Hi folks,
Glenn's been busy winging it on the budget allocations for the next biennium. As usual we've heard lot's of "we don't need ...." from him and, as always, nothing about what we might want or what we could afford that would make Wisconsin an even nicer place to live.
Anyway, a picture is worth 1000 words, so here's my cat's reaction to the budget.

Hi folks,
In my entire life I've only seen 2 pileated woodpeckers.
They're pretty rare -- but not nearly as rare as this:
There was a Glenn-spotting over the weekend at the Ozaukee NAACP picnic. Glenn showed up for about 45 minutes and -- one imagines -- ate.
But I'm trying to work out how Glenn's services-slashing voting record squares with his support of the NAACP vision. It seems that the two should contradict each other.
How do I make sense of his hacking away at services for economically disadvantaged folks -- by supporting whopping big tax breaks to the richest few percent of us -- and his showing up at a picnic for the most visible group working to encourage services to our neighbors who have been institutionally excluded from the good life?
Maybe he's turned over a new leaf. Could Glenn be a prodigal son who has finally come around to a socially compassionate world-view that doesn't require shifting the tax burden to the poor? Will the Republican Party have to dump him? Will I ever see another pileated woodpecker?
