Let's give em something to talk about.

Sarah & Todd's 17 year old daughter Bristol Palin is 5 months pregnant. The announcement was made today in an effort to ward off the rumor mill.

Bristol is planning on having this child, (thank God!) and is planning on getting married to the father of the child, Levi.

"Bristol and the young man she will marry are going to realize very quickly the difficulties of raising a child, which is why they will have the love and support of our entire family. We ask the media, respect our daughter and Levi's privacy as has always been the tradition of children of candidates,"

This was not a surprise to the McCain campaign officials. They decided to announce the pregnancy right away due to many of the liberal blogs having a field day. Their stories have been an attempt to destroy the McCain/Palin campaign in typical dirty politics.

Palin has given the republican party a fresh breath of hope. According to Gallup Daily, Obama's lead over McCain has slightly narrowed from 8% to 6%. The latest Gallup poll, out today shows the 48% to 42% picks.
She sure is given them something to talk about.

about Sarah Palin

I always find it amazing how many people enter into the Autumn of election years not knowing the candidates. I mean more than 'bad media' or negative advertising. What do they stand for? How do they vote? and How does their stands measure up to what is important to the voter?

I hope this helps.

What a day

I returned to Harley Fest again yesterday. We couldn't get over what fantastic weather we had. Everyone seemed to be having a great time. Did you get a chance to walk the streets and peek at some of those bikes? Now I'm not a biker, but WOW. There were some awesome bikes.

The Guess Who was fantastic! They came out for an encore which had the crowd roaring. No fancy lights, gimmicks, fireworks, costumes, just great music on a great afternoon.

From where I sit, the event went off really well. Great job to those involved.

It's a Great Day to be downtown Waukesha

It was awesome seeing so many locals enjoying the festivities with our guests, downtown yesterday. I was able to meet bikers from all over Wisconsin, across America, and overseas. New Zealand, Hong Kong, Germany, and Beloit... ya gotta love America.

Today even more is to be expected. If you haven't been yet, don't miss today.

• Farmer's Market will still go on from 7-12. Look across the river for fresh product AND Radio Disney!!
• Live music in Cutler Park (at the library) in the afternoon and evening.
• Vendor mall (by the river) with some great food from Ruggeri's www.RuggerisPasta.com, Pano's Char House www.PanosCharHouse.com, Bel Gusto's www.BelGustos.com, Silver Spur Texas Smokehouse www.SilverSpurBBQ.com.
• Plus, there are events at the Waukesha County Museum and the Waukesha Civic Theater today.

Yesterday was a great day and not uncomfortably crowded. Today should be even better. I know we had a blast.

My morning Latte'

In the headlines today:

• Two Milwaukee women were arrested in Waukesha on Tuesday for 'working as escorts without a permit'. Let that be a lesson to all you Milwaukee prostitutes. Get your stink'n papers in order before you decide to sell your bodies, minds, and souls to us Waukeshaians. Don't you know we check for that stuff??? By the way, that brings the number of these arrests to 19 since MARCH!!!
• Kudos to the Waukesha county Metropolitan Drug Enforcement Unit. They won the 'Investigation of the Year award by a state drug officers association'. Great job cleaning up our streets. By the way, the major arrests were made as a result from a 'tip'. Let's keep our eyes open Waukesha. This isn't the military... We ask, we tell!
• Flight for Life has new headquarters at our very own Crites Field. The public is invited to their open house Sept. 6 from 10-12 at their new hanger. http://www.freemanol.com/ for all above articles.
• One less name is McCain's VP name list: Pawlenty indicates he's not McCain's veep choice
• I missed this game, only peeked on occasion but it looked close: Titans 23, Packers 21: Reserves leave plenty in question.
• Now here's a BIG surprise: Slow construction may limit taxes. Yawn.
• Did you know about this? School bus offers safe, eco-friendly transportation Maybe I just never wanted to think about it, which is why I was blown away to learn that the average school bus get about 7 miles to the gallon.
