It's Indanas turn

To watch their Democrats bravely run away from their governing responsibilities they were voted in to use.
So they can stop those Rethuglicans from voting to reign in the public sector Unions.

Are ther going to be Union thugs bussed in from NYC, too? Cleveland has lots of corrupt Unions, right? And it's closer.
And the Community Organizer-in-Chief will be backing them, too.
Telling everyone that those Dems are doing a good job by stopping a dangerous set of legislation for harming the workers of America.

Yeah, right.
If it's good when Democrats stop the state governments from doing their jobs-

How are their Media Lapdogs going to try spinning the DeeCee shutdown?
That wouldn't have happened if the Democrats running Congress had done their jobs SIX MONTHS ago and passed a budget.

And now for something completely different

Now you know more about our formerly best ally than our Community-Organizer-in-Chief.

This will show my age-

I remember when the Wisconsin education system was one of the best in the nation.

My how times have changed.

...only 32 percent of Wisconsin public-school eighth graders earned a “proficient” rating while another 2 percent earned an “advanced” rating. The other 66 percent of Wisconsin public-school eighth graders earned ratings below “proficient,” including 44 percent who earned a rating of “basic” and 22 percent who earned a rating of “below basic.”

See, if I knew I was doing such a crappy job- I sure wouldn't be drawing attention to it. I sure wouldn't if I knew how my employers were LOOKING for problems.

Wisconsin public school eighth graders once again scored an average of 266 out of 500 on the NAEP reading test. Meanwhile, Wisconsin public schools increased their per pupil expenditures from $4,956 per pupil in 1998 to 10,791 per pupil in 2008. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics inflation calculator the $4,956 Wisconsin spent per pupil in 1998 dollars equaled $6,546 in 2008 dollars. That means that from 1998 to 2008, Wisconsin public schools increased their per pupil spending by $4,245 in real terms yet did not add a single point to the reading scores of their eighth graders and still could lift only one-third of their eighth graders to at least a “proficient” level in reading.

But, then I don't have a Masters of Ed, and I'm used to having to show results.

If I was any kind of supervisor in Wisconsin

And someone handed me one of those bogus DR. notes- I think the conversation would go something like this...

Me: "What's this?"
Union Thug: "That's my medical excuse for a week and a half."

ME: "It doesn't say what your problem was."
UT: "Section 305.83 part 37- Subsection b of the last contract says that privileged information and you can't ask."

"OK, I don't see any address on here, where did you go?"
UT: "I was visiting some relatives in Verona (SW of Madison) and they took me to this guy in Madison."

"There is no pone number."
UT:"He said to use the e-mail, he had to cut staff."

"You know I'm going to fight this."
UT "you can't Section 303.85 part 37 Subsection n says you have to pay me for sick time if I have a DRs excuse."

"If I don't get a legitimate phone number and business address..."
UT "Don;t try pulling that sh1t on me- I didn't just start here."

"Dude- You can sik tour Union lawyers on me, but I have a legitimate question about this note and until I hear from HR that they got a bill from this DR.- I'm not paying you."
UT" "YOU CAN'T dock my pay."

"The ONLY reason you're back here right now is that I haven't put it to the board yet that you just proved that your position isn't essential, and we'll be looking at it the next budget session."

..."anything else?" "There's the door."

Hi, my name is Kurt

and I am here to admit to you all that I-
A Conservative heterosexual thru-and-thru [except the good gay thing....hunny...;-) ]

have to admit that I have a mancrush on this guy:

and the way he unloads on that Islamaphile from CAIR.

Grab you newfangled Jiffy-pop and warm up the TV

I'll be right there with the sodapop.

Because today we're going on a Med-cruise.

Something's not right here...

with this sign.


Here, let me fix it for you...



There, all better!

There's an old saying

If you 'really' want to know why someone is doing something- Follow the money.

In spit of the flowery words from the liberal media and the hate filled rhetoric (that I notice no-one is calling to put a halt to) of the Union thugs- no one has really goit to the bottom of the whole thing.
And the Unions certainly don't want anyone knowing.

I don't know if Steven F. Hayes caught it when he wrote it.
But it's there in black and white. What the whole thing is about and why the unions and Obama need to stop this legislation here and now.

In the last sentence of the fourth paragraph:
What’s more, Wisconsin teachers pay as much as $1100 each year in compulsory union dues. If the legislation passes, they will no longer be required to pay thosee dues – returning that money to their own pockets.

Do you know what that means?
Walker wants to turn Union friendly Wisconsin into a right-to-work state...like Texas.

...And speaking of old sayings, Texas has one relating to that.
"Union is a bad word down here."

Calling all John Edwards wannabes

Yes, all you trial lawyers who want to make a name for yourselves- and a financial killing at the same time.

All you have to do is find ONE person who was really sick or suffering that got one of those gimme excuses- that didn't get treated.

BINGO- with the way people feel about those Unions now...you just won yourself a medical practice AND an insurance company.

Meanwhile,,,in Oz

If guns weren't outlawed, would it be a "shooty thing"?



That blonde is either clueless or a good poker player.

Via DPuD

When is Obama going to

call for Gov. Walker to step down?

Look it at it-
He's pro America
Was put into power Constitutionally
Has unruly mobs protesting him.
Team Obama is working with the Unions...


Because he's been on the wrong side of Americas interests on everything I can remember his entire Presidency.

Now we know why 0bama idolizes himself

It's all right there in the headline and header.

No need to say more.

Wow!
Talk about a coincidence! Just the other day I was telling the wife:
"Gee, I wish I could win half a million Dollars in a lottery that I never heard of>"

...And--POOF here you are!

WOW!

Hey, I'm a giving kind of guy and would probably just turn around and hand it to some needy charity case.
So, since you people are always running to us in the U.S.- lets cut out the middle-man and you just keep that money.

Toodles,
Kurt

As we watch with a laser like focus

on the Union temper tantrum unfolding in Madison and soon cities near you, things are happening in other places.

These things are really dictatorships- you union thugs and the DNC might want to learn about. They're out shooting their own people, not asking you to pay 5% of your OWN pensions.

In other important news

Sarah Ferguson will not be going to the royal wedding.

Poor Sarah, I'll be glad to let you party at my house.







Mmmmmmm. Redheads, with brains and bodies....

For someone who grew up watching good British TeeWee

Like Benny Hill, Monty Python, The Two fat ladies, Top Gear, Dr. Who and the rest of the best of BBC.

She sure doesn't mind sitting on front of that overblown dialogue with fast repartee and the obligatory plot twists that are NCIS, CSI whatever City, and the rest of those police 'dramas' right Bones?

But what does it mean?

Who wants to take a stab at interpreting this sign/omen/portending,,,whatever.

Now, don't you feel bad?

This dedicated professional is using her life as an example of why public Unions need their fully paid bennies.


Just push that pen and paper aside, you don't need to do any math because we need to empathize with her predicament.

Stolen from Joel



Now stop laughing- she's serious!

This video from yesterdays taxpayer funded protest

I waded through the whole thing so you don't have to put yourself through the trouble.



You're welcome:-)

Wisconsin Government Worker Union Protests, February 17, 2011 from WPRI on Vimeo.

If you put it on full screen, you can enjoy almost being there, except for the lack of patchouli oil smell.
You won't miss much except for the worn out chants from the 60's if you want to forward to

5:14- what is that last word of the tolerant Liberals sign? "Walker not allowed in my classroom I won't tolerate....." what? Teacher, you get a D- in penmanship!

5:26 It wouldn't be a hippie anti-government protest without a DRUM CIRCLE!!! Yeayyyy!!!

The ten seconds between 6:30 and 6:40 Mr. Blue coat tells every one the REAL reason they're there.

6:53 Someone doesn't know her world history, or her cinematic lore. WTF?

And finally our star pupil of the day walks up with her sign at 7:30.
If you don't go anywhere else- go there. Srysly.


There are several comments about our stouthearted protesters that you might notice.

FIRST- Did anyone notice the color theme going on clothing-wize? (yeah, I know it's home turf for the Badgers,,,but that's not the only thing red represents)

SECOND- Did anyone notice a lot of people besides the protesters? Want to know why they weren't there? ...Because they were WORKING to earn money to pay those Union thugs.

THIRD- There don't seem to be a whole lot of racial diversity in those Unions does it?

Remember when it was 'bad' to target people?

Way back about a month ago...
Because it was a cheap sleazy way to attack Sarah Palin.

When putting a target on a MAP was an invite to kill?
But when you're a taxpayer funded Union thug, this-


Has no bearing on the snip I madeof this teachers Union rag.



Because overpaid Union thugs who can take time off from their non-necessary make-work job would NEVER go as far as committing violence against anyone who isn't in lockstep with them- right SEIU?

"It can't happen here"

Yes it can- and did.
69 years ago today.

A Liberal Democrat used his executive powers to strip the Constitutional rights of tens of thousands of Americans...at the stroke of a pen. Because we don't want a crisis to go to waste.

I'd bet my next paycheck that anyone who's gone to our .GOV schools in the last 20 years wasn't taught about executive Order 9066 because it makes FDR look bad.
Because in retrospect- except for that whole showers and ovens and slave labor thing, there wasn't much difference between the Jews and Japanese.

But Kurt- you say- we didn't kill innocent people in massive numbers!
No, we didn't. that time.

BUT, give a listen to the unhinged hate from what's becoming the mainstream Democrats and wonder what would happen if they ever became guards in those camps?
OH, and they'll probably be members of the SEIU- given that purple is the new brown.

Dear overcompensated Union thugs

You have a Chicago political hack, a Democrat MINORITY leader in the House (who used to be a majority leader) all kinds of racebaitng extortionists, the DNC and probably your buddies the communist party all supporting you.

Guess what? There are A LOT more of us than their are of you.
You're not making a lot of friends where your money and votes come from.

Especially the ones that don't earn $50K+ for eight months of work plus another $50K of bennies.

But, hey Keep going- bring it to as many localities as you want, we'll appreciate the footage in two years!


UPDATE
Something else I just found out. The Wisconsin law says that if school is closed for any unscheduled event (like a teacher sick-out) ALL weekend school functions will be canceled. Just think "of the children".

TEACHERS UNIONS HATE BASKETBALL PLAYERS! And Wrestlers.
And cheerleaders.
And the Chess club.
And the Debate team.
And thespians.
And the glee club.
And gymnasts.
And the remedial kids.
Did I mention girl gymnasts?

UPDATE part- the second

As noticed at Powerline-
When will the MSM notice that the vast majority of protesting Union thugs are white?

They're already done?

A one day protest is all they had the energy for?
That's some heartfelt commitment there guy.

Well no wonder they just dropped their cr@p where they stood and walked off.
I guess Madison will need to hire some private contractors to clean that mess, since the bussed in Union Hacks can't be bothered to pick up after themselves.

UPDATE

Ohhh....So they're still protesting.

My bad. Seeing all that trash just left there, I didn't know the Unions were making new signs every day.

A voice from the past

Far back to when the sun never did set on the British empire.

Alfred Lord Tennyson reading "The charge of the Light Brigade" on Edison's marvelous wax cylinder.

Just be warned of the downloads that may be required.

Something Scott Walker needs to say

"YOU'RE FIRED!"

The teachers Unions who shut down their underachieving school systems, we'll find someone else that wants to do their best "for the children".

You Union thugs on the public payroll who are here protesting and picketing private property and threatening women and children just proved that your jobs aren't needed.

Gov. Walker, it's too bad you just can't go all PATCO on them.

If anybody is wondering "What pistol for a 77 year old grandma?"

Well, according to Bea, it's a Ruger .45 single six.

Because she can control it better than one of those "ladies guns."





Sidenote- Google doesn't recognize Ruger as legit, but thinks it should be Luger.

Dirty hippies reliving their youth

Up in Madison, Wisconsin right now there are union thugs harassing and threatening innocent women and children while their teachers union is closing schools in a sick-out.

The drama in Wisconsin unfolded in a jam-packed Capitol. Madison police and the State Department of Public Instruction estimated the crowd at 25,000 protesters, the largest number yet.

Demonstrators stood shoulder-to-shoulder in the building's hallways, sat cross-legged across the floor and made it difficult to move from room to room.

Protesters clogged the hallway outside the Senate chamber, beating on drums, holding signs deriding Walker and pleading for lawmakers to kill the bill. Some others even demonstrated outside lawmakers' homes. Hundreds of teachers called in sick, forcing a number of school districts to cancel classes. Madison schools, the state's second-largest district, with 24,000 students, closed for a second day

Because the duly elected Governor and Republican part of the State Senate were trying to do what they were elected to do...which was to try to save the states finances.

Except that they can't because they don't have a quorum, since the Democrats showed the same backbone as the did in Texas in our lawful redistricting- they ran away. Now, they're in hiding like the pussy's they really are.


UPDATE
They located those Dems in a brothel just over the Illinois state line. Of course we'd expect them to head towards the other band of thieves.

Now I have two questions-

1. Are they doing to get paid for this crawfishing?
2. Are they going to try expensing it? Or is the Perfessers Organizing for America going to pick up the tab?
   

Bush-0bama cagematch

Interesting poll from the Liberally slanted PPP poll. Which is a little ambiguous in its narrative.
Take this lead para:

44% of voters in the country say there's no way they'd support another Bush Presidency. Only 14% say they'd definitely favor one, and 39% say they'd consider it. The Republican base is decently open to the idea of another Bush- only 10% distinctly rule out the possibility. But a majority of Democrats at 73% and most notably a majority of independents at 50% shut the door to another President Bush. Perhaps those feelings will change in the coming years but it's unlikely they'd shift enough by next November to allow Jeb to win an election that soon.
Are they talking about another "W" presidency, another of the Bush family- or are they mixing it up to make it look worse?
My guess is the last.

When you look at this poll, remember two things-

1. Teh WON has almost every lamestream media outlet cheering him on and sugar coating what they can't hide.
2. W had that same Leftist media dogging and bad mouthing everything he did or said.

Interestingly though asked who they'd vote for if George W. Bush was allowed to run against Barack Obama for a third term next year, voters only go for Obama by a 48-44 margin

The raw data is here in PDF if you're interested.
