Video: “Walker’s critics celebrate, supporters reminisce …”

Despite having no more than a few hours notice of the 5PM press conference announcing Walker’s drop out from the presidential campaign, protesting Wisconsinites were ready, able, and willing to serenade Wisconsin’s delusional governor. This TMJ4 footage includes just a SNIPPET of protest singing. This brief broadcast also includes snippets from Wisconsinites who do not more »

Gawker seeks details on “a very bad story” connected with Scott Walker

It seems that both Republican communications operative Liz Mair and a writer with Buzzfeed are hinting about either the same scandalous story or differing stories that is/are related to Scott Walker – but neither is releasing the details to the public. Frustrating. Gawker is asking readers to help spill the beans completely. Gawker is providing more »

Wisconsin State Journal only employs white people

I’m embarrassed that I’m so late to the party on this issue. I learned this yesterday and promptly felt like puking: “..the Wisconsin State Journal, the newspaper that proudly proclaims itself “Madison’s largest reporting team,” the second-largest newspaper in the state and the newspaper of record for our entire region, is an all-white newspaper.” SOURCE: more »

The backlash on Bernie Sanders begins!

Despite the fact that this [barely functioning] blog has tried to be Wisconsin-centric, I’m going to try to do some more posts to help people keep up on Bernie Sanders news. —————————————————-   It appears that the establishment and its candidates have decided to quit dismissing Bernie Sanders and start attacking Bernie Sanders.

If Walker could see past his enormous ego, he’d realize he’s in 7th place and has no chance

Scott Walker only has 2% in the latest national ABC poll. The average of Scott Walker’s national polls put him in 7th place according to Real Clear Politics. The Republican Party only needs 1 nominee to run for president. I suppose it’s very difficult for a megalomaniac to quit looking in the mirror long enough more »

Hertz 24/7 Pulling out of Orlando


Hertz 24/7 introduced hourly car rentals to Downtown Orlando in October 2013 with the help of two local partners. The City of Orlando and the Florida Department of Transportation joined forces to provide parking spaces and marketing support through the FDOT’s reThink program.

Approximately 400 people had signed up for free with Hertz 24/7 by June 2014. So, the City of Orlando identified three new parking spaces in hopes to increase visibility of the hourly rental cars, with the hope that more commuters and residents would take note and enroll with Hertz 24/7.

The locations with one car available are:
  • Ivanhoe Village District on N. Orange Avenue, just south of E. New Hampshire Street
  • S. Orange Avenue, just north of E. Amelia Street
  • N. Eola Drive, just south of Washington Street
The three locations with two cars available are:
  • Broadway Avenue, just north of Robinson Street
  • Eola Drive, just south of Central Boulevard
  • Parking Lot #10 under I-4, at Central Boulevard and Hughey Avenue
The three locations with one car available are:
  • Florida Hospital-Orlando
  • Alexander Place (site of the future Creative Village)
  • CNL Parking Garage behind City Hall
But now in September 2015, according to the Orlando Sentinel, the Hertz/24 service is being removed as the company shuts down the service across the country.
