Put em on the same elevator, and you'll exceed the weight limit.
There are LOTS of really wonderful folks who reside in Wisc--like Scout, for instance...and I think Schroeder mentioned he was brought up in America's Dairyland.
I spent the better part of a decade in Badger land myself, enjoying the all-too-brief summers, freezing half to death each dreadfully long winter, and eventually earning a square of parchment from the venerable U. I doubt I would've lasted more than a year or so without good friends...and the ubiquitous case of 12 oz. longneck returnable bottles (usually Huber, but, in better times, Leinenkugel, Point...or Capital Dark Lager).
But, just like the Gret Stet must live with Dollar Bill Jefferson, or Edwin "the lizard" Edwards, Wisconsin has folks like Joe McCarthy, Tommy Thompson...and "Tex" Sensenbrenner:
Representative F. James Sensenbrenner Jr. has no tolerance for illegal immigrants, either in his political life or personal life.
“My housekeeper in Wisconsin was born in Wisconsin,” says Mr. Sensenbrenner, the Republican congressman and chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. “My housekeeper here is a naturalized U.S. citizen from Nicaragua.”
Mr. Sensenbrenner is so loath to risk dealing with illegal immigrants that when his Cadillacs need cleaning, he prefers do-it-yourself car washes that require tokens. “They don’t have Montezuma’s picture on the front of them,” Mr. Sensenbrenner says of the tokens.
He is sitting in his Capitol Hill office dominated by two life-size portraits of himself.
Housekeepers...life-sized portraits of himself...Cadillacs...he's a regular "man of the people."
