Walker Fails His Transparency Test, Again

The New Walker proves by closing his post-election brat-and-beer cookout to the media that he is very much like the Old Walker, where transparency is for news releases and PR only.

From his 2010 campaign:

Transparency

When he says he believes in government transparency, it's not just a campaign slogan, Walker said.

"I don't just say that, I've lived it," he said.

Who would say; “my house is on fire…………..probably?”
Scientists say; “CO2’s effects will be deadly………probably?”

Besides them all grunting; “climate change is real and happening”, scientists do not have any consensus on “effects” at all, let alone science having the perceived consensus on actual deadly effects. The IPCC always qualifies any CO2 effect with the free pass of; “probable”. If they just said; “A deadly climate crisis from Human CO2 will kill the planet.” and we are all %100 certain.” I’d listen to the lab coats.
Deny that!

And so far through this past weekend, John Lehman has NOT been invited to the brat summit.

Will Van Wangaard be?

mememine69, you apparently haven't the first idea of how science works. We can't know very much of anything with absolute certainty -- nothing, in fact, if you accept the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. Thus, scientists always speak in the context of statistical probability. When an influence or event can be measured with sufficiently high probability, it becomes a working theory. That's how the Manhattan Project succeeded in building an A-bomb. Scientists never say something "will" happen; they say there's a high probability it will happen. That's just the state of the art. If it's not good enough for you, then your alternative is Middle Ages fear and mysticism.

If I were the Wisconsin Dems, I'd be highly suspicious of going into the Republicave without witnesses. Maybe he's planning to drop another bomb, a literal one.

@mememine69:

Who's gonna believe you when you haven't even posted your comment to the right blog post? Who knows if you're even on the right blog at all? By the looks of your picture, you may belong on 'Jackass'. By the logic of your comment, it's 100% guaranteed you do.

Suggestion: Lick your finger and stick it into an electric socket. Then come back and tell us if you 'believe' in electricity.

A. Wag -- I'm not too worried about a bomb -- too messy, I think -- but it would be a good idea for the Democratic legislators to bing their own food and beer.
