Hidden in today's JS article on Milwaukee County's situation was a mention that it was already $4.4 million in deficit for this year. Guess who signed off on that last budget? If you guessed Scott Walker. YOU ARE CORRECT!<br /><br /> I'm saying a Walker lackey leaks out the redistricting signing around 5:30 tonight.

Your statement that "Walker wo...To Anonymous2,<br />Your statement that "Walker won the 'walker referendum' of the Prosser election," is overly optimistic.<br />An American Enterprise Institute analyst writing for National Review Online, warned that when you compared the Walker-Barrett race to the Prosser-Kloppenburg race, Prosser won only because he did much better than Walker in Milwaukee County. The analyst explained this was because there was much lower turnout in Milwaukee County than in other predominantly Democratic counties, and that conservative candidates in non-partisan races in Milwaukee County consistently run several points better than Republican candidates in hard-fought partisan races.<br />In other words, Skippy and Alberta Darling have plenty to sweat over.Bill Kurtznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-69729775320188958542011-07-22T12:03:36.877-05:002011-07-22T12:03:36.877-05:00I recall Walker making one important announcement ...I recall Walker making one important announcement on a <i>Saturday</i>.

Mama used to say (this is true) that Heinous Bastards like to drop "bad things" on their targets on Friday for the sheer sadistic joy of it.<br />Business Offices are closed over the weekend, you can't really ACT on anything, can't get any defensive wheels in motion, can't call your lawyer, can't go dispute or resolve anything. You have to stew, twist, and turn in sleepless misery. It ramps up the feelings of THEM being all-powerful and calling the shots - YOU being powerless, and a "react-or", not an "actor".<br /> <br />They giveth like Gods, you receiveth like Bitchez,<br /><br />Then if all goes well, By Monday morning you're a drooling basket-case who can barely string a few words into sentences and so are that much less able to fight back effectively.<br />I guess you could call these "non-traditional bedtime stories" but anyways, all these years later, I have to say, they hold up to reality testing rather well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-29406964207208770902011-07-22T05:23:12.188-05:002011-07-22T05:23:12.188-05:00If you want to make a prediction that's likely...If you want to make a prediction that's likely to come true, predict that King Scottie will propose a tax cut. Sometime in the next 6 months, a billion or so will magically "appear" in the state treasury, and The King will give it back to the people as a tax rebate or as a rate cut. It is the only real strategy this one-trick pony has, and it will appeal strongly to the many people who have been convinced that the single essential virtue of government is that it be cheap.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
