on the rock scene in town. Their new CD is available now. Senator Cody's website was hit with a deluge of traffic when he was linked to from a "national liberal blog". Finally, if this guy keeps losing weight, there will be nothing left - which means he defaults in our ongoing battle for supremacy on the greens.
