In Walker's World, A 14-Year Miss Is A Bullseye

Walker uses Twitter to claim credit on the jobs' front, but fails to own up to his sixth-straight month of net job losses, or that his signature campaign pledge to create 250,000 new jobs by 2015 would be met - - using the figures he touts on Twitter - by 2029.

Try missing a deadline by 14 years with, say, the IRS, your bail bondsman, or wedding planner.

Now certainly things can take time but it is just ridiculous. Wisconsin is doing worse than the nation since the budget was passed. But he's still out there saying it's working... oh boy

600 jobs in Superior? Maybe 5 years from now? $100 million dedicated towards this project by Walker?

I used to cover aviation issues at the Old Journal. So-called General Aviation is a very risky business. Litigation, insurance and the overall economy makes any new, small-plane venture very very tenuous.

There has been talk of companies making small, flying SUV's, but fuel prices, fewer fliers and aging boomers ruled it out.

I wouldn't bet on it.
