K Street Washington lobbyist, GOP corruption king, and all-around sleezy guy, Jack Ambramoff was sentenced to four more years in prison today.
He was shown some leniency for cooperating with the FBI to take down other corrupt GOPers like former Rep. Bob Ney, R-Ohio, former Deputy Interior Secretary J. Steven Griles and many top Capitol Hill assistants.
And like a good jailbird, he's gonna sing! Jackie boy's forthcoming book is due for publication later this month.
The title?
"The Perfect Villain: John McCain and the Demonization of Lobbyist Jack Abramoff."
My, oh my.
UPDATE: A warning, the book could be written to make McCain look like a savior, a fighter of lobbyist corruption. That would make Rovian sense. I have written the publisher to request an advance copy for reporting purposes. Stay tuned!

WASHINGTON — A free trip to New York and a ticket to attend the first game of the World Series in 2003: Priceless.

Where WAS Uppity Wisconsin this morning?From: uppitywis.org Post Date: 2008-03-28 08:52:49
Just to let you all know where we were this morning -
We run in a set of servers in Minneapolis that is in a normally very reliable co-location site. This morning they seem to have had a huge power failure in the datacenter which took out almost all of their customers out. And our servers seem not to work very well without power for some reason.
Anyway, after a somewhat crazy morning of scrambling (and a LOT of coffee) out here in Cruiskeen Lawn/Uppity Wisconsin land, things ... more  Power2ChangeFrom: uppitywis.org Post Date: 2008-03-26 07:56:28 The Sierra Club has started a new campaign for responsible energy policy called Power2Change .

Who knew?
It wasn't until Mike Nichols, the Journal Sentinel's Ozaukee/Washington County columnist, pointed it out that it became obvious.
Nichols's column appeared almost two weeks ago, but I was afraid if I wrote about it earlier that the Butler campaign would quit working, knowing that his election on April 1 is inevitable.

Last year, in a program promoted by the World Wildlife Fund and Sydney, Australia, Sydney turned off all of its lights for one hour. The effort was an attempt to draw attention to responsible energy use and the issue of global warming.
This year the WWF is asking us to do so around the world. An hour of darkness doesn't seem too much to ask. If you'd like to participate, turn off your lights between 8 and 9 PM on Saturday, your own local time. Learn more from the Earth Hour we... more
