BREAKING NEWS: Heineman Selected as State's Leader, IndefinitelyBy Matt Rokeby Contributor for The CornstalkThe white smoke emerged earlier today from the maintenance room of the State Capitol's private parking garage, signifying that the Capitol Conclave had chosen a new leader for the State of Nebraska. In a surprise, Dave Heineman was selected as the state's permanent leader.The Conclave had been sequestered in the maintenance room to confer regarding the unknown future of the state leadership. Not since two women ran for Nebraska governor in the 1980s has there been such turmoil in the back rooms and caverns of the State Capitol building.The apparent lack of a strong leader willing to step forward and fill the shoes of Governor Dave Heineman forced the Capitol Conclave to meet secretly and decide the fate of Nebraska's future. Heineman was not expected to be a candidate but it is thought that he was selected due to a combination of threats, offers of red polo shirts, and whoring out Snickers the Dog out for children's parties.
Yes, this is my 20 minute long confession bear roar...or quiet grunt.
Howdy political fans! Right about now, my government website reviews video is being uploaded so it will be up soon for all of you to watch.
Below is the video. It will be playable when it's done uploading.
Be careful on yourself, it's 20 minutes long. I'll be adding time coded links to each website when Youtube lets me.

I feel that it's long overdue that I do an audit of all the websites listed under "Sources" in my sidebar.
So, probably during this weekend, I will provide a screen-cast and review of each of the official's pages that I list. I hope to go in depth and adequately judge each page on its features and other information sharing abilities.
This will be fun for me since I'm and IT major anyway and I know that people just dig digital stuff. So, check in and be informed.
Earlier today the Governor announced the inauguration of Lieutenant Governor Lavon Heidemann.
During the conference that Nebraska Governor Dave Heineman called, the governor introduced Heidemann and his wife Robin. At the inauguration, which was followed with a question and answer session with the press, Heineman appeared happy with the events at hand. Heidemann is a rancher from Elk Creek, Nebraska who has served in the Nebraska Legislature in the Appropriations Committee and a former school board member for Elk Creek.
