An interesting research on Walker is near the bottom of this blog (in case you get bored halfway through).
------------
Meeting Places - in case of disaster, after much discussion and having the family shoot down meeting at the closest brewery (which seemed totally logical to me) we decided that fire stations were the place to go. I think Jenny wanted to meet at Taco Bell but if I could not have breweries she could not have Taco Bell.

Friday I was in the basement putting some hardware on canvas and there was a tap tap tap at the walkout basement door. I assumed it was Blake wanting to come in and turned around and saw this.
Elizabeth said it was one of the (lesser) signs of the apocalypse (thus another reason to have meeting places). Notice Mr. Pleasant Pheasant is looking at my bag of bird food! I think he has been watching me from the bushes!
We're going to put up another feeder next to the other clump of birches. This one will be made so big birds can't get to it. Jenny says her feeders are just Grackle feeding stations! I know we can go through an entire tube of food in one day if the Grackles are around.

Caydence, Sydney and Jenny were over Saturday and Caydence is getting over a cold (which oddly we ALL seem to have at the moment). I took this when DJ was playing with miserable feeling Caydence!
Man she looks like she is really feeling this cold! I tell ya - children with down syndrome are just awesome!

For any of you that are still in protest mode - this site should be archived in the history of Madison. It's outstanding. A 360 degree view of the protests with the sounds! Check it out!

The Japan nuke reactors have not melted down . . . YET!! The have evacuated everyone in the last few hours from the plant and their government is now saying that "drastic measures might be needed". DO YA THINK???? REALLY? NOW MIGHT BE A GOOD TIME!!!
At least we started bombing Libya - that will calm things down a bit! A good bombing always puts people at ease.

Speaking of Christmas trees - I'm not sure they will EVER pick ours up! It's like they just decided to not come down our street! It's becoming mulch! Also - what about garbage like old gas grills, can I leave them out and they will pick it up? What the deal with stuff like that???
Inquiring minds want to know!

And Finally Walker - never mind that email thing - old news and as one researcher said - it really makes no difference because what has happened SINCE he sent out the letter.
Here is a true Political Science assessment on Scott Walker's impact on voting intent and partisan ID in Wisconsin since his inauguration.
Voting Intention of certain voters
June 2010
29% Democrat
13% Independent voting Dem
_______________
42%
11% Pure Independent
______________________
26% Republican
21% Independent voting Republican
_____________________
47%
These numbers are what generated November 2010s landslide for the Republicans in Wisconsin and allowed Scott Walker to be elected with 52% of the vote. Yup, he launched his extremist agenda based on an election he won 52 -47. The "pure" independents split almost down the middle between Walker and Barrett. Hardly a transformation mandate from the Wisconsin electorate.
MARCH 2011
30% Democrat
18% Independent voting Dem
_____________________
48%
11% Pure Independent
25% Republican
14% Independent voting Republican
______________________
39%
As you can see the recent protest activity has not really generated more Democrats, or caused people to leave the Republican Party, what the poll does show however is that soft partisans and Independent leaners have shifted strongly against the Republican Party. Put another way, the impact of Scott Walker is rather than emulate his hero Ronald Reagan by destroying a union
And the blowback against union busting misogynistic Justice David PROSSER is mounting. He was hit hard this weekend in the press for his abusive and sexist treatment of Justice Shirley Abrahamson calling her a "Bitch" in Chambers, and threatening to "destroy" Justice Shirley because she was on the side that held corrupt dishonest racist Justice Michael Gableman violated the law with the blatant lies and racist slanders he leveled at then Justice Butler. That is how Conservative Republican Justice Prosser acts toward women they disagree - they call them bitch and threaten them in an attempt at intimidation. Prosser is a shameful bitter bully and merits immediate enforced retirement.
VOTE Kloppenrberg for Wisconsin Supreme Court!
