[edit] "Land of Lakes"

The Land of Lakes reference here (probably added by a Commonwealth subject) is mostly inaccurate. The Land O' Lakes company is based in Minneapolis-St. Paul and "Land of 10,000 Lakes" is Minnesota's official license plate slogan (America's Dairyland is the cheeesheads).

When Wisconsin was admitted to the Union, it boasted 9,000 lakes - the most of any state at the time - so briefly was called the land of lakes. When Minnesota was admitted later, through one-upsmanship, assumed the title with 10,000 lakes. This of coarse (despite the official slogan), is in error. Minnesota actually has over 15,000 lakes - many of which have not been named yet. nobsIt all depends what ISIS is. 00:41, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

[edit] "So..."

Anyone want to discuss the state's lurch to the far right in recent years? Seems a lot of Wisconsinites became born-again ultra-conservatives/libertarians around 2005 onwards. ConfusedLiberal (talk)

I don't know that it's lurched to the right; seems it has always been the home of (pretty much non-violent) radical extremes andactivists from both sides of the spectrum. nobsI was in Bagdad when u wer in dadsbag. 21:22, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
