Reader Mail!

A few days ago, I received the following request from "anonymous":

RS - how about making an RSS feed available?

Anon, I would like to honor this request. However, I have little expertise with computers and I am unaware of any site that would allow me to track the number of people who are reading a feed of my blog. Maybe you could refer me to one?

Besides that, in reviewing my stat counter, there are a few people in the State Capitol who apparently load my page 8, 10, even 15 times a day just waiting for an update. I am not sure that's the most prudent use of taxpayer dollars, but that's never been something those under the dome have specialized in. Any place that employs people who will drive in to work on a day when no legislative business is scheduled just to say hi to their staff for five minutes and take their $88 per diem knows nothing of frugality.

I received a tip from a source this weekend that a prominent, award-winning publication in southeast Wisconsin is set to do a story that will light up a member of legislative leadership like a holiday... er, Christmas tree. Keep your eyes open and pray that this becomes reality. If it does, I'll be sure to include a link to it here on the Playground.

A Playground constituent from a neighboring state offered the following:

I really hope that all is well in your world and that the lack of posts is not an indication of turmoil in your world. Your blog is inspirational and often the highlight of my day. Please post for us soon. Thank you for all you do.

Thank you, fan. I'm glad you enjoy my work. Judging by my stat counter, legions of legislative staff are enjoying my work as well, much to the chagrin of their bosses. But secretly I suspect many of their bosses are reading too. And all is indeed well in my world. All of this blogger witchhunting in the Capitol has tripled my daily readership. To legislators, I give you a hat tip. Thanks guys! Without you, I have nothing to write about.

Finally, some feedback about my posts on John Gard's December appearance on Milwaukee talk radio. I've been meaning to share this one for awhile.

thanks for a reasonable analysis of yesterday's talk radio happenings...

Thanks, Brandon. It's good to know that the Gard campaign is on board with the Playground. For your sake, we'll all hope that Steve Kagen doesn't buy the Democratic primary up there in the 8th. Surely that endorsement he got from Jay Johnson a few weeks back is worth at least 34 votes. And while we're on the topic, do any of my readers know what Jay Johnson is up to these days? I'm sure we're all curious to know!
