It's not Christmas in Wisconsin until the Star is put on top the tree..... by prisoners?!

Picture this: Four prisoners standing on scaffolding placing thousands of ornaments made by school children on a thirty-two foot tall Christmas tree at the center of the Wisconsin capitol rotunda. Every few minutes prison guards push the wheeled scaffolding units around the tree so the prisoners have full access to every branch.

According to Job Reports for the month of October, Wisconsin was #1 in the country with jobs lost.  What wasn't said, we are #1 in yule time jobs for prisoners.  I agree with the above article, something about prisoners placing student made decorations up, doesn't sit right with me.

what's even scarier... the people that LOVE him.  

You'd think we'd have tons of recall commercials and such on TV.  NOPE.  "It's working Wisconsin" and crap like that, showing grossly misinformed people talking about all the good Walker has done.  Scary time, .... scary time indeed.  

 

Having an aunt who worked at the Mental Health Complex for Froedert Hospital in Milwaukee... I could tell you HORROR stories about what Walker did to them.

Oh God, he's a monster.  But he's got so much freaking money behind him.  The Kochs are throwing cash around like there's no tomorrow because Walker's so critical to their pro-pollution anti-tax anti-regulation agenda anti-public school agenda.

But I love Wisconsin, not just for the cheese and the Dells but because of the inspiring way people stood up against that little Hitler and said "enough!"

With all of the dirty tricks Koch and Walker are pulling, it's going to be take a miracle, but what Wisconsinites are doing is a real inspiration.  Just keep an eye on those voting machines and Kathy Nickolaus' district.
