WI: DNR refuses federal directive to close parks Read more from JSOnlin
Snippets:
Quote:
The state Department of Natural Resources on Wednesday refused a directive from the National Park Service to close a host of popular state properties because of the federal government shutdown.

The park service ordered state officials to close the northern unit of the Kettle Moraine, Devil's Lake, and Interstate state parks and the state-owned portion of the Horicon Marsh, but state authorities rebuffed the request because the lion's share of the funding came from state, not federal coffers.
Quote:
The agency also reopened a boat launch Wednesday at Wyalusing State Park on the Mississippi River. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service closed the launch on Tuesday because it was on federal land.

But in a sign of defiance, the DNR removed the barricades at the landing, saying it had the legal authority to operate the launch under a 1961 agreement with the federal government.
Full story here.

Fascinating. Isn't Wisconsin one of those "Blue States"? (Good on them!)

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

Sir, it is the most wham-boozling demographic you never wanna see. 2 major metro areas (with hands out, palms up) who could elect current POTUS x2. And the same state fills both pieces of the legislature and the governor's chair with conservatives. (Governor x2 also cause he got a bigger majority in the recall than he was elected by.) Toss out US Sen. Russ Feingold and elect TP-favorite Ron Johnson; then turn around & elect Tammy Baldwin to the Senate also. It's the dangdest thing.

But once you get out of downtown Milwaukee or the Centers of Academia & Hankie-Wringing in Madison, it's pretty much folks just want to be let alone.
