2. DH and I are Wisconsin Natives and we are so proud
To see people really pushing back against this crap.

Honestly, I was shocked to see the state go red.

6. Personally I am not so sure it went totally Red. I say this also for MN. Find the
overwhelming going "Red" in both States highly suspect personally.

5. "We shouldn't bother politicians at home"
"Think of his wife and kids- THEY aren't at fault here"
"This isn't fair to the neighbors"
"LEAVE BRITTNEY ALONE"

:D

Sorry. Just preempting the "centrists" before they start bleating about how "we should be better than this".

9. You're right, the wife and kids aren't at fault...they are the KEY

Scott listens to no one with respect to fair and humane treatment. Perhaps the sorrow that his family must live with will make him aware that his actions impact real people.

We can hope for a small scale start.

He's at the MANSION folks. You know, the property that could have been sold to pay down the deficit, along with thousands of other state properties and items that could be sold off. Get rid of land and supplies before you affect humans.

A friend of mine who works in the "private sector" is getting her bonus this week. $20,000.00. Yeah, really sounds like the private sector is suffering. That's almost 1/2 my state salary for the year.

15. In the old times, the Celts set bonfires to alert their relatives
that something was going on...pinging the internet is the modern day equivalent.

Hurrah! For your niece and neighbor!

21. Nothing on CNN and nothing in the NY Times...
It's like the events in Wisconsin aren't even happening. It is the most bizarre thing I think I have seen in a long time. Oh but protests everywhere else are mentioned.
