Sanity exists in Wisconsin

Compared to some places there isn't as much of that, although on a couple of occasions a particular county (Waukesha) has had some "skillset" issues in managing their voting operation. That challenged indiv has indicated she's not running for re-election (otherwise she'll probably get lynched).

Was an interesting evening, especially with watching Milwaukee county go for Walker very early, later to suddenly turn for Barrett. But when he lost the support of the big newspaper editorially, and when known Barrett voters were telling me they would vote Walker anyway because the whiny-assed nature of the recall mechanism irked them, and when Barrett's regime in the People's Sub-Enclave of Chicago got investigated for UNDER-reporting violent crime in order to make their stats look good, he was toast. There was one other thing in play.

For the first time, ALOT of folks with some sense were talking facts to others rather than kool-aid based rhetoric about the issue of so-called union "rights" (which don't really exist with an executive branch of government). This was stuff done throughout the state, 1:1 in the cafes and the micro-brews and the bakery lines. While waiting for the best apple-fritters in the region one AM I actually heard a couple of "Steel Magnolias" actually going at it. One lady who'd apparently retired from the old labor dept was telling another the truth about the Nat'l Labor Relations Act and specific exclusion of Fed & State govt and how WI only started engaging in collective bargaining in 1959 under, "oh, you remember hon'- that idiot, Gaylord Nelson" (former gov I found out).

Folks (self included) shared with others how much they really contribute to their own pensions and health-care plans and the poor tale of the High Church of Academia in Madison became "boo-f'n hoo." In addition, neighbors talked with each other about encounters with out-of-state union thugs who were bused into Madison to aid in the "community organizing."

Frankly, alot of folks just realized that their little piece of America had reached what Claire Wolfe has called "that awkward stage."* And this is a state, by the way, that would've been much happier if Rick Santorum had ended up the presumptive nominee.

Was a good 24 hours; 1 for the good guys. Next.

Slack is found in the dictionary in the same area as sympathy, but a lot closer to sh*t.

Wisconsin was not the only state making the news last night, San Diego voters had their voices heard loud and clear also and its not sitting to well with the unions.

San Jose, also, which is much more liberal than SD: http://www.mercurynews.com/elections...enging-pension

Well, now that they've had their moment with the Lame-Stream Media

Labor unions, which strongly opposed the measure, say Proposition B is illegal and will be tossed out by courts. They contend the mayor violated labor law by using his position to advance the initiative and avoid required negotiations with employee unions.

If the city stays the course they'll win; they need to hang tough. It ain't about union-busting for its own sake; it's about fiscal responsibility to those served.


Well done San Diego & San Jose.

It was on my definitely on my mind, but I intentionally removed the 'E' word from my post to keep the topic from digressing to the realm of Martin, DOJ, Holdar, Al, JJ, NBPP and the 'RR' word.

But since you ask, I believe the language in question can be attributed to Social Psychologist Robert Williams and Linguist Ernie Smith. And was at one time (maybe it still is) recognized as a primary language by the Oakland School Board.

Well done San Diego & San Jose.

Very few politicians seem to be able to grasp the concept of fiscal responsibilty, but now that they have an example and they see that it is possible to start to rein things in, maybe more cities and states will do just that. Thanks for putting up the good fight in Wisconsin!!
