What are you talkin' about, IJdo? If you're looking for a disaster
at the 2008 Milwaukee Olympics, you're more likely to wind up with
a miasmic beer fart rising up over the Miller brewery.

How about a "Drug Olympics"? I'll be in it too. Maybe I won't win Gold
(I'm getting a bit old, despite what the Head Librarian says) but I
reckon I could put on a respectable showing. Brilliant idea, actually...

Berlin hasn't been a host since 1936. It is time. Those
buxom wenches may still be attainable.

Given that the morons opposing the stadium fail to grasp the
economic signifigance of pro-ball in Milwaukee, why would they
view the Olympics as anything other than a potential two-week
traffic jam?

It just won't be Milwaukee like unless someone lights the torch via

already do this in 2000.

It's not about the state of baseball, it's about money and jobs and
the future of the Milwaukee area as a thriving metroplex. And Bud
Selig is no more responsible than the other grasping owners and
the greedy players themselves for the current state of baseball.

I'd happily send the lot of them to Japan, but as long as there are
fools willing to part with hard-earned money for tickets, Milwaukee
should have a team.

The Safe House has be reserved in perpetuity for you wonderful
out-of town visitors (read: tourists). Goolsby's is okay, but without
at least one or two drunks passed out at the bar, it lacks the genuine
hometown feel.

A lot of you stayed in Milwaukee which meant it was nearly impossible
to get a hotel room but luck prevailed and I nabbed a room on a last minute
cancellation so I was able to go to the State Fair and do Saz's ribs and
catch that great act, Pork and the Havana Ducks. GenCon simply paled
in comparison.

How about Club Garibaldi on Superior St. just south of the Hoan
Bridge? Funny thing is that it was a big hangout for the Serbs
who didn't want to drive all the way to Serb Hall: some guy who
looked like Marshal Tito's dad talked me into drinking my first
(and last) shot of slivovitz there.

I suppose that an overweight guy in a cheesehead hat should be the
official mascot of the 2008 Milwaukee Olympics, but I think careful
consideration should be given to a large contaminated State Fair
creampuff (anyone else remember the State Fair of err 1979?). To make
it more up to date, the contamination could be cryptosporidium. Just a
thought.

And where would you have them held? West Allis? I don't think the
Summerfest grounds are big enough, though the lake'll do the water
events nicely.

If they did go to Milwaukee, though, I'd be glad... it'd just give me
another reason to visit "home." =]
