Who is John Doe?
Only the investigators know for sure. Walker's spin -- he initiated the John Doe investigation, which is at best a total crock of horse$hit. Mr. Walker first told the press he had no idea what or whom the John Doe investigation was targeting. Now he's claiming to be responsible for starting it. I believe Oil Can Scotty is starting to suffer loose stools on a regular basis. Well, that's only fitting for such a flaming A$$hole. And that bald spot, man, it's growin' by leaps and bounds.
Scott Walker and his cronies are trying to keep secret how they went about redrawing legislative district lines. Well, that's GOP at its finest, cheat, lie, steal. Their motto. How can anyone in public office have any sort of credibility when their actions are cloaked in secrecy?
And, my rant for today involves another pillar of non-leadership, political hack, David A. Clarke, Milwaukee County Sheriff. This guy is the poster boy for egomania. Personally, he's about as dumb as they come. Why would anyone want to pi$$ off all of those employees who have a legal mandate to carry firearms? No mental giant there. Sheriff Clarke couldn't lead a horse to water. But he seems to be drinking an awful lot based on his insane policies, directives and staff harassment. Another candidate for Yokel of the Year.

Where's the Outrage?
One of Scott Walker's high ranking administators gets busted with his hand in the veteran's cookie jar. His domestic partner is charged with enticing a minor.
Scott Walker's response ......"Disappointed".
Yeah. Right. Disappointed. Like the teachers feel about Scott Walker as governor? I think they have a stronger word, perhaps several stronger words, like the seven words that can't be said on television.
Where is the outrage? Where is the justice. Where is Walker's moral code? Missing in action. Much like his brain. Scott Walker has got to go. And damn quick. If this isn't misconduct in public office, I don't know what is.

Big To Do About Nothing
Robin Voss, that pillar of morally corrupt concepts of governance, has been screaming about the $9 million it will cost the State of Wisconsin to recall Scott Walker.
But a review shows that the number of dollars Scott Walker has lost for the State of Wisconsin is in the billions.
What Wisconsin taxpayers cannot afford is any more governance by someone as mathematically challenged as Scott Walker or his supporters seem to be. That's just simple bookkeeping common sense.
If it cost a billion dollars to recall Scott Walker, it would be money well spent in terms of overall saving.

We Are All Wondering
We are all wondering about the John Doe investigation currently being conducted here in Milwaukee. Most of us, that is to say, most reasonable people, believe the investigation will ultimately lead to indictments. But for whom?
Personally, Scott Walker has always seemed a little oily to me. Despite his protestations to the contrary and his uncanny ability to put forth the republican poster boy image he's been groomed to present his entire political life, there is a stench about Scott Walker and his administration that cannot be denied. I smell pig.
I have watched Scott Walker trash the state I was born in. I have watched him trash the lives of simple, working class people. I have seen him lie, unabashedly in every television spot bought and paid for by millionaires, and millionaire funded radical right groups. I have watched the propaganda that Scott Walker and his supporters have put forth in an effort to mask their shortcomings in an ability to govern in a democracy. Govern? These guys don't have a clue about democracy, but they are our leaders. We're in big trouble, folks. What I didn't realize until now is that Scott Walker is not interested at all in preserving the democracy that this country was founded on. He's bent on destroying it. That makes him a fraud, a crook, a a fascist and a traitor. But he wraps it all up nicely in God and flag, doesn't he?
I'm sick of seeing Scott Walker's face ANYWHERE. In fact, the only place I'll ever be happy to see his face is on a mug shot. Let's hope it's coming. I think it is.

Can Anyone in Scott Walker's Administration Add or Subtract?
There is one truth about Scott Walker's Administration. Their financial numbers all turn out to be wrong.
This leads me to believe that everything coming out of Madison these days in the form of financial reporting is just more propaganda; a favorite ploy of the GOP, and an especial pet of Scott Walker. Mr. Walker doesn't have to bother understanding the taxpayer dollar or the state budget, because it's all just a whole lot of stinkin' crap. With enough spin, horse$hit becomes a budgetary deficit. With enough repetition, lies become truth.
It is very important that the citizens of Wisconsin understand that Mr. Walker is incapable of analyzing complex financial data, or arriving at reasonable budgetary solutions. What Mr. Walker is capable of is putting his hands and feet in the puppet strings of the oligarchy taking over this country.
We'd better beware of Mr. Walker, and any politician like him; that is so say, most of the GOP. We had better find a way to slap these people back if we can't rid our government of their presence. We'd better start thinking in terms of fighting a much bigger fight than simply recalling Scott Walker.

Things to Throw Out Along with your Christmas Tree
Having just tossed out my needle dropping, but still beautiful Christmas tree, I consciously made some choices of things I was going to throw out along with it, so I could really start the new year with a fresh living space and attitude.
The belief that anything material I get for myself will bring me any peace or happiness.
The worry that I just don't like a whole lot of people. Frankly, a whole lot of people are simply unlikeable.
Don't worry about it. But always be cordial.
I've tossed the idea that I can help people who absolutely refuse to help themselves.
The Welcome Doormat I've always walked around with in front of me. You're welcome to share my life, but don't wipe your dirty feet on me, or you'll see my dark side.
The optimism I once had that we can all work together on this planet. I need to replace that optimism with something more realistic, like social activism.
The grief I've carried around with me for far too long, for people, for events, for all the injustices everyone of us has endured since the dawn of time. No more grief. If I mourn anything, I mourn the times when there was nothing to grieve over.
Most importantly, I think we all need to throw out the apathy we feel about our lives and the people in them. Apathy is our way of feeling comfortable when we're overwhelmed with demands placed on us. Face it, everyone of us is overwhelmed. The answer is to be overwhelmingly involved. It's not debilitating, it's exhilarating.
Throw out your complacency while you're at it. None of us should be complacent, no matter where we stand on the tree of life. You can always do more. Do better. Give more of yourself. There are great rewards for those who do.
Lastly, get rid of your fear, whatever your fear is. Meet piles of trials with smiles.

2012
Well, I'm starting the year with a bad cold, caught from the little germ factory otherwise known as my step-granddaughter.
Went to bed shortly after a glass of champagne at midnight, only to hear a loud car crash practically outside my window. Lost all my money gambling with cards and dice. My relatives are SOOOO accomplished at games of chance.
Thought about my new year's resolution. I didn't do so well on last year's, the one where I promised to stop swearing so much. Ah, well. Politics frenzy my quest for serenity.
So, for 2012, I can only say that I hope Wisconsin returns to some normalcy and that we indeed rid our state of the pestilence known as the Scott Walker administration.
HAPPY NEW YEAR to all good citizens. And for the GOP here in this state; may 2012 be the year of exposure and expulsion.
