Alrighty then.

100,000 Wisconsinites stand for hours in the cold last Saturday and get the mass media special: a near news blackout.

Now to add insult to injury, (in my case, frost bite) I see some Wisconsin “coverage” from FOX features thuggish behavior in front of palm trees.

It is at moments like these that I long for the days of the 3 big networks, with their boring old news anchors like David Brinkley. They at least did a passable job of just reporting facts from pieces of paper, and they never tried to make me see Wisconsin palm trees.

At moments like this, what I really feel like doing is shipping a train container or two full of Wisconsin ice and snow to the good people of FOX. Or better yet, how friendly it would be for us to host a small retreat for them in some fishing shacks on icy Lake Mendota. Yeah-I know that’s not good fishing over there. But I don’t want to give them too much excitement. They’ve had enough.

Oh hell. Well, elaborate plans aside, here: let’s watch that “FOX lies” guy to cheer ourselves up.
