Update: From the facebook wall of Rep. Terese Berceau: ” Senate rejection of the mining reforms in Assembly Bill 426 sends a clear message that Wisconsin will not welcome iron mining. We get the message. GTac is ending plans to invest in a Wisconsin mine. We thank the many people who have supported our efforts.”...

How about that. He did promise to negotiate, didn’t he. It’s not the first time this truth has been trotted out for public view. Politifact rated the following whopping lie from Walker a big FALSE on February 22, 2011: “I campaigned on (the proposals in the budget repair bill for Wisconsin) all throughout the...

No, I wasn’t in Milwaukee today. But I got a few notes on Obama’s visit to a union plant there: Master Lock. Mostly about Scott Walker’s absence. He did meet President Obama at the airport, giving him a Brewer’s jersey with a “1″ on it. I shared that photo on my facebook and Pamela...

I am not endorsing any candidate for Governor of Wisconsin right now because I think it’s still too early. Would you listen to me anyway? I could enjoy delusions of grandeur but I’m not a heavy hitter like Wisconsin’s union for education staff, WEAC. I have about 4,100 followers on twitter. WEAC has over...

The protest video above was shot during the governor’s state of the state address on January 10, 2012. There’s nothing quite like watching protest video to get this wonk’s attention. It’s heart warming to see democracy in action. Since last year the people in Indiana have gained a special place in my heart. To...

This is a small portion of a lengthy and fantastic Truthout story called “The Year Dissent Came Back”. It’s a thoughtful piece that covers 2011′s Slutwalks, the Occupy Movement, the Tar Sands Keystone XL resistance, the impact of Troy Davis’ execution and of course, the Wisconsin uprising. It’s not worth your time just because...

Channel3000 did a nice clarification on the anti-recall add by Kristi LaCroix in their “Reality Check” feature and that got me looking at the whole thing again. The gist of the original ad is that those of us who are recalling don’t really have grounds for taking that action, we just have ‘sour grapes’...

Despite the fact that there is STILL no snow on the ground in my south side of Wisconsin, there is an accumulation of another sort of precipitation. I refer to the continued release of snow jobs from Governor Scott Walker’s message machine. Monona Grove’s Jeff Knudson, a fourth grade teacher, says: “When the state...

Who does Fox and Friends’ Gretchen Carlson turn to to help her understand the Occupy Wall Street and Occupy Movement? Specifically, the entry of unions in the mix? None other than Wisconsin Governor Scott “Recall” Walker. No surprise he’s still on his message that every single story is about private enterprise vs. “Big Government”....

OK. I know this is on Blogging Blue and probably Sly’s blog but I just had to put it here too because it got me to raging. I start out feeling really uncomfortable as I see Paul Ryan be confronted one-on-one. But then Ryan and his wife’s glib responses just bring my blood back...

(There might be a few more errors in this post than normal tonight and you and I will just have to accept the fact. I have to leave for the 150th Solidarity Sing Along tonight. Which is sort of a big deal. ) Wausau has survived the great Labor Day Parade controversy of 2011....

Three cheers for Fighting Bob for suing for information on Walker’s shifty Florida trip back in April. That’s when Walker went on a fund-raising junket to out of state locations to fight out-of-state union money. Yes! What a hypocrite. He also didn’t tell any local press about it. Yes! A hiding hypocrite, if you can...

I just read “The Mood in Wisconsin: Shaken, Angry, but Proud” by Jane Slaughter from Union Notes. It’s a great post. Jim Cavanaugh of SCFL answers that union members are “more angry than depressed” Carl Aniel says some are “ incredibly frustrated and stunned. Other people are very motivated and want to do more than...

Walker is publicly confronted by a member of the press. What?!? The press never confronts Walker on his hypocrisy. If they do, they get dragged into the tunnel that leads to the Risser Building and then driven off to a secret bunker accessed only through a door behind five Radioshack TRS-80′s in Kathy Nickolaus’...

Posted: 3/9/2011 7:37:36 PM Tonight, Senate and Assembly Republicans pushed forward an extreme power grab with an unconscionable maneuver that split collective bargaining off from the fiscal items in the budget repair bill – rigging an 18-to-1 vote in the Senate. The Assembly will vote tomorrow. The following can be attributed to WEAC President...
