On Wisconsin!

A lot of crazy stuff happening in Wisconsin right now.  My future former home state. I haven’t had so much fun paying attention to the news since the last…blizzard. 
Howdy Gang… Paula’s son Carl here. Way to go gang, Wisconsin gang that is. You’ve taken a total failure to elect the clear choice (college graduate, ex congressman, ex Milwaukee mayor and defender of old women at the State Fair) Tom Barrett, and instead elected a douche bag. Scott Walker. Yup that one. In case you didn’t live in Milwaukee County in the last few years he is (as George Takei recently called out a southern school board member for encouraging gay teens to get aids) a “ Total Douche bag”.  Best part, unlike so many political come late to the party types you all showed up.  You got gutless politicians to grow guts. You chased ‘em right out of the state and down to Illinois. They phoned in a list of demands and made me proud in Philadelphia. Jesse Jackson showed up. Barack Obama gives a hoot. You did good. Fighting Bob wouldn’t be proud of your initial turn out, but he’d be OK with your last efforts.  I’ll be at the capital on Sunday.  Thanks guys.
Short but sweet – did you vote in the gubernatorial election? If you didn’t, perhaps you’ll reconsider the consequences of your inaction before the next election. Best words I’ve read in the last few days -- "when will we realize that the good news is that we get exactly what we ask for on Election Day. The bad news, of course, is that we get exactly what we ask for on Election Day." (D. Taylor)
