You know all this shit politics I have been witnessing
since the coronation of George Bush and up until now in Wisconsin, I had witnessed before in South America among the various banana republics ruled by dictators and an upper class elite of the very rich. It has never been so blatant before though. Even Dubya tried to maintain the appearance of a Constitutional President. But this asshole Walker might as well put on a military outfit with lots of braid and medals and call himself Generalissimo.

3. The blatant dictatorial moves in MI almost make WI look democratic by comparison.
The scary part is how blatant it is in quite a few states at the same time.

8. I wish the Michigan situation was getting more attention..
Being able to unilaterally replace elected officials with cronies should be notable in it's excess.

6. Absolutely, Cleita.

In the banana republics, the top 1-percent own 99-percent of the wealth. What's the trend in the USA?



Guverner Walker looks like he can't live without either Ex-Lax or Viagra.

Perhaps Generalissimo Walker will rename the state in honor of his paymasters?
