Scott Walker - Surrounded!

John Schulze, the Face of Wisconsin GOPsters
Is that Strike 3? I can't keep track anymore of Walker's selected subordinates who have had to leave their jobs because they couldn't keep their racism or the fact they're an A$$hole to themselves.

As of today, John Schulze, a long time fixture of the Badgered State Republicons is no longer Legal Counsel for Walker's DOT. He thought an email about VD, Blowjobs, and bringing prostitution to the Dells and a jobs program for poor people was funny and couldn't resist sharing. No wonder Republicons think Dennis Miller is a comedian, they have no sense of humor either!

Then there was the email from County Executive Walker's Chief of Staff Tom Nardelli who thought a story ending like this was funny and worthy of wide distribution: "Say it isn't so!!! I can handle being a black, disabled, one armed, drug addicted, Jewish homosexual an a pacemaker who is HIV positive, bald, orphaned, unemployed, lives in a slum, and has a Mexican boyfriend, please, Oh dear God, please don't tell me I'm a Democrat!"

So how would judge Scott "Divide & Conquer" Walker in light of the recent revelations above, the Walker tried to dismiss as "old news"?

  • His austerity steeped failure to create the 250,000 jobs he promised or even keep pace with job growth nationally?
  • His inability to manage the Frankenagency (WEDC) that he created in a fiscally responsible manner?
  • The felonies committed right under his nose by his staff as Milwaukee County Executive, supposedly without his having a clue?
  • Or the values of utter ILL-WILL expressed by the staff he selected to represent his Administration?
What would Scott Walker say? "Governors should be defined not just by what they do and say, but who they surround themselves with, making sure to have the smartest person for a particular task or to head a specific agency. They should be judged on that basis and who they take advice from." - Scott Walker, interview with The American Thinker, January 14, 2014

Well Gubnah, I couldn't agree more!

Waterford Solidifies Status as Racine Co.'s Reactionary Refuge

Waterford took a great pains on Saturday to solidify it's status as Racine County's refuge for reactionary wingnuts. As we ussually do on the 4th, we went to our friend's house in Waterford to watch the parade. It's typically a nice little parade, a few too many trucks one can see on any road any day of the year and not enough marching bands pounding out John Phillip Souza, but nice nonetheless. But this year I was aghast to see a pickup truck in the parade flying too large confederate flags. I stood and booed.

What kind of moron thinks that the stars and bars has any place in a parade celebrating the 233rd anniversary of the declaration of independence of our nation!? What official approved of the moron's entry into the parade? I sat back down and thought the whole thing was some kind of a fluke when another big confederate flag goes by. I stood and booed again.

I was so taken a back by this display of drool that I didn't even notice the groups or businesses that were advertizing themselves in this disgusting way.

Let us recall that Waterford is the town where last year a minority student, a wonderful young man by the way, who grew up in the area was driven out Waterford High School by repeated racist harassment by other students that went largely unchecked by the administration. It is also Waterford where I was shocked to hear a grandmotherly woman tell Paul Ryan to bomb all those sandnigger's in the middle-east. What's it gonna be next year Waterford, the imperial dra-goon of the ku klux fux leading the grand march?

Let us also remember the this is WISCONSIN, you know the north, the Union, the side of right and the side that won the civil war thank God and put an end to the attrocity of slavery that that pathetic flag stands for. To parade this symbol of racism and national division down Main Street on the Fourth of July was absolutely repugnant and totally inappropriate.

Unfortunately, despite (perhaps because of) the fact that we've elected a black president this sort of small mindedness still comes out of the wood work. We have a country where people have a right to this sort of rednecked bigotry and ignorance. But that doesn't mean we have to let them put it on public display while celebrating our nation's birthday. Shame be upon you Waterford!
