10:20 AM: After a few bouts with the wireless her at Marquette Law School we are online. We are into the first discussion on the effects of blogs on the 06 and 08 Campaigns. Brian Fraley is making a stand for a significant effect. OpEd boards are no longer important, they are already written off. I don’t know if that is spot on on but it is moving in that directions. I still am stunned at Ed Garvey and some of the lefties insisting the mainstream media is part of the vast right wing conspiracy. Seriously. …

10:22 AM: DRS: Well good morning, bright and early on Saturday morning. Rather than studying for the law school exams next week, I’m sitting here next to Brandon at a blog summit. And for the record, everyone in the room is showered, shaved, and not wearing their pajamas.

Looking around the room, lots of familiar faces. In addition to all the bloggers in the room, Dean/Professor Rofes of the Law School is here, and one pol: John Gard and his lovely wife Cate are here, cultivating relationships with the blogs; they are here for Alumni Awards Weekend receiving the Friends of the School of Dentistry Award.

Interesting panel … John Kraus is giving Charlie credit for shaping how the Journal Sentinel approaches the news; he really does serve as a conduit for Walker, Clarke, and others to email him a statement and from there it goes to MJS. Read more »

Conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh referenced a Gop3.com post in today’s Global Warming Update.

“This is from GOP3.com, a website: “Alternative Fuel Subsidies Cause Sober Germans, Starving Mexicans, More Pollution. — ‘Poor Mexicans rely on tortillas for their diet. And a lot of other poor people in a lot of other places rely on other foodstuffs made from corn. The problem is ethanol.’” We’ve told you about this. ”

“Now government subsidies for alternative fuels have caused a sobering increase in the cost of beer in Germany due to the unnatural shrinkage of barley production,” over there. “Why is barely production lower and beer more expensive? The farmers are switching production so they can get more government alternative fuel subsidies,” because if they plant all this rotgut that’s needed for these alternative fuels, they get more subsidies, more payments from the government. By the way, all this is leading to even more pollution! “The hyperbolic environmental soothsayers on the left and in the media have swayed our government into investing large sums of money into these technologies that have turned out to be counterproductive. When will we learn to trust the market? Shareholders and private citizens are best left alone to judge the correct production of a good, the heavy hand of the government only serves to distort the market and destroy any progress towards the end goal.”

Thank you Mr.Limbaugh and welcome Rush listeners!

A blast from the past to get fired up for 2008. This CNN Inside Politics footage is from the 2004 elections (aired on 10/29/04) and details student activism on Marquette University’s campus. Special thanks to Melissa Lopez for pulling it from the archives (and being a driving force for the CRs as part of the leadership team at that time).

Gop3.com would like to extend a warm welcome to our newest blogger, Katie Wycklendt. Katie is a sophomore in the College of Business Administration at Marquette pursuing majors in Accounting, Finance, International Business and Spanish. She is a native Wisconsinite who also studied abroad in Spain last semester and blogged about her experiences (ranging from their socialist president’s mistakes to giving a cost breakdown of her stay) at Me in Madrid. Welcome Katie!
