1. No guns and ammo? Commie pinko scum. 2nd amendment hater.

2. Guns are ok for schools, but I guess not for Scooter.

I wonder if his NRA rating will drop from an A+ to an A over that infringement on the rights of the gun and ammunition industries?

4. Can't believe it's been 3 years since @ScottWalker made history by winning the recall

His victory in the recall is a big part of his running for the presidency!

5. So tanks are okay?

Small or medium sized bags of dog poop, live skunks, eleven thousand mice, tubas?

"What do you mean my service animal can't come in?"
"He's my seeing eye bear".

7. ...and "airport-like security"? Do we have to remove our shoes?

Also, has there really been that big of a problem with people bringing electric stun guns and martial arts weapons to Walker events?

8. In all fairness

I'm pretty sure that in conversations about Scott Walker, the word nunchuks (nunchaku) is said with far greater frequency than it usually occurs.


I see it as an admission of failed policies. The combination of slashing social programs, cutting mental health coverage, reducing education to the barest possible limit, victim shaming of impoverished citizens, and deliberate disenfranchisement of select groups of people in an attempt to create a docile serf strata within the country; and with making sure the hopeless are heavily armed. That is coming back to haunt them.
Remember Walker didn't include the Police Unions in Act 10. As with the Roman Emperors of old, me had to buy the loyalty of a Praetorian Guard.

9. Dane County Sheriff Dave Mahoney pulled his deputies from guarding the Capitol

Law enforcement officers are doing their jobs, but I don't think Walker can buy any public worker's loyalty, even though he might think he can. Just because he can be bought doesn't mean everybody can. Remember when Dave Mahoney pulled his deputies from guarding the Capitol doors back in February 2011. He did what was right, not what the King wanted. I have always admired him for that.

The sheriff objected when Dane County deputies, who have been frontline officers from the start of the recent protests, were told the doors of the Capitol would not be opened. Finally, he pulled his officers from the scene.

“When asked to stand guard at the doors that duty was turned over to the Wisconsin State Patrol because our deputies would not stand and be palace guards,” said Sheriff Mahoney. “I refused to put deputy sheriffs in a position to be palace guards”...

“I smile everyday at what I am seeing take place in this building,” the lawman told me as we walked amid throngs of protesters on Sunday, before Walker’s administration ordered an aggressive crackdown on dissent.

10. Tubas? Did you say TUBAS?

11. An underrated instrument.

I will admit at the time I posted that, I was picturing 4 or 5 people spread out in the crowd playing a medley of Disney(c) songs. Each one playing a different medley during the formal announcement.
Or one playing heavy metal, one country, one a nice free form jazz, one reggae, and the last playing "Pop Goes the Weasel" (which seems like the most appropriate song).
