Well, the video wherein Scott Walker tells a Beloit billionaire his plan to divide and conquer unions representing public employees is old news. Rotten news, but two days old, now (which makes it stink even more). I woke up this morning fairly early and turned on the television, only to see Scott Walker commercials practically back to back, touting his accomplishments. What accomplishments?
He balanced the budget? State law says the budget must be balanced, so Scott Walker wants to take credit for something every governor has accomplished.
He is claiming a budget surplus of millions? Not so. He is going to delay payment on Wisconsin's debt, which ultimately will cost taxpayers more money in interest. He is doing this as a campaign ploy to get reelected; but his reelection will continue to cost Wisconsinites dearly. For someone so opposed to raising taxes, he sure is free spending with your present and future tax dollars.
I can't believe the people who buy into Scott Walker's bull$hit. Talk about an interesting group. They are either billionaires blinded from counting money, and whom don't want to pay taxes, or dumb f*ck working slobs who haven't got the sense of a gnat to comprehend complex issues.
Everybody wants an easy answer and the truth is, there aren't any easy answers. We are dealing with complex and substantially difficult issues. But Americans are dumbed down, especially in Wisconsin, so when they hear a sound byte like Scott Walker saved Wisconsin by destroying public sector unions, they buy it hook, line and sinker. This is Walker's particular brand of snake oil. Tell a lie. Repeat it often, and the majority of non-thinkers will not only buy it, but vote for him.
Let's try our own version of sound a byte. Wisconsin has lost more jobs than any state in the union. No business will open here because a good businessman knows that Scott Walker is a total a$$hole and the State of Wisconsin is his favorite place to defecate.
Scott Walker. Snake Oil Personified.

Wisconsin is Melting Down
Well, the environmental record for our fair state is as dismal as the job prospects for the unemployed.
The DNR has utterly failed. What's at stake is pristine waterways and our billion dollar tourism industry. Proof positive that whatever Oil Can Scotty touches turns to rotting decay quickly.
Yet, The Milwaukee Journal has reported that Walker is leading Barrett in votes for the upcoming recall election. Now, of course, anything the conservative rag known as The Milwaukee Journal reports is deeply suspect on many levels. They have some good writers, but their slant is to the right and liberals are extremely unhappy that this newspaper doesn't even pretend to be unbiased.
How can supposedly thinking people even consider Scott Walker as a leader? I'm dismayed. I can only hope that on June 5th, we'll all send a message to Scott Walker and his band of bastards that we just aren't going to take anymore idiocy in power.
SEND SCOTT WALKER TO THE UNEMPLOYMENT LINE.

WALKER VS BARRETT, DEJA VU
Well, Wisconsinites, we have an election.
The only thing that really annoys me is four more weeks of Scott Walker and his idiot Lieutenant Governor espousing outrageous lies about job creation here in Wisconsin. I mean, really, it's laughable to anyone who reads a newspaper to watch their television commercials and how big their lies get as they get into further political hot water.
As I've said before, there's nothing I like better than watching rich a$$holes lose money, so I'm glad the Koch brothers are funding the biggest butthole in history, Scott Walker. May it all be for naught.
The icing on my cake is an indictment coming for Scott Walker out of the John Doe investigation. Is singing and dancing in my future? I certainly hope so.

THE DNR UNDER CATHY STEPP (DOWN PLEASE)
Okay, now I'm just really aggravated. Much as I don't like Waukesha County, the DNR should not have allowed spreading of human waste in volumes sufficient to poison wells and sicken people. And it did. Under the illustrious (NOT) direction of the Republican head of the DNR, Cathy Stepp.
The company who did this illegal dumping of, well face it, human $hit, was not fined. Not only was it not fined, it submitted three different reports on the volume of $hit dumped to try and get closer to a tally within acceptable limits. Cooking the books does not equate compliance.
The DNR also failed to turn this disastrous dumping debacle over to the Department of Justice, who would have levied substantial fines against the dumpers, Herr Environmental.
It is interesting to note that Herr Environmental was a contributor to Scott Gunderson, Executive Assistant to DNR Cathy Stepp, a fact he conveniently said he "forgot".
Cathy Stepp commented: "Our administration holds itself to the highest ethical standards". Obviously, their ethical standards are a pile of $hit, as well. But we know anyone and any thing who backs Scott Walker is a pile of $hit. No news there.
Herr Environmental needs to lose its septic license. They are up to their ears in $hit and spreading it on acres close to residential wells, is just plain wrong, even when it's Waukesha. I don't like Waukesha, but my dislike is NOTHING compared to the DNR's contempt for those citizens by their lax oversight of Herr Environmental.
Wake up Wisconsinites, and Waukeshates. The Republican Administration is toxic and not at all opposed to poisoning you and your families. Get a clue. PLEASE!

My Wonderful Weekend
The weather was not necessarily nice this weekend, but I still managed to get out and spread eight bags of mulch in my gardens, after digging up weeds for four hours. It felt good to have my hands in the earth; and our soil is not radioactive.....yet. So what if I spent 45 minutes cleaning the dirt out of my fingernails, the garden looks terrific. I planted my window boxes and put flowers in pots. Despite the weather, my house projects the image of spring.
Had dinner with my grandson and his girlfriend on Saturday, then came home and watched "Bullit", which has the best car chase scene ever filmed. Always fun to turn young people on to old movies. My grandson commented that people in San Francisco must replace their brakes frequently, but any San Franciscan will tell you, it's their clutches that need replacement constantly.
On Sunday, I had two very good friends over for brunch and conversation; then my husband showed up with the best BBQ ribs in Wisconsin from Smoky John's in Madison. Good food, good friends, they can take the rain out of a rainy day.
Most importantly, I haven't read the Sunday newspapers yet, so I feel less agitated than I usually do after that experience.
But I'm gearing up. It's Wisconsin primary week, and we're all anxious to find out who will kick Walker's a$$ out of the governor's mansion in June. I believe it will be Tom Barrett; my fingers are as crossed as Scott Walker's eyes.
GET OUT THE VOTE, Wisconsinites. The nation is watching what happens here, because what happens here is the litmus test for what happens to all Americans! Please, take it seriously.

Marquette University Poll Results
Marquette University has released poll results showing Walker and Barrett as too close to call in the upcoming recall election.
Hmmm. Well, I suspect these figures based on two things. First of all, I suspect Catholicism and it's anti-woman doctrines, as well as its public image after hiding money to avoid paying victims of sexual assault by priests. I, frankly, wouldn't trust any statement made by a catholic organization. Sorry. Just my opinion.
I also believe there are a whole lot of people who voted for Walker the first time around who have changed their minds. I base that on the number of Stand With Walker signs I don't see anymore.
Still, this poll might inspire those people who ordinarily would not vote to get out and actually vote, so it probably will do great things for voter turnout.
It is important that all citizens of Wisconsin get out and vote, both in the primary and the recall election. I would like to find out that at least more than half of the citizens in Wisconsin are not, in fact, stupid beyond redemption.

Voting Criteria
Here's a thought for Wisconsin voters.
Let's have a criteria for the next two elections.
Here's a criteria.
Don't vote for anyone who has established a criminal legal defense fund. Scott Walker has spent over $100,000 on attorneys under the smoking gun of the John Doe Investigation. Do we really need a person like this in any kind of office? I think Mr. Walker should view life from the inside of a prison cell. Get a narrow space to match his narrow mind.
