Apparently unsweetened cranberry juice is too tart for the mass market.<br /><br />And even what companies like Minute Maid / Coca-cola try to pass off as "apple juice" is dubious at best - drinking those chemical tasting concoctions does not bring to mind any kind apple I have ever eaten.Anon Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08104701158693144160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-24676733739090981512009-09-23T10:14:46.960-05:002009-09-23T10:14:46.960-05:00Anon Jim shows he loves his wisecracks, but does n...Anon Jim shows he loves his wisecracks, but does not read this blog carefully.<br /><br />While I think Gov. Doyle has been a good Governor, I have not hesitated to criticize him or his departments when I think the policies are wrong.<br /><br />Too much road-building. No DNR work on rules ti implement the Great Lakes Compact. <br /><br />Misdirected efforts to weaken air quality standards in SE Wisconsin.<br /><br />But there has been great work expanding the Stewardship Fund for open space acquisition. <br /><br />Solid progress on high-speed rail. <br /><br />And he has fought the Right on Voter ID and gay rights, and helped deal with a bad national economy by aggressively bringing in stimulus funding<br /><br />You never get everything you wantin politics, and I'd rather have had Doyle in office than any of the GOP's candidates.James Rowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10203270946492159686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-72548219206038905052009-09-23T07:58:45.418-05:002009-09-23T07:58:45.418-05:00Wow - guess Jim Doyle doesn't quite walk on wa...Wow - guess Jim Doyle doesn't quite walk on water as you you usually portray him.<br /><br />And Matt Frank - is that the guy who was in charge of collecting DNA (or not as it turns out) while the Corrections Secretary.<br /><br />Sounds like Matt is another par for the course incompetent Wisconsin bureaucrat.Anon Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08104701158693144160noreply@blogger.com
