On Radio Host Vicki McKenna Claims Liberals Want to Assassinate Governor Scott Walker

I grew up in Wisconsin, went to Madison and still have a lot of friends and family there (Millbot, tweet-quoted [?] above is an old college roommate of mine). Many of them are members of the unions affected by this, and from what they've said, they're not opposed to paying more into their health insurance or their pensions. Their problem is that they'll be stripped of their ability to bargain for anything that isn't wages,and even on that, they'll be limited to the Consumer Price Index unless they want to hold a statewide referendum for it to be higher.

In addition to the Twitter link Abe posted, #wiunion is another good way to find info. I'd also recommend the live blog at www.thedailypage.com

On Here's Something New To Get Upset About!

Nick's was the best place, as they had cheap good beer AND pie. I liked going to Genna's because at a certain point in the early 00's, it was always good for a game of watch who's drunkenly hitting on the bassist from Garbage.

On Did You Read It? Or Are You Selfish?

I'm halfway through it. I had to get through Styles and its doorman-fantasy wedding first.
