It was Senator Lazich who tipped us off that she was available to be"dunked" today at the Muskego Community Festival.

If you have ever wanted to dunk a State Senator

I thought if I was in the area...I would stop by.




Senator Mary Lazich observes the dunk tank prior to her turn in the seat. 
For some reason there was a 15 minute delay.


Not soon after she got her butt in the hot seat, a big, burly man couldn't wait to purchase some balls and get her wet.  He warned her he would do so, and he did just that. 

Was he a Republican who had read Fred Keller's blog post on TABOR?  A Democrat?  Or just someone aware of his elected officials (he did know who Senator Lazich was).  Maybe I should have asked him.



Senator Lazich just before the first ball hits the target…notice she is
hanging on.  She didn’t want to get her hair wet.

Keep that head above water!  Just like in politics




Back in the seat.  Actually the Senator's family did their share of dunking
and she was a good sport and eventually her hair got wet.




I,  on the other hand, was not as lucky as Big Burly Man.  For the cause I took three shots and came close...and frustrated, because I like to get things done, I bought six more shots..but, I'm not one for throwing a ball, and while I came close a couple times, it just wasn't my day.

Or was it?  I did get to post these pictures  : )

Here's an idea...maybe we can help with Franklin's budget shorfall by putting some of our Common Council in a dunk tank to raise funds.  Any contributions would be beneficial about now. 

Here's something somewhat politically interesting.

Fundrace 2008 is one of those online sites that lets you find out which presidential candidates citizens are contributing to. This means you can check on...you've got it....people you know.

You can search Fundrace by name, address, zip code, occupation or employer.

If you simply use the zip code function, you might be able to find out if your neighbor, who consistently puts up that sign with the blue donkey on it, really contributed to the Democratic party. 

Fundrace 2008 is on the Huffington Post website (Believe me, I didn't go there on purpose.  I just heard this option was on the website so I was forced to go there) . I can tell you I don't think it is totally up-to-date (somebody is missing : )

Have fun!
