From the August 14th Chicago Tribune by Mark Jacobs and Sreohan Benzkopher.
This came about because of the recall elections where the Tea Party unfortunately was not defeated enough to take away their majority. Good luck working man. The GRBs are in control.
1. Wisconsin is known as the BADGER STATE ot because of the animal, but because of miners in the 1800s who were nicknamed badgers because of their work underground.
2. Wisconsin had the DEADLIEST FIRE in American history, the Peshtigo Disaster in the Green Bay area which began on October 9, 1871, but it was overshadowed by the Great Chicago Fire taking place at the same time. About 250 died in Chicago while 1,200 lost their lives in Wisconsin and that figure very likely is twice as high.
3. The QWERTY keyboard layout was invented in Wisconsin. Christopher Sholes, a Milwaukee printer and inventor realized he could prevent his typewriter from jamming by separating the most popular keys.
