Family of Slain UW-Madison Student Sues 911 Operator, Dane County

The family of Brittany Zimmermann is suing Dane County and the 911 Operator who handled a call from Zimmermann's cell phone the afternoon she was murdered.

 

The 21-year-old UW-Madison junior was found April 2 by her fiance slain in the West Doty Street apartment they shared.  The federal lawsuit dated Thursday alleges "under-trained operator Ri...

"If DeeDee has gone catatonic and hasn't shut her eyes since yesterday, none of us knock her over just for fun."

Ahh, that timeless crack house humor.

Obama Leads McCain in "Battleground" Wisconsin

Obama Leads McCain in "Battleground" Wisconsin

Normally I'd say polls shmolls...well, I wouldn't really say anything that lame, though the sentiment fits...but it's interesting that Obama holds a double-digit lead over McCain in Wisconsin, considered a "battleground" state in November.

 

The inaugural poll by the UW-Madison Department of Political Science/WisPolitics.com--taken immediately a...

This Old Crack House

This Old Crack House

Madison police busted a burglary ring connected to a crack house on Greenway View. 

 

They also released a barrage of charming photos.  Ever wonder what crackheads keep in the icebox?  Tater tots apparently.  Midafternoon snacking options?  Celery or a nice bell pepper.  Healthy crackheads.  The vile photos are enough to scare any kid straight. ...

Thank God Almighty a Concession at Last

Thank God Almighty a Concession at Last

At last, indeed.

 

Mainly because I can't take any more of the vultures expert pundit panels endlessly picking apart the lifeless Clinton campaign's hypothetical next move on 24-hour cable news. Consider the dead horse in this horse race good and beaten.

 

Side note. This is perhaps blasphemous coming from someone who aspires to be part of the n...

UW to Admit About 500 Wait-Listed Students, Up From Zero Last Year

UW to Admit About 500 Wait-Listed Students, Up From Zero Last Year

Good news for wait-listed students.

There were a record 25,123 applicants who applied for the fall 2008 semester--12, 500 of which were initially admitted, just under half.  By late May about 5,500 freshman had committed to UW-Madison.  To achieve its target goal, the university will use the wait list.

The wait list was not used at all last ye...

Never Too Early to Plan Summerfest Debauchery

Never Too Early to Plan Summerfest Debauchery

The final acts slated for the Summerfest 2008 lineup were recently announced.

The event known as the "World's Largest Music Festival" kicks off June 26 in Milwaukee and wraps up on July 6.  For your convenience (and because I'm nice like that) I sifted through the tediously slow (at the moment at least) site and below are some of the acts rocki...

Madison Named One of Friendliest Cities in America

Madison Named One of Friendliest Cities in America

                                          A beautiful shot of the Madison isthmus.

Some nice press for Madison following media scrutiny over three unsolved murders over the past year is a welcome change.  And we are just so freakin' friendly here in Wisconsin's capitol city.  Madison was named one of "The 5 friendliest cities in America" by Tod...

Looks Like Half-Votes for Seated Florida Delegates, Michigan Outcome Unclear

Looks Like Half-Votes for Seated Florida Delegates, Michigan Outcome Unclear

               The DNC Rules & Bylaws Committee meets in Washington, D.C. Saturday.

As a nerd who's been watching the at times contentious but mostly cordial debate most of the morning, and right now actually, my guess is that half-votes will be granted to the Florida delegates.

Florida Sen. Bill Nelson made the case to seat the delegates and ...

Booze + Phone Call + Tiny Scooter + Tuxedo Shirt = Safe Ride

Booze + Phone Call + Tiny Scooter + Tuxedo Shirt = Safe Ride
If you see a tuxedo shirt wearing tool cruising past you on a tiny scooter, cut the guy some slack.

It's the uniform of Bender Defenders drivers, who transport the inebriated masses and their cars home to help squiffy bar patrons avoid drunk driving, and having to leave their vehicle behind.  The toolish attire makes it easier to recognize them
