There are articles in The Milwaukee Journal today regarding Sheriff Clarke's personal management style, and his actual role in public safety. It is interesting to note that Sheriff Clarke's enormous ego seems to stand in his way at every step.
Sheriff Clarke recently lost a discrimination battle with a Milwaukee County deputy sheriff, who happens to be active in the union. Sheriff Clarke was compared to Idi Amin of Uganda, a bully and completely combative. The State ruling said the Sheriff "bore animus" and discriminated against the deputy during the dispute.
Sheriff Clarke seems to promote and enjoy a hostile work environment. He fails to understand that his major role is that of providing detention services and patrolling highways, not law enforcement. But Sheriff Clarke doesn't like being a fancy pants jailer, he wants to be, well, Idi Amin.
Let's examine another story that shows who Sheriff Clarke really is. Driving home from work one snowy, wintry day, Sheriff Clarke sees a stranded motorist on an off ramp, and good samaritan like, pushes his car to the side of the road. He radios for help. Another deputy shows up to assist, and promptly arrests the stranded motorist for drunk driving. There were open alcohol containers strewn about the motorists car and he failed a field sobriety test.
Guess who ended up in the disciplinary process? Yup. Sheriff Clarke went after the deputy because she "embarrassed" him by arresting a motorist he had assisted. Like Scott Walker, Sheriff Clarke fails to see that he embarrassed himself. So he bullies his way out of it.
Sheriff Clarke has an ego not unlike Scott Walker, and somewhat the same personal agenda......big fancy pants to cover up what little is going on upstairs.
I hope the people of Milwaukee County will remember that Sheriff Clarke is little more than Fancy Pants next time an election rolls around. He cannot do the job of leading a law enforcement team because he cannot earn the respect of any members on that team. It is a sad day when our leaders are such dolts, but then, Welcome to Amerika.

Cat Got Your Tongue?
Scott Walker seems to have slipped off the radar of the public eye.
That doesn't mean he isn't busy enacting ridiculous laws, like his concealed carry legislation. I can't wait to step out of my door on November 1st and start dodging bullets from Americans (not necessarily known for their wisdom or discretion) who are now legally allowed to pack their pistols right next to their unpacked heads.
Here in Wisconsin, though, its interesting to note that Walker seems to have dropped out of sight. Could this possibly signal some event on the horizon tied in with the John Doe investigation here in Milwaukee? One can only hope that Scott Walker's unfamiliarity with all things legitimate will be his final undoing. Well, when you lie down with dogs......
Ignorance may be no excuse, but stupid is a character trait we should not be revering in our elected officials. As Mrs. Gump said, "stupid is as stupid does."
Jeff Fitzgerald of the infamous Fitzgerald brothers of the Wisconsin statehouse, will run for Senator Herb Kohl's seat. One word of advice to Jeff Fitzgerald.......save your money. There may still be many voting idiots living in Wisconsin, but not enough to elect you to anything. Tammy Baldwin will certainly win that election. The only thing Jeff Fitzgerald can win is contempt and disdain from thoughtful Wisconsinites. If he had a clue, he'd know that.
Oh, if I only had a crystal ball and could gaze into the future of Wisconsin politics. Would I like what I see? Would you? Here's a heads up. You don't need a crystal ball. Just stay active in the Wisconsin political arena, and rise up to recall Scott Walker, if the clueless wonder hasn't completely undone himself. That possibility is entirely likely. The wheels of justice turn slowly, but they turn. We can only hope.

Recalling Scott Walker
Recall efforts will begin for Scott Walker on November 15, 2011, setting Wisconsin up for a year of expensive political battles
SO, when someone contacts you about signing a recall petition to oust Scott Walker, SIGN IT!
If you need encouragement:
Scott Walker is believed to be able to raise $70,000,000 to defend himself in the recall election.
$70,000,000 that a bunch of greed driven anti-American f*ckheads will donate to a naturally lobotomized s.o.b. who managed to fool enough gullible, anti-American-value voters into electing him governor. If Scott Walker is capable of raising this kind of money, why didn't he just ASK the greed pigs to send him money to close the deficit in Wisconsin's budget. Oh, the drama. It would have been lost. Oh, the chance to kick a poor person in the mouth......gone! Oh, the opportunity to shaft the working class heros who pay all the taxes.....missed.
Does anyone remember the movie "Being There" starring Peter Sellers as an affable if somewhat dimly lit, feeble-minded gardener who manages to convince the American public into electing him president, through no real effort on his part, but rather by a giant political machine. The machine translates everything the idiot gardener says about planting seeds and tending flowers into political genius. The machine takes this simple man and with power and money, makes him an intellectual media hero.
Wisconsin is life imitating art.
All I can say is we don't need a nit wit in the governor's office. I'd rather have Chase, the gardener, running the show in Madison than that horse's ARSE who sits in the office now. A developmentally disabled person would be a step up from Oil Can Scotty. No.....not quite true......a whole flight of stairs up.

True Religion
Today was a beautiful autumn day in Wisconsin, warm and balmy, with the golds, reds, and oranges of the trees perfectly illuminated by a cloudless sky. There is a carpet of red, green and gold on the ground. If nothing else, it is a perfect landscape painting, far more beautiful than anything ever painted in a gallery. And I own it. In this moment in time, I own this beauty. True Religion!
I spent the entire weekend putzing around my kitchen preparing some nice dishes for a lunch I hosted with some very old (by that I mean I've known them for a long time) and wonderful girlfriends. The lunch turned out perfectly; maybe it was because the day was so perfect, or maybe it was all the love that went into the preparation; whatever it was, the culinary treat was second only to the wonderful conversation that was effortless and meaningful, deep and respectful, open and honest. To have friends like these in my house, that is true religion. That is a true gift.
Religion is not something one needs to seek in an "ism", religion is how we feel about life, love, how forgiving we are of people who have treated us poorly and how much love we recognize we have to give. Most importantly, how do we feel about who we are. If you feel great about it, you have a true religion. Keep up the good work.

A Good Defnition of Christianity
The belief that some cosmic Jewish Zombie can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him that you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.
Makes perfect sense.
Makes perfect sense.

Sheriff Clarke's Panties in a Bundle Over Failed Complaint
Sheriff Clarke, the megalomaniac who runs the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Department, is upset that a judicial process for reviewing complaints against judges has been dismissed. Sheriff Clarke had, for those of you who don't watch this guy closely (and you should), entered into a pi$$ing contest with a Circuit Court Judge, and ultimately found out just where he sits on the authoritarian hierarchy. That is to say, he found out he is somewhat lower than a judge.
That must have been a huge blow to Sheriff Clarke's larger than life ego, and he's mad as hell.
When a politician has massive ego needs that supersede the needs of the public he is supposed to serve, it is time for him to retire. Please Sheriff Clarke, retire. You can't defy the department budget and you can't defy the judiciary. When you are denied anything, you seem to come down on the very people who serve you, and serve you well, despite their own opinions of what kind of leader you are. Milwaukeeans are starting to share the opinion of deputies and staff --- who the HELL do you think you are? You embarrass yourself, Sheriff Clarke, and then you discipline people who expose your incompetency. It's time for you to go. Somewhere. Anywhere.
