A second high up Walker administer is running an add against walker and his corrupt government stating he has instructed his staff to ignore open record requests. "I thought Scott Walker was different but he is just another politician looking out only for himself" he says .
Just reporting the news.

We decided to check out the new bowling ally in Columbus, Fast Lanes, to see what they have to offer and were pleasantry pleased. VERY pleased
Walking in we are greeted at the door and shown to a table. The large florescent lite room we all remember adorned like we were on campus at the UW. Sort of odd but they are a sports bar type place.
It's not a romantic place to take a date but a very nice family restaurant with an extensive menu. SADLY, it is rumored that they only offer is 1/2 pound burgers which is a crime and a National Security breach. Americans are getting fat on 1/2 pound burgers and we will not be able to run when the Russians come. The menu didn't specify the size but waitstaff THOUGHT it was 1/2 pound . . but they were still learning where tables were and how to put an order in on their computer thingys so . . . . LOL first night open is always a pain.
DJ ordered a chicken quesadilla and I ordered something I have never ordered before, an Italian sandwich. It's not that I don't LIKE Italian sandwiches it's just that I normally order a burger, but not a half pound gut buster of which I toss 1/3 of the last half out (quick, how much is that?). I gotta keep my girly man figure you know.
They have 21 tap beers ($3.50 for craft, $2,50 for domestic) and a few other things like root beer and cans of beer.
The Italian sandwich is actually a french dip which was REALLY good. In fact one of the better ones I have ever had. IN FACT - One of the better sandwiches I have ever had in Columbus. I got the garlic mash potato side dish but they were a little bland compared to the Italian, not a good combination. DJ said they were good. The chicken quesadilla was "just right" for DJ.
The only hiccup was the waitstaff who were still getting used to the computer tablets for ordering and the servers who had no clue where the tables were. OH - they could FIND the tables, just not the right ones. They would just wonder around sort of lost, hoping someone would say "that's mine" (which is what I did and we all laughed). Waitstaff was full of humor and we loved them for it
Very good food, atmosphere was what it was, a family style meeting room restaurant with outdoor seating.
The ambient noise from the bar/bowling alley/juke box was fine and subdued and not ever too loud.
Next the the large dining "room" are a few overpriced pin ball machines $1, a few games and pool tables.
Next to that is the bar with the many taps and more booths for eating and so forth. Lower lighting and we might eat there next time. Plenty of TVs to watch sports (33 I think?) and the bowling alley.
Then next to the alleys is The Game Room
where everything seems to be 1 quarter and kids of all ages will have a blast (I did) but no tickets to get garbage toys. Just high scores. Nice Plaza-like Hockey game for a quarter though.
Overall I think they did a great job and I can see Fast Lanes stealing customers only from teh downtown dive bars if they make the place dirtier and dingy but that is about it. Family Restaurant and The Apple Tree will not see a drop in customers. Cercis is a different style drinking place.
The place will do well.
Bravo Fats Lanes.
NOW we need James Street Pizza to open up in 2 Fridays

Speaking of money making ideas - Did you see what my cannabis stock has been doing? Seems when Corona invests $4 BILLION into you company it helps the stock price. That happened last Wednesday and the stock prices has been moving up ever since. Nearing a 50% increase since Wednesday.
Corona is betting the farm in cannabis beer and said the $4 BILLION was just the beginning. They yesterday the company announced they were selected as an approved supplier for Ontario Cannabis to supply over 100 products Canada wide. What this does is make CGC the #1 supplier of everything cannabis in Canada.
Like I have been saying - if America had only one beer company after prohibition would you not want to invest in them?
HOWEVER - they have not made one dime yet so . . . . so VERY speculative. 8 weeks until Canada is legal.
With that said - we have a big trip to Quebec City in 5 weeks - bad timing :-)

The Eagles Greatest Hits 1971-1975 is not the #1 selling album of all time surpassing Thriller.
I have never liked the Eagles, more of a heavy rocker. I like song here and there but that is it. No fake California music from musicians from the mid west for me.

Who is the statistically BEST NFL team in the draft since 1999? Green Bay Packers. The worst? Cleveland. In FACT if Cleveland had "auto-drafted" they would be MUCH better.
Long article that I have not had time to read yet fully yet.

There is a Ted Talks episode that is about the poor.
Poverty is NOT a lack of character, it’s a lack of cash.
Being a friend of someone who is 300% below poverty I found it interesting. I know I have always been pissed at Elweed for not thinking ahead to get himself OUT of poverty but the thing is - Poverty creates MORE poverty.
If you are impoverished everything is for surviving NOW. Not thinking ahead to next year. You do what you have to survive NOW.
Helping the poor with cash will start the process of getting OUT of poverty. Conservatives say - MAKE them work by taking away benefits as they are just lazy. Liberals say - help them by giving them benefits - this will change their way of living slowly and get them out of poverty.
Statistics say THAT is the correct way. YES - some people in poverty take advantage of the rules and cheat. Well, how many "rich" people take advantage of the rules and cheat. I bet about the same percentage.
RIGHT?
