In case you hadn't heard, Feb 18th is National Drink Wine Day!! Not that I've ever really needed a reason to indulge of the fruit of the vine, but he's to it!
Clearly the Wisconsin Senate Democrat caucus must have confused it with National Whine Day (or put your tail between your legs and run like hell for Rham Emanuel's pad in Washington DC Chicago Day. Take your pick. The WI Dems have ripped a page out of Harold Cook's play book and are on the lamb. *spoiler alert* It won't work this time either. They've even brought Jesse Jackson out of mothballs for this one.
I know this might be a little babe in the woods naivete, but I like to think the folks we elect to public office from both parties are adults. We live in very serious times. How any anyone in their right mind can not recognize the fiscal crisis we're in is beyond me. I mean, what part of "there is no more money" don't they understand. The behavior of the WI Democratic caucus is childish at best and pernicious at the core. Go back to work. Have a debate. If you have a winning argument you will prevail. If you lose, you've got two whole years to make your case to the people to elect new representatives This is, of course, what the whole business of a representative form of government is all about. Given the state of things, I don't think the public at large is going to be willing to entertain political theater.
Kudos to Gov Walker for standing up for the principles he ran on.
