But would you rather be beaten by a gun and die or shot with a pipe and die?

If I would die either way, then let me be shot with the pipe.
Very few pipes are able to shoot bullets of any caliber. I think I would enjoy
the fleeting novelty of being shot by a pipe much more than the more
mundane and, presumably more lengthy and painful, process of being beaten
to death with a gun.

Well one thing is for sure, unless he screws up somehow he'll be Milwaukee's Mayor for life. He might even get a statue someday.

Indeed, he's sitting pretty good right now.

Oddly enough, this past weekend WI Gov. Doyle (probably one of the most corrupt state-heads in the nation) announced he won't be running for re-election. In 2002 Doyle BARELY beat Barrett in the Democrat primary. How that plays out will be interesting.

Personally, I vow to bust my ass to get him out of office unless he stops acting like an idiot with the Bucks.

I was never a huge fan of Barrett, but I have to tip my hat to him for this. He did the right thing and paid a serious price for it, although it looks like he'll be fine.

As for Doyle leaving, good riddance. It'll be interesting to see who replaces him. None of the current declared candidates are real stars, although if Tommy Thompson throws his hat into the ring it's all over.
