Madison Rolling Out City-Wide Wi-Fi

It doesn't come easy wrote to mention the announcement that Madison, Wisconsin will soon be home to the newest Municipal Wi-Fi network. From the article: "'I made a commitment in 2004 to bring Wi-Fi to Madison,' said Madison Mayor Dave Cieslewicz in a statement. 'This is an important new service for Madison residents and businesses.' The Madison network will be rolled out at no cost to the city and the providers have secured initial funding from service agreements from ISPs. The initial phase of the Madison network will cover users in the downtown region of the city with plans to later cover the entire city." I love my town. Zombies and Wi-Fi. What more could you want?

Mayor Dave is an Asshat.

That's about the sum of it. If there is anyway that municipal WiFi can go bad, he will find it. This man is driving our cities bars out of business, shooting small business owners in the foot, and only increasing the likelihood of the holloween riots. In addition to numerous other incidents that he has handled in the worst possible way.

Luckily there are a few local groups that are pushing for an impeachment. Its doubtfull that they will succed, but hopefully they'll put enough heat on the city alders that Dave's remaining time will be wasted.

Also, the lack of diversity does not imply racism. Especially in Madison. The rest of the state refers to Madison as "A pocket of librals, surrounded by reality". I was born and raised in the Madison area, spent some time in the military, and can honestly say I don't give a crap what color you are, what god you pray too, or where you are from, if you're an asshole, your an asshole. With the exception of Texans, everyone from Texas starts with the check in the 'asshole' box ;)
