WI role model

1. Ch-Ch-Ch-Chia
Cool. The "Chia Pet" garage in Miami.

2. Shutterfly!

Hey, huzzah to Shutterfly!
They sent me a tasty $20 coupon via email because I bought stuff there before.
Not $20 if I buy $100 worth of stuff.
Not $20 off on some spa or cooking utensils.
No, just go buy something and take $20 off. Sweet.

Even before the 20 bucks, Shutterfly was the best in the business for photo stuff online.
So, thanks for the free photo coffee cups, Shutterfly. Excellent.

3. IL v. WI

Wisconsin is beating the stuffing out of Illinois these days. Sigh.

• The Packer routinely crush the Bear.
• The Brewer are a playoff team; the Cub are scrubs.
• Miss Wisconsin/America is hotter than Miss Illinois (williamt post)

Most importantly (I guess), Wisconsin is fiscally sound, whereas Illinois is a hot mess:

wsj - The Greece next door

While Gov Quinn raised taxes in IL 67%, IL has the worst credit rating in the nation.
Gov Walker took on the public service unions, cut spending, and WI is thriving.


Funny (weird, not ha ha) how President Obama is (sort of) from Illinois. In his 3 years, President Obama has led the country down the Illinois path with trillions of $$$ thrown into the bonfire and America's first credit downgrade in forever. President Obama's solution, like our Gov Quinn's... raise taxes and spend more.

Who'd a-thunk just a short few years ago that I'd be hoping that the country would follow Wisconsin's as a positive role model? Talk about upside down.
Oh well... cheese and porn for everyone!
yow, bill
