Wow! First time I’ve seen you post in years. I thought you got eaten by a black bear at the musky bar in Lac du Flambeau.

Stay more current, Diana, and poke your head up once in a while to let us know about your nefarious schemes. You northern Wisconsin women are impeccable and mysterious. I’ll be up there fishing for walleyes this summer.

Do you still eat chocolate fudge?

Cheers.

Great article. I agree with you. I think he will be fair but a no-nonsense type of guy, which is way past due. Especially when the article mentioned how the protestors would follow employees around to their desks & distrupt their work. I hope there will be some head busting as well! RAT bastard liberals, socialists, & unions. Taking care of these bastards is way past due!

All Government employees should realize that the process of collective bargaining, as usually understood, cannot be transplanted into the public service.

I’m in Port Washington in Ozaukee County. Quite conservative with scattered pockets of liberalism. I’ve got my dog trained to use those yards for his toilet. I clean up the mess of course. Even liberals in my neighborhood get my courtesy, whether they deserve it or not. And Beauregard earns himself a nice knibblet for his patriotic poopage.

That was actually the State of Illinois you heard - the get away state for Wisconsin Politicians whom do not want to work when it comes to pass a bill. Illinois is preparing its citizenry to go up to Wisconsin to protest in Madison. Since, if they protest in Illinois, Jesse Jackson will scream racism and want their guns seized.

Hi, Dave!

Yes, yes and yes! Thanks for all the nice compliments. :)

In the past two years I was promoted at work, so less time to screw around on the WWW. Fell in ‘love’ (or something like that) so now I have my farm and another to help run. Taking care of my Dad who is resisting going to a facility, so we’re doing what we can with additional home help for now, and just enjoying life in general...in my spare time. *SMIRK*

However, the chocolate stash is a little low these days, so feel free to send some my way! :)

5:56 p.m. CST, January 18, 2013
A federal appeals court on Friday upheld a controversial Wisconsin law that restricts the power of public-sector unions, the passage of which sparked an unsuccessful effort to recall the state’s Republican Governor, Scott Walker.

By a 2-1 vote, the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago found that the 2011 law is constitutional, rejecting claims that it violated the equal protection and First Amendment rights of union members.

It reversed part of a March 2012 ruling by U.S. District Judge William Conley in Madison, Wisconsin.

Thank you for providing the link. Obviously, who appointed these judges seems to be unimportant background, when in fact it is the entire story.

A 2-1 win, with the two majority judges appointed by Reagan and Ford; the dissent from an asshole Obama judge.

With 4 more years of Obama stacking the judiciary, it is going to take decades to unravel the damage he will inflict on the courts.

And it’s journalistic malpatrice to not even report who appointed the judges.

What a great victory! I'm hearing from tweeters that the teacher union membership lost over 50% shortly after it was passed. Now it may drop off to next to nothing. That combined with November election which resulted in a solid GOP quorum which makes the shenanigans of democrats fleeing to Illinois to shut down govt impossible, would seem to a final nail in this hard fought battle in WI. I'm sure dems will keep trying in the future but this is such a solid win now.

When you also consider Michigan passing Right to Work laws, it just shows that Nov 2012 was not a total loss.

great victory for a principled conservative backed by principled conservatives. i’ve been saying it for two years and i’ll say it again. just shift the year. gov. walker for president!

btw, wisconsin was where the bulk of my contributions and effort went in the last two years. gov. walker’s victories are therefore ever so much more gratifying. i mean the gov, the state senate, the state supreme court, even the lower house, and local offices.

i bet a bunch of other conservatives did the same thing too.

“With 4 more years of Obama stacking the judiciary, it is going to take decades to unravel the damage he will inflict on the courts.”

That was the message that I told all of the ‘conservatives’ that said they would stay home rather than vote for the Republican nominee, which was to at least not let Obama re take the White House because he will stack all of the federal courts for many years to come.

So much for that.
