Just like that, it appears, we’re one Weekly Wrap-Up episode away from triple digits, three bills, a hundo, a Benjamin — episode 100.
Thanks to the detective work of a crack team of WWU sleuths — first Robert Murphy and, more recently, Corey Spitzer — Jeff and I learned before hosting today’s WWU that it was episode No. 98. And I don’t need to break out my abacus to tell you that means only one week separates us from our centennial episode, which is certain to be an occasion of utter momentousness.
That’s not to say today’s WWU was chopped liver, though. Not by a long shot. No, there was plenty of noteworthy news to discuss in our review of the week that was on the Silicon Prairie:
