Geez - Walker got his LAST job because he WON a Recall. The far right only hate things when it goes against THEM. It's OK when THEY have a recall but not when the left want a recall, then it's not fair.
MOVE ON!! We can all watch the Republican efforts to recall the Senator in District 21 from a distance.Which is OK I guess.
At LEAST we can now sit back and watch all of the anti-cigarette ad's on TV with dismembered smokers now instead the 24/7 Walker advertisements. Money DOES win elections, not facts.

Wondering what that is? It reads "Check out this cool website" It takes your words and makes them into images.
For instance.
Looks like "The" is a tough word' It reads "Brewers beat the Cubs with a homerun in extra innings".
The Image Language

Had the annual Andy Winn Memorial Golf/Brewer outing yesterday (Andy is still among the living).
I had decided to not take my camera this year because my camera means so much more to me now. Bad things can happen. I WISH I would have taken it.
This year we golfed at the Naga-Waukee War Memorial Golf Course which is what I consider the best Muni course I had ever played. Outstanding beauty and tough without being ridicules.
HOWEVER - the last 3 or 4 holes seem to be straight up. Seriously big climbs. One hole you hit the ball and that is the last level thing you will do, climb climb climb. One thing of note was that while I was taking a break waiting for my heart to stop tpounding I spotted a Baltimore Oriole.
Next hole is literally a heart pounder. 45 degrees up. We put the carts in front of us and climbed. Luckily we were playing the White tees. Adubya was playing the Blue and he said he almost cried because he still had another 20 feet UP to go for his tee.
BUT WAIT. We finish that hole and I look around for the next tee. I see what looks like a goat trail leading up a very very steep climb. NO WAY, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? SERIOUSLY?
Perhaps a 20 foot climb. I doubt you can walk up this without golf spikes. The front wheel of my cart were LITERALLY higher then my head.
I get up and look back at balderdash is saying "OH, it's not that bad" and we all break out laughing and he almost didn't make it.
However - the very very funny part of this day was on hole #10. We are starting the back nine and I crushed my drive perfectly straight but in slightly the wrong direction. Not sure where my ball is as it went over a large hill (as it should) but to the left. What could possibly go wrong.
I find my ball which is like 2 feet off the nice fairway an is on pile of mulch. Three strokes, one lost ball and 15 feet farther I'm walking down this very very long and steep decline hanging on to my cart. Well, I figure I ball is at the bottom of the hill, I'll let the cart go and meet it at the bottom. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG.
I let the cart go and it is heading down the hill, gaining speed and it starts to veer towards Andy. "ANDY, WATCH OUT" I yell and the cart, still gaining speed and veering more and more to the right zooms past Andy at break neck speed and his heading out of bounds which looks like the Black Forest with creeks cliffs and who knows what. It's perhaps 70 yards ahead of me now and still gaining speed like a runaway train.
It hits the out of bounds and crashes into some shrubs with so much speed the wheels lift off the ground. The shrubs bend backwards like a spring and as momentum slows flings the clubs and cart backwards. BAM!!! Upside down with a crash.
Lesson learned . . . . I thought.
Remember that hole where we climbed up and adubya had almost cried (not really but you get it).
I duffed my "drive" and now instead of a 150 yard hole I had a 100 yard hole and I hit a nice shot to the green but all of a sudden I hear yelling and ZOOM!! There goes adubya's cart flying past me going about 20mph and a few seconds later adubya goes flying past me going . . 10mph?? It's a scene I will never ever forget. Like he will catch it? It is also heading out of bounds (I believe the carts are trying to escape their captors). Luckily for adubya who's driver is probably more expensive then my entire bag, his cart hits a big furry pine tree before it crosses the road.
I was a great golf outing and Andy will be missed (moving to the east coast).

This shot was taken at the top of the of I think 14 or 16 tee. It was BEFORE the real elevation holes.
OK - I gotta get some real photo work done. Before I talk with RAW Madison people. Seems I'll be in the July 19th event.
