At grocery store today there was a real booming
conversation about Walker today. As I walked into Piggley Wiggley today there was a bunch of seniors and clerks standing around the registers complaining about Walker. One older man said, well he certainly won't be there in 4 years...as if in unison everyone there just yelled, he'll be out long before that..


So I think the recall is alive and booming...I smiled the whole time I was shopping.

14. The other option is to recall 8 to 9 Republican Senators
which basically neuters him....

50. only if . . .
either they change their votes, (and don't change their minds under pressure from Wanker)
or they get pushed out.
But then, we still must win those elections.

62. Well, of course we would need to win the recall elections
I'm just saying while we may need to recall 8 just to get 3, all we need is three.

24. Which town are you go to the rally in?
There one here, Tallahassee, tomorrow, but I can't go. I could barely walk today and the hills in downtown Tally are not good for my knees, much less the standing.

27. agreed, Lorien, agreed! There's too many that are disconnected, sadly, most (not all) of them are
GOPers, thus, why they continue to vote for disgusting pieces of dung like Tea Party sweetheart, Rick Scott.


I was telling my one GOP (she's not militant about it, just negative about our side, and ignorant about why she's a GOPer you know the type), about the Wisconsin mess, because she saw my eyes so fixed on reading Cenk's words on the TV at Chevy's Mexican Restaurant (all the tv's were on ESPN & MSNBC, 3 of each!), and asked what I was so interested in, I told her what was going on and told her how it's disgusting that these governors, ours included want to ignore promoting jobs, and protecting the suffering who have little as it is, and want to cut the budgets for every social need it seems, but are all for corporate tax breaks, and my goodness, hallelujah, she agreed with me for once!

Used to shop at those stores in the early 80's.

We have two in my area. One is, and one is not. They had both been union, but someone bought one of them and got rid of the union last year. : (

40. RIck Scott Giveway
Rachel Maddow was talking last night on her show about Scott taking $1.7 Billion away from education and giving it out as tax breaks and giveaways. I just don't get it. The Republicans don't even make an effort to be fiscally responsible and deal with their budget problems.

61. Wisconsin was on my list of possible vacation spots this year
but, not any more. Went to Michigan last year and Wisconsin might have been the next trip.
I think we should all email the Tourism Board and let them know we are not coming.

45. at least you spelled it right, with no E's
I guess it did start in Memphis, Tn http://www.pigglywiggly.com/about-us

Sorta created the modern grocery store.

I think of them as quintessentially Wisconsin, since my grandfather was talking about them in Madison.

41. isn't there a way to just impeach the bastard? Fraud or false pretenses or something?
Waiting a year for a recall seems totally inefficient, seeing as he's abusing power right now. What's on the Wisconsin state charter that would get him outta there tomorrow?

55. Impeachment would bring us the lieutenant governor
who is just as bad. Rebecca Kleefisch is very right-wing, used to be a TV reporter, and is married to a state representative. I have heard that the recall of Walker, when it comes in January, will also include recall of Kleefisch.

Is it Sen. Kleefisch? I will have to look this up... I don't know where I read this, but Rebecca doesn't have some of the Lt. Gov. responsibilities... Those were given to two other men?

but will probably just make him easier to remove.

just above the state line by the lake.


Where American Motors started (now Chrysler)- it's definitely a union town - the last Chrysler plant just closed, but we are hoping another auto manufacturer moves in since it was just retooled with state of the art production lines.

The scales will tip over. I hear they are attempting to get 1000 tractors to Madison. That will be a hard to ignore sight and Fox will have a hell of a time attempting to paint farmers as union thugs.
