Department of D'Oh!


Often the liberty-lovin', Gummint-hatin' ideologues of the far right exercise their second amendment rights on one of their feet. Case in point: teatard Rethuglican Governor-elect Scott "Take A" Walker of Wisconsin. Teahadist Take A Walker is planning to refuse $810 million in Federal economic recovery funding for a high speed rail line between Milwaukee and Madison. The consequences of that loopy decision are the closing of the rail car plant in Milwaukee and the ultimate loss of 13,000 jobs that would have been created for the company which planned to manufacture high speed rail cars for other customers. Nothing like wanting to grow jobs.

While the decision might give a right-wing teatard like Take a Walker a warm feeling in his pants, it's a cold decision for those Wisconsinites wanting to find work. Although it's too late now, maybe by the next election he'll find himself out of work.
