The Battle in Wisconsin

We've been watching the unfolding battle over paleo-Rethug and teatard Gov. Scott "Too Much Johnnie" Walker's attempt to bust public sector unions in Wisconsin (birthplace, for God's sake, of the Progressive movement). Under the guise of budget trimming, Walker has introduced a brazen bill to end collective bargaining for many public sector employees in Wisconsin. What this is really about is Walker trying to knock off his political enemies, not balancing the State budget. After several days of mass demonstrations at the State capitol in Madison, Walker really has a fight on his hands, with 14 Democratic state senators leaving the state to prevent a quorum in the State senate. To which we say, "We hear it's lovely in south Florida this time of year!"
