Teaparty running UW-Madison?
Scott Walker's budget bill also includes putting UW-Madison under the control of a 21-member board, the majority of whom will be appointed by the governor.

7. Agree 100%, and yet our party leadership seems to still refuse to see
what is right in front of their faces, and has been for years. (And that's my more hopeful take on it; the less hopeful is that know exactly what they're doing, are owned by the same people , and it is all just a good cop/bad cop kabuki show now.

8. On my good days I want to believe option2 isn't going on
And the good days seem to be wonderful memories of a great country.

But Warren Buffet says America's best days are ahead. I really wish he had to self-interest in saying that cuz I would love to bite.

12. Fun With Tea-Bagging (video)
I personally interviewed a few Tea-Party / Republican leaders recently. I think it turned out HILARIOUS. After debunking all of their conspiracy theories I confronted them about the President being born in the USA.
