POWER TO THE PEOPLE

Let's just start this off with saying that Norma Rae lived in Winder for a while, seriously. Union now, union forever... from way back. All this push and pull in Wisconsin is just so much to get my head around, it has NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH THEIR STATE BUDGET!!!

Listen, I know you might not really give a hot patootie about freaking unions in some icy state that I don't live in, really, but this is all so, SO, important folks.

THEN the phone call..... just outright indisputable proof that the Koch Brothers have their hand WAAAAy up Scott Walkers ass... I mean, it is HARD to get proof of stuff like this.... really.
