Alberta Darling Thinks You're Stupid

Ads on television touting Alberta Darling makes one wonder.  How dumb does she think her constituency actually is?

Sandy Paasch voted for pork?  I don't think so.  For one, Sandy Paasch is Jewish.  For two, Sandy Paasch does not have special interests at her heart and core, unless they are for the common good.  For three, Sandy Paasch doesn't whore to the highest bidder.  And most importantly, Sandy Paasch would never align herself with a complete idiot like Scott Walker.

Anyhow, the television ads attacking Sandy Paasch are downright laughable, except maybe Alberta Darling's backers (can you say Koch brothers?) are right that lots of people in her area are ignorant.  Anyhow, when I see a Pot calling a Kettle black, I'm always suspicious.  Maybe Alberta Darling is smoking pot.  And there's Sandy Paasch's next commercial.  If Darling promoters are going to advertise such outrageous untruths, then Sandy Paasch should question Alberta Darling's integrity by insisting she undergo a drug test.  Darling's on something.  It can't be pot.....pot makes people, uh, nicer, or at least less able to formulate evil plans.  Whatever Alberta Darling is on, we hope she enters rehab soon.

John Chianelli Back in News

Big surprise.  Former Behavioral Health Division director (who was demoted due to incompetence, then dehired because someone at the County actually had a good idea that got implemented) is back in the news.  Not in a good way.

Apparently, no one conducted an exit interview with Mr. Chianelli which would have covered the Milwaukee County Ethics Policy.  Ergo, Mr. Chianelli violated the policy by meeting with a county employee to pitch a bid for business to be tossed the way of his new employer.

Some people never get it.  Mr. Chianelli seems to be one of those. 

After resigning, in disgrace, from any position, a person should have plenty of time to consider their professional conduct and learn from past mistakes.  Not so, Mr. Chianelli.  Milwaukeeans are getting used to seeing Mr. Chianelli's face on the front page of newspapers.  His only true talent seems to lie in being caught  in controversy.

The delivery of mental health services in this county has always been lacking.  While one can blame budget issues for most of that, one can't help but feel that the problems are far more entrenched, starting with administrators who are not qualified to do the job.  That more or less covers Mr. Chianelli's entire career as a local government employee.  Milwaukee County is mired in its own dysfunction.  So is John Chianelli.

Local headline: Walker says he can work with Democrats

Who is Scott Walker kidding?  This article, literally, had me laughing. 

He can't work with anyone, except the ultra-wealthy who share his concept of survival of the richest.

Anyhow, after reading the article, which had to be generated by Oil Can Scotty's continued dismal poll ratings, I felt disgusted, not just by Scott Walker, who is now, clearly, grasping at straws to sustain his political life, but by the Citizens of Wisconsin who voted this yokel into office. 

I think it is absolutely imperative that the negative feelings we all have for Scott Walker stay at the forefront of our collective awareness.  We have several months to go before the recall election for Scott Walker will happen.  It is important that we don't believe the propagandized lies that Scott Walker continues to tell.  This blog will be devoted to following all aspects of Scott Walker's recall and finally watching him slink back to Wauwatosa with his tail between his legs.  It is heartening to drive around the state and see all the bumper stickers and farm field notices proclaiming the recall of Scott Walker as the right action!  Not only is the recall of Scott Walker the only reasonable action reasonable persons can take, it appears to be a very popular consensus.

For Scott Walker to say he can work with Democrats is an outrageous lie.  Scott Walker's political life is over.   He is merely being sustained on the life support that is our legislative process.

Walker's Approval Rating or 57% of us are not INSANE!!!!!

Scott Walker's approval rating fell to 43% in a statewide survey released Wednesday by Public Policy Polling.

43% of the citizens of this State think Scott Walker is O.K. 

That's enough of a margin to kick his A$$ out of office, people!

43% of the citizens of this State are inept thinkers.

43% of the citizens of this State have the same political knowledge Scott Walker possesses, i.e., ZERO.

43% of the citizens of this State have confused pork with cheese.

43% of the citizens of this State wouldn't be able to answer a ten question quiz on the State's political issues.

At any rate, 43% isn't enough for Scott Walker to remain in office.

Take Heart Wisconsinites!  The Emperor and his cast of bully pulpit pork pawning pissant little power barons are on their way to the history books, and will live forever in infamy and shame. 

ON WISCONSIN!

Fake Democrats

Well, the GOP, the Party of Dirty Tricks, didn't quite get anywhere with their ploy of running fake candidates to circumvent the recall elections of such illustrious people as Alberta Darling. 

Showing identification at polling places greatly slowed down the election process, another obstacle brought to you by the GOP.

And a last ditch power grab, a proposal to redistrict the state to give full advantage to Republican candidates, also seems to be going nowhere.

I don't know how anyone can take this political party seriously, but I guess we have to, given the numerous outrageous acts in which they engage. 

Is the pendulum swinging back to sanity?  It would appear so.  The ultimate recall elections will be the test, and we, thoughtful and caring citizens of Wisconsin, are certainly determined and hopeful that we can reclaim our state from the Republican whores who have tried to exploit us.

But the most important recall election is still months away, the recall of Governor Scott Walker.  This will certainly be the biggest news story in Wisconsin since Scott Walker completely raped and ravaged the working class last January.

I hope all of this political chaos has made the people of this great state aware of just what is at stake when elections roll around.  The sleeping giant of the middle class has certainly been poked into action.  We simply cannot take our civic duty of voting for granted, ever again.  We can't ignore the importance of every single vote.  Apathy, in the State of Wisconsin, damn near killed us.  We can't, as a conscientious whole, allow apathy to prevail.  When it does, bad candidates come to power.

I am glad enough people in the districts where recall elections took place turned out to vote and the result was anti-GOP.  Stopping the underhanded tactics of the GOP should be priority one here in Wisconsin.  I'm confidant that it will carry through, and we will rid ourselves of Oil Can Scotty at the first opportunity.  Never has a leader (?) been so ripe for removal from office.  Get involved.  Get informed.  Get Rid Of Walker!

Casey Anthony Not Guilty?

Well, there are criminal trials and then there are criminal trials.  Not since the O.J. Simpson verdict has there been such a miscarriage of justice.  I'm not a lawyer, and I am not educated on the fine points of a strong legal defense, but the evidence was overwhelming, in my opinion, and that Ms. Anthony is going to walk out of jail and back into her inconvenienced and interrupted life seems disgustingly unfair. 

The bottom line, I guess, is that there is a two year old child dead.  Her mother didn't report her missing for a month.  Her mother researched techniques to subdue a victim and her mother borrowed a shovel from a neighbor to bury the child in a swampy area not far from her parent's home.  Evidence of a decomposing body in Casey Anthony's car trunk just further pointed the finger at her.  None of the evidence mattered, though. 

Here's the question.  Obviously, the little girl had people who loved her and would have gladly raised her because Casey Anthony was not up to the challenges of motherhood at this stage of her life.  Instead, Casey Anthony killed her.  Why was that act the ultimate solution for Ms. Anthony?  Ms. Anthony seems intent on causing pain and misery to people, especially her parents, and of course, her own child.  There is something terribly wrong with Casey Anthony, something fundamental is missing.  She is a sociopath with no discernible qualities that would qualify her as a human being.

Ms. Anthony is a sick woman, who is now back on the streets.  She is a liar.  She is a killer.  She is as cold as the dead.  The Casey Anthony saga is not over.  Watch for her.  Someone this F*cked up will certainly continue to cause unnatural disasters wherever she goes.  It's too bad we can't make sure she doesn't procreate again.

The 4th of July

It's hard for me to find a reason to celebrate this country's birthday, in view of this country's life right now.

It's like throwing a party for a relative who is an abusive bully;  a person who throws money around to impress but never kicks in for a good cause.

Anyhow, I've lived here all my life and I feel, these days, less and less like a citizen and more and more like a victim. 

But, in the essence of optimism, I will attempt to find reasons to be thankful the United States of America is still a viable nation:

1.  No politician has tweeted me a picture of his genitals.

2.  There hasn't been a sex scandal in the White House involving President Obama.

3.  I can now carry a concealed weapon to protect myself from everyone else carrying a concealed weapon.

4.  I can still write disparaging remarks about Wisconsin politicians and not be thrown in jail.

5.  I'm still a viable candidate for jury duty.

6.  The grocery stores are brimming with mostly untainted foodstuffs.  (As far as I know)

7.  I can enjoy traveling anywhere, provided I can afford to pay for the gas.

8.  I have at least as much of a chance of winning the lottery as any other citizen.

9.  I can sing "This Land is Your Land" instead of the National Anthem at baseball games, which I do.

10.  I still live under the threat of nuclear annihilation at any moment, which just extends my childhood a little bit when we used to cover our heads and hide in the hallways during air raid drills.
