Eight Is Enough

We interrupt our scheduled post on the genuinely moving experience we had at the Pabst Theatre viewing party last night to bring you this brief editorial:

That's your counter-programing? A woman with just over a year in state(*) government and a severely northwestern decorating style?

(*) I know a lot of people forget that Alaska is a state, but it is. We bought it from Russia in 1867 for 2 cents an acre. In the late 1950's, when anything remotely Russian was hung (or at least prevented from writing screenplays), we made Alaska a state. Now they build useless bridges, fill the ocean with oil, and deplete the world of salmon and trees. While Alaska is the largest state in the union, it has only 12% of the population of Wisconsin, with the state's enitre population roughly equal to Milwaukee's.
