Once again, I propose that a citywide holiday be declared for Wednesday and that all bars open early. Does anyone know what kind of odds the bookies are giving? Does anyone know where I can place a bet?

Meanwhile, over at the Racine Post they reported that Mayor Dickert had an ear infection and that story has generated 53 comments thus far: http://news.racinepost.com/2010/02/mayor-dickert-fully-recovered-from.html

And the Judge said, “90 days, when you’re hot you’re hot”...

Unfortunately, I am sticking with my original prediction,

3 years in prison - stayed
Time previously spent
Time spent in Rehab
Time spent wearing a “bracelet”
3 year extended supervision.

We walks with the extended supervision

I'm sure that the TV station trucks with their satellite transmitters will be parked on Wisconsin Ave Wednesday. Might be an opportunity to make money for a day. Sell "programs" or something. Hot Dog Guy should get the cart out. Too bad the steps aren't done on the courthouse or a performance could be staged there. Maybe a musical number or a short morality play. I think there's room for that, though, in front of the Law Enforcement Center's entrance.

The question should be...is this his first experience into the world of perversion or does he have victims?

Oh boy...I hope you guys are wrong, but, unfortunately, I think you are hitting it right on the money.
