A lot of other things were happening in McDonaldLand:

In McDonaldLand, a lot of other things happened after Citizens for Responsible Government announced it was recalling Mayor McCheese.

Eugene Kane claimed that McDonaldLand is a really racist place that doesn't know how racist it is, as evidenced by all the angry white guys who write him nasty emails every time he writes about Mayor McCheese. Oh, and those CRG folks are in cahoots with the racist talk show ranters, and Bush is a moron who is robbing the poor to benefit the rich, stole the election, is in cahoots with Halliburton, is secretly controlled by Dick Cheney, misled the country into war, and secretly hates cheese.

Jim Stingl claimed his liberal white guy guilt was preventing him from saying what he really wanted to say about CRG trying to recall McCheese, so he thought that it was probably a good thing that CRG was recalling Mayor McCheese, but he wasn't sure, because who was he to say, being a guilty liberal white guy and all? But that was what he thought, anyway. Sort of.

Mark Belling called McCheese a pervert and a moron and hung up on McCheese when he called into the show to offer his side. And then he blamed Paul for letting McCheese get through and started talking about horse racing.

Charlie Sykes called McCheese a bloviator who had lost touch with the public who elected him and said that it was "ironic" that McCheese was accusing Chris Kliesmet of trying to sell him an efficiency program he didn't need when in fact McCheese had let property taxes spiral out of control on his own watch.

The Journal Sentinel editorial board gave McCheese an asterisk because he doesn't represent the mainstream thoughts of Swiss cheese producers.

McCheese was fervently hoping the Journal Sentinel editorial board would come out in favor of the recall because then it probably wouldn't happen.

Scott Walker called a press conference and argued that McCheese had done little to reduce property taxes in McDonaldLand, and on top of it McCheese had been seen stuffing ketchup packets in his pants that were paid by tax dollars. Walker pledged that there would be a 0% increase in the cost of McCheese burgers if people elected him. He announced that he was eliminating all condiments from McDonaldLand. "We have to find efficiencies somewhere," he stated.

Jim Doyle claimed that he'd discovered McCheese had given out free coupons to McDonaldLand Happy Meals to members of the media. Days later, Jessica McBride reported on her blog that Jim Doyle had himself grilled McCheese burgers for members of the media, which meant that the media had a double standard.

Russ Feingold stated that he had considered holding a press conference to support Mayor McCheese, but decided there was no point because McDonaldLand is not in the South.

George W. Bush stated that McCheese's critics were making McDonaldland less safe from terrorists, prompting Dave Obey to charge across the room and shout that Bush was pathetic and playing politics with cheese.

Michael McGee Jr. said McCheese was a (!)@%(&#)$@*$&%&&@((@(@(@ honkey, but McCheese hugged him anyway and created a task force to study why people in McDonaldLand just can't get along.

Tom Barrett stood along the side of the CRG press conference and didn't say anything. Asked later for his comments on McCheese, Barrett said he didn't have anything to add.

Bill Christofferson alleged on his blog that McCheese had once received money from a PAC administered by Tom DeLay, years before DeLay was indicted for something else, so he was a crook and thief who was getting his just desserts. And then he created a Web site called dirtycheese.com.

The state Democratic Party alleged that McCheese had once received money from a PAC administered by Tom DeLay, years before DeLay was indicted for something else, so he was a crook and thief who was getting his just desserts.

The state Republican Party called a news conference in front of a home in McDonaldLand and accused the homeowners of voting illegally for McCheese in the 2004 elections. "We must start preserving election integrity in this state," the Party stated. "Plus, McCheese has instituted a phony tax freeze."

Dan Vrakas drove through the drive thru and ordered a..... Pepsi.

Peg Lautenschlager walked through the drive thru and asked for a... Mello Yello.

Kathleen Falk drove through the drive thru and announced she was releasing half of all non-violent McDonaldLand employees from work early. "We live in perilous times," she stated.

Paul Bucher unleashed a press release in which he alleged that McCheese is a radical who has refused to rule out legalizing marijuana. "You must be kidding me," he stated. "This anti-law enforcement individual wants to run McDonaldLand?"

JB Van Hollen unleashed a press release in which he alleged that McCheese was threatening public safety because he has refused to rule out legalizing marijuana.

John Nichols wrote a column that accused McCheese of being a zealous rightwinger who has sold out progressive ideals and was once spotted holding a Bible class in his basement.

Bob Dohnal wrote a column that accused the secular MSM of calling McCheese "quirky" and "off the wall" just because they don't like the fact he holds Bible classes in his basement.

Spivak and Bice wrote that McCheese had once been spotted holding a Bible class in his basement in a column entitled, McCheese Exhibits Signs of Quirkiness. They wrote:

McCheese is not your typical mayor. He's so out there, in fact, that Party bosses are worried that McCheese's peculiarities could cost them a mayoral seat the party has held since 1993. Let's face it, McCheese is nuts. Called for comment, McCheese shouted at us: "You guys are just trying to ruin me! Why should I talk to you guys?" McCheese then hung up the phone.
