AAAH! Wisconsin! Home of the Packers and #*/>*?

If you're like me, (which nobody ever really is), you're probably extremely concerned about the recent events going on in Wisconsin, which is also known as "The Dairy State", meaning that this is where a good portion of our chocolate ice cream is born, as well a fair amount of cheese. But before you panic, I want to reassure you that the cows are all okay, and reportedly still showing up for duty at their barns twice a day, and in some cases three times a day, and you should still be able to indulge in your morning glass of milk and feed your newborn babies on your regular schedule, at least assuming that the dairy workers are not yet "Unionized", in which case you may have a problem, but it won't be nearly as big as the Wisconsin cows would have. Apparently, some of the residents of Wisconsin have already grown weary of basking in the warm glow of the "Packers" recent super bowl win and have decided to get on television themselves, if for no other reason than to show the rest of the world how stupid and shamefully selfish they are. The way I see it, the larger percentage of Wisconsin voters, knowing that their state had a looming bankruptcy overhead, voted in a man (Scott Walker) whom they thought could fix the problem last November, using the same sort of logic that reminds most of us to shut the faucet off when the bathtub gets full. Scott of course, went diligently to work on Wisconsin's monetary problems almost immediately, and promised to be a true "leader" in a state (and country) which otherwise lacks useful leadership. One of the more ridiculous things he's recently done is to try to get the "unionized" workers to pay for at least a small portion of their own health insurance and retirement, you know, like all the rest of us have to do! This turned out to be a widely unpopular decision for the people who were happy just letting the ordinary, "private-sector" taxpayers pay their way for them. Apparently, these types of "Liberals" were all for doing anything they could to keep their state out of bankruptcy, as long as there were to be no concessions on their own part. Hmmm! I'll have to look it up later, but I'm not really sure that it works that way. In the meantime, these poor Liberals took to the streets in front of the Capital in Madison and protested until they were just plum sick, or at least it would seem that way, what with all the doctors standing around handing out "sick" notes. I never really saw any of them checking anybody's blood pressure or handing out any pharmaceutical drugs though, but I suppose that should be a testament as to how good the doctors in Wisconsin are, curing folks with just a pen and paper. Sometimes the medical profession just amazes me. In the meantime teachers, (setting a good example), let their students out of school for the week to protest too, even though there may have been a small "rogue" group of them that didn't have a clue what they were supposed to be protesting. Perhaps they would have been better educated if they spent more time in the classroom, but who knows? It also seems that all the leadership on the "Democrat" side of things, in a true showing of "courage" and "candor", fled to Illinois in an attempt to "make it all go away", while holding their fingers in their ears and shouting "Nan a nan a na na, I can't HEAR you"! I can't say enough how I feel about liberal democrats, what with their high levels of morals and ethics, and just plain old common sense. I really can't say enough about how I feel towards them. I feel so sorry for President O'Bama too! Imagine how HE feels, what with just recently kicking off his big "Civility" campaign! Gosh dang it! He must be really upset that the only time there seems to be any sort of civil unrest in America on the nightly news it's a dang Republicans fault, and I'm almost POSITIVE that he's working hard to convince the main-stream media to treat Republicans and Democrats equally, right? As far as I'm concerned, it's ironic that all this should happen in the dairy state of Wisconsin, because I have a fair amount of experience with dairy farms and it reminds me of how differently certain breeds of cattle can be, kind of like politics in a way. For example, a "Holstein" (Greek word meaning Conservative Republican, good-natured, and dependable), will willingly come to the milk barn at milking time without putting up a fuss at all because she has done this exact same thing for years already and she realizes that it is basically her job, and that people depend on her. By contrast, the "Jersey" (Greek word meaning "Democrat, hasn't got a clue") cow, generally has to be herded into the barn twice a day and threatened with rapid small arms fire. Even though she too has performed this very same act for a few years now, it will appear as though she's suddenly taken aback and unsure of herself upon each entry. I think that the best way for future President Scott Walker (I hope) to straighten out the state of Wisconsin would be to get rid of all the brownish-colored (Jersey) dairy cattle and encourage dairy farmers to only own the black and white Holsteins. Maybe he could offer them some tax incentives as well, and then they could hire some of the teachers and doctors who SHOULD be losing their jobs to be milkers. At least that's what I think, but then again, I'm just bitter. Have a great week Friends, and if you happen to be a Democrat and are wanting to contact your particular representative you will probably have to wait until (this is true) they finish their conference with Sesame Streets "Big Bird" and other characters, but don't be dis-heartened, as Sesame Street has long been a type of Democratic "stronghold" wherein Democrats go in times of crisis. It's probably much easier than dealing with" real" people, who tend to sometimes have "real" issues. See you next Sunday, and remember: Save your bullets and your green beans!
