Number one important piece of information; Scott Walker does not stand with tax paying citizens of Wisconsin.
Scott Walker stands with millionaires and billionaires, and we know that they are quickly becoming the scourge of society. Witness Bernie Madoff and his pathetic story. Perhaps most interesting about the Bernie Madoff story is that very few people have any sympathy for all of the billions lost by unsuspecting investors. Here's a clue. The working class doesn't give a Rat's ass for rich people losing money. In fact, we kind of like it. In fact, if we can organize it and make it happen, we like it even better.
I watched the local news this morning and there were no fewer than five paid advertisements in support of Scott Walker and his ridiculous budget repair bill. One went so far to say that President Obama was sending outside agitators into Wisconsin. Sheesh. The rich are a little desperate these days. Again, greed seems to have clouded all good judgment that these people might have possessed once. I'd be more worried about the state of my mind than I would be about how many dollars I have in the bank, any day of the week. Not this group. They are defined by money, and they will, ultimately, be destroyed by money.
At any rate, Scott Walker is just a mouthpiece of the rich and greedy. And he's so unintelligent, he believes he is one of them. Talk about a cheap hack sellout. We need to recall Scott Walker at the first opportunity we can.
Meanwhile, we should send Scott Walker a copy of Debbie Ford's book "Why Good People Do Bad Things". It is not a self-help book, but an exploration of how seductive the dark side that lives inside all of us can actually be, and how we respond to it and rationalize our lives around it. I'd actually like to send this book to my family members; but I doubt, seriously, if any one of them has ever picked up a reference book. I've learned not to waste any money on the purposefully determined ignorant.
Citizens of Wisconsin, I implore you not to be seduced by the lies of Scott Walker, and the millionaires and billionaires who stand behind him. These people have nothing to do with your life. You will realize NO tax savings, no benefit from Scott Walker being in office, unless you are one of the top 2% financial earners in the state.
That you have been fooled by this fool is a tragedy. Shame on you for not knowing better.

The Pathological Family Update
Anyone who follows my blog knows I occasionally need to vent about the very sick family I was born into.
Here's the latest.
Family Member A sends me an e-mail talking about how she wanted to write or call, but felt so bad about my nineteen year old granddaughter being pregnant. You could almost hear the judgment, and, sadly, the gloat, in her e-mail to me. She garnered this information from her granddaughter, who supposedly garnered it from my granddaughter's Facebook page.
Several texts, one review of a Facebook Page and one panic stricken afternoon later, my granddaughter let me know that she indeed was not pregnant, but she and her boyfriend were merely expecting the arrival of a new puppy. She took umbrage, and I agree with her completely, that people who had to resort to gossiping about her small little quiet life had very little going on in their own lives.
The reason I bring this up at all is that I know other people have sick families, just like I do, families who love it when bad things happen in your life. Families who can't wait to hear dirt, dish dirt, roll in the dirt and think of you as dirt.
I will revisit the many websites that give such great advice on how to deal with sick and pathological family members, and I know I will feel better sharing this latest story of people who were once my family, but are now just a group of hideously mean people I must avoid at all costs. What's really upsetting to me is how often I have to do this, and how truly wretched the people in my family actually are. I'd like to be a bigger person and say I forgive them, say I'll pray for them, say I wish they'd be alright. However, over the course of decades, they've destroyed that part of me. I just wish they'd go away.

Scott Walker on Meet The Press --- What an Embarrassment for Wisconsin
Scott Walker, just like his counterpart, Sarah Palin, proved himself to be an absolutely horrifying embarrassment this morning on "Meet the Press". The man can't answer a legitimate question without promoting his ideology. That his ideology is rabid, right wing, republican rhetoric and citizens should be protected from his vile lies and completely skewered perspectives doesn't seem to matter.
Mr. Walker wakes up in the morning. His political advisers sit him down and make him memorize three or four platitudinous responses to any questions that may arise during the course of the day. Mr. Walker goes on national television and pulls from his bag of platitudinous tricks one platitude after another. When confronted on "Meet the Press" with the fact that Wisconsin public employees had agreed to pay more for their benefits and contribute more to their pensions, and why wasn't that good enough, Mr. Walker referred to his experience as Milwaukee County Executive.
I worked under Mr. Walker at Milwaukee County. In the six years prior to my retirement, I received not a penny in a pay raise, and my benefit costs were raised. I knew I was getting a sweet deal on health care, so I did not complain. Mr. Walker proved, as Milwaukee County Executive, that he would not negotiate with unions, and in this case, especially on wages. Mr. Walker is a union buster. Mr. Walker and his rich cronies want to take the United States back to the 1800's, back to the time of robber barons; when the rich owners could impose or withhold anything on the working class, get away with atrocious acts as far as their pay, their health, their working conditions and their safety were concerned. This behavior led to labor organization in the first place.
America can't go backward. America can't have backward thinkers. Not in this high-tech age.
I am so embarrassed by Scott Walker. I am so embarrassed that not enough thoughtful people got out to vote in last November's gubernatorial race. I am appalled at the apathy that exists in the youth of our country. Of course, and in their defense, we are showing them a nation so beyond being completely screwed up, it is understandable why they would not have a belief that a vote could make a difference. What legacy is America leaving to it's youth? Rich old white men willing to destroy education for the masses. A history of warmongering to support an industrial-military complex so rich old white men can get richer, older and more vile.
I think America is on the skids. Is that why these billionaires are so scared? Maybe they should get their hands off America, convert their dollars to gold bars and go live on a tax free island where their financial leprosy won't infect any more innocent people.

Faith-Based Government-Scott Walker
I am terribly upset reading the morning papers again. The steam roller politics of the governor (and I use the term loosely) are frightening and upsetting.
That people are calling on their Gods to bless Scott Walker's "stay the course" antics makes me sick. Clearly, the concept of "God" is lost on these pseudo-religious folks. Everyone knows God is a socialist, not a republican. But, tongue in cheek, I digress.
A clear picture is evolving on how Scott Walker got elected in the first place. He had plenty of conservative, billionaire funding to produce television commercials that appealed to people with red, white and blue blood running though their veins. It didn't matter that the political ads were lies and republican rhetoric. People bought into it; especially the ones who haven't seen the inside of a newspaper or magazine in the past decade.
Today, Scott Walker is again producing billionaire funded ads promoting his agenda, complete with the most simpering, ugly, self-righteous and sinister patriotic music playing in the background. The music grabs the attention of the Wisconsin people who voted this moron into office, while completely sweeping the facts of Scott Walker's political agenda under the rug.
I GOT A SONG FOR YOU WALKER, AND I INTEND TO SING IT AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS TODAY IN MADISON.......
YOU SAY YOU WANT A REVOLUTION.........WELL, YOU KNOW, WE ALL WANT TO CHANGE THE WORLD.
Well, we most certainly want to change Wisconsin back to a great place. We will not allow Scott Walker to completely defecate all over this once great state, much the same way he urinated all over Milwaukee County. Let's drive him out of office and back to Wauwatosa, where he can ruminate over the fact that he's got no rich buddies anymore. Power neutralized, Walker is a NOBODY. I mean, why would David Koch call a cheap hack like Scott Walker? Pay for his b.s., yes, he'll do that. That protects David Koch's dollars. But socialize with him.......get serious.
The Scott Walkers of the world would not exist if we had sense and sanity in how we allow candidates to run their elections. We don't understand that the whole election process is an unfair game, under current rules of campaign contributions. Clearly, Mr. Walker bought the governorship. But watching him not have a clue on what to do with it would be comical if it didn't border so unpredictably on danger and chaos. It's sort of like watching a member of the ultra-wealthy class go out and buy a snow blower, then cut his hands off with it because he hasn't a clue how to do real labor. Mr. Walker hasn't got a clue how to be a governor. And it's not like UW offers a crash course.

Standing Up for Wisconsin
I'll be in Madison tomorrow to stand with the working class against tyranny.
SCOTT WALKER
Mouthpiece of the rich
(with his lips firmly planted on their collective arses)
ENEMY OF THE POOR

Scott Walker - Criminal at Large
Scott Walker revealed many truths about himself in his conversation with the fake Ed Koch. The fact that he is duplicitous, conniving, and willing to break the law to promote his agenda is apparent in this revelatory conversation, and I invite Scott Walker supporters to read it. Walker proponents don't have a clue about who they are supporting. An ignorant populace always leads to a dangerous government.
We need to take a hard look at Scott Walker's behavior. Scott Walker is not a leader. He is a bewildered pawn in a power game of the ultra rich. It should be relatively easy to trip this guy up into committing a criminal act which will be the basis for us to get rid of him. Get to work liberals! Make that extended wiretap law work for us for a change!
