Inexplicable Oversight in Krauthammer's 'Rubicon of Wisconsin' Article

The NRO article by Charles Krauthammer titled 'The Rubicon of Wisconsin' concluded with an important oversight that Dr. Krauthammer never intended.

The published concluding paragraph:

Amazingly, the answer is now. Led by famously progressive Wisconsin — Scott Walker at the state level and Budget Committee chairman Paul Ryan at the congressional level — a new generation of Republicans has looked at the debt and is crossing the Rubicon. Recklessly principled, they are putting the question to the nation: Are we a serious people?

What Charles Krauthammer MEANT to write was:

Amazingly, the answer is now. Led by famously progressive Wisconsin — Scott Walker at the state level, Budget Committee chairman Paul Ryan at the congressional level, and The TrogloPundit and Grandpa John's at the blogger level — a new generation of Republicans has looked at the debt and is crossing the Rubicon. Recklessly principled, they are putting the question to the nation: Are we a serious people?

We graciously accept the apology of NRO and Charles Krauthammer for the oversight.

Unions to which I Formerly Belonged

John Hinderaker posts an article on Power Line titled Who Are the Demons Here? One item contained within is a chart which lists the top political contributors from 1989 to present and gives percentages donations to Republican or Democrat races.

Here are the top 20 contributors with the unions to which I once belonged marked in yellow:

When I was a Teamster and then a Machinist & Aerospace Worker I was a far left liberal, but by the time I was required through my county employment to pay AFSCME dues, I had turned conservative. I had no option to opt out of this public union.

While I was working for the county it was going through serious budget woes. They were beginning to heavily scale back the number of total patients and closing some units altogether. Many of my fellow workers complained that the patients would have no place to go. I suggested that as a union we could demand lower wages in order to save beds for these needy patients. But, from the slack jaws I received in response, I concluded that it really wasn't THAT important.

At one time in the early 70's I was also a member of the Ladies Garment Workers union. (Please not that it is Ladies Garment Worker, not Ladies Garment Wearer.) This union has long since merged with other unions and doesn't appear even in the top 140 unions listed.

Will in WaPo on Walker

George Will pens an op-ed item in the Washington Post concerning the present Wisconsin situation and Governor Scott Walker. Its conclusion:

Walker's calm comportment in this crisis is reminiscent of President Reagan's during his 1981 stand against the illegal strike by air traffic controllers, and Margaret Thatcher's in the 1984 showdown with the miners' union over whether unions or Parliament would govern Britain. Walker, by a fiscal seriousness contrasting with Obama's lack thereof, and Obama, by inciting defenders of the indefensible, have made three things clear:

First, the Democratic Party is the party of government, not only because of its extravagant sense of government's competence and proper scope, but also because the party's base is government employees. Second, government employees have an increasingly adversarial relationship with the governed. Third, Obama's "move to the center" is fictitious.

(H.T. Don Surber.)

Governor Scott Walker- Walking Tall

When I told Scott Walker about this picture with Michael Steele and The TrogloPundit he told me that he felt sooo short:

Well, Governor Walker, you are standing mighty tall right now. Keep on.

Life in Wisconsin as of Late

 Many of you foreigners may be wondering what life in Wisconsin has been like in recent days as one moves away from the union/Walker battle going on at the Capitol in Madison.

Actually, very little has changed. Last night near our fortified compound here in Janesville the rate of gunfire was not at all out of the ordinary. Our roving family patrols guarding the perimeter only had to cut down 3 intruders; 2 raccoons and an opossum. With great pride I can tell you that our almost 2 year old granddaughter, Isabella, shot her first transgressor, a medium sized coon. We always give our younger grandchildren a smaller gauge shotgun until they become skilled enough to handle a M-16. Our littlest darling was so proud and excited exclaiming, "Ganpa, I thinks that raccoon was public union!" And the possum made a most excellent breakfast smothered in fine Wisconsin cheese.

After after emerging from our bunker to make our usual early morning perimeter rounds checking security measures, sensors, and booby traps, Matthew and I were approached by some mainstream media reporter named Robertson and after asking our names he asked a few questions of us.

ROBERTSON: Steve, you've been here down here on on your fortified compound for many days. You've just listened to President Obama saying that America must live within its means and if any state wants help and assistance he will send community organizers, and hopes that there will be a good transition for jobs for the young people in Wisconsin. What would be your message for President Obama?

STEVE: We don't know, actually, who besides himself that he supports. He serves for his own purposes, but the people of Wisconsin have voted for our freedom and democracy. Any democratic country should be for the people, not for its own purposes....

ROBERTSON: Matthew is joining me now. We just heard President Obama say that he wants to extend, eh, support and assistance to Wisconsin people if they want any, and he hopes that there are more jobs for the young people in the future. What's your message for President Obama?

MATTHEW: Well, my message to President Obama is just, "We started this fiscally responsible move by electing a Conservative governor and legislature without any outside help, and we are going to finish it also without any outside help. President Obama should mind his own fiscal house"...

ROBERTSON: Are you pleased that President Obama has come out, however, now and said he supports this change and supports the people and supports the young people and -- and what they've done?

MATTHEW: Well, actually President Obama's views were conflicting with our process during the week... but now he's saying something else again....

ROBERTSON: The view from here is one of very happy Badgers to now hear that President Obama has swung behind the people. They are glad to have him in their corner against the election stealing Hitler-clone Governor Scott Walker.

Just another regular day here in Wisconsin about 40 miles from the state Capitol.

(The media outlet, LM-ABC [Little Miss Attila Blogging Co.] wants you to know that Robertson does not work for her.)

"... The Janesville Original."

Paul Gigot writes a good article in The Wall Street Journal:

Paul Ryan doesn't look like the menacing sort. He's amiable in a familiar Midwestern way, his disposition varies between cheerfully earnest and wry, and he uses words like "gosh." Yet to hear Democrats tell it, the 41-year-old Republican congressman is the evil genius, the cruel and mad budget cutter who threatens grandma's health care, grandad's retirement, and the entitlement state as we know it.

Gosh??

You betcha!

Illinois Politicians Complain About Wisconsin Senators Hiding in Rockford

Springfield-- Several Illinois legislators complained today about the Wisconsin State Senators fleeing and hiding in their state.

We don't want anyone to think that the State of Illinois welcomes corrupt and cowardly politicians. Some may even get the impression that our own politics are corrupt and slimy.

We would like the world to know that, although we, too, are Democrats, we are not Wisconsin Democrats.

France Honors Democrat Wisconsin State Senators

Paris-- French national officials today took the unusual step in honoring the Democrat State Senators from Wisconsin today. They bestowed upon the Wisconsin Democrats the title of Honorary Frenchmen.

We salute these Frenchish men and women of the 'Fleeing Fourteen' as honorary Frenchmen to acknowledge their ability to run from a fight and surrender against no odds whatsoever. We shall send each one of them a replica of the special French white flag to commemorate their achievements. These Democrat politicians really put the 'GO' in escargot!

You've Got Tweet

Coming soon to a YouTube site near you: The new blockbuster movie, You've Got Tweet. It is the compelling love story of Allistair Milano (Tom Hanks) and Roberta Stacy McClane (Meg Ryan).

While Milano's mega-bookstore struggles and fails because of the skyrocketing popularity of internet technology, Allistair begins to send and receive tweets from the 'anonymous' Stacy, a pajama-clad, basement dwelling blogger.

It is a digital love story that you will never forget.

"A masterpiece!"

"Thoroughly original!"

"I'm surprised that Hanks and Ryan haven't done anything like this before!"

"Genius!"

"Closing the Borders... whodathunkit?!"

Another Bush in the White House?

It's Bush's fault.

We are all aware of the long White House occupancy by the Bush family. George H.W. Bush served as vice-president and president over 12 years. George W. Bush served for 8 years as president.

Many are proclaiming a Bush fatigue. We just can't seem to get rid of them. With the possibility of Jeb Bush running, people are starting to roll their eyes.

Even though Barack Obama has been president for over two years there are still Bushes haunting the White House. Last year the place was visited by Reggie Bush, a running back for Super Bowl Champion New Orleans Saints. And now it is probable that Jarrett Bush of the present champion Green Bay Packers will visit. (This may not occur, however, as President Obama rooted against the Packers all the way and didn't even call to congratulate the Packers or Aaron Rodgers after their win and MVP selection.)

Even so, the Bush effect will continue for another 2 years. President Obama is considered by most Americans as the most Bush League president since Jimmy Carter.

Some things you really can blame on Bush.

Herm Edwards (concerning the Rodgers/Favre situation): "There's room on the mantle for both of them." Exactly! Right next to Bart Starr.

Mike Ditka (on Rodgers): "You pick whoever you want. I'll take him (Rodgers) and fight you in the alley."

Founding Fathers of the Axis of Fedora

'Twas the Night Before the Super Bowl

'Twas the night before the Super Bowl, and all through the state
Not a cheer for the Steelers, they're only for the reprobate.
The helmets and jerseys were all hung with care,
In hopes that St. Vincent soon would be there.

The Packer-backers were huddled in their beds
While visions of Lombardi's trophy danced in their heads.
And brother with his football, and I in my cheese cap,
Had just finished our game plan for a long winter's nap.

When out on the sideline there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.
Away to Lambeau I flew l like a flash,
Tore through the turnstile and threw the guard into a pile of mash.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the luster of mid-day to objects below.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear
but a full length trench coat, a fedora, and glasses so clear.

'Twas a little old coach, so stern with words unminced,
I knew in a moment it must be Saint Vince.
With the rumble of semis, his players spread fear,
And Vince yelled, "What the hell is going on out here!"

Now Nitchske! Now Wood! Now Hornung, now, Taylor!
On, Skoronski! On, Davis! On, Starr and Kramer!
To the top of the league! To the top of them all!
Block away! Tackle away! Smash the opposition all!

He sprang to the sideline, along his teams' right flank.
And away they all rambled like a Sherman tank.
As down the field, playing great football so vital,
The Packers played on, to win another title.

TrogloNerdiness: Nature or Nurture?

People often ask me if The TrogloPundit was born as such a nerd or if he learned it while growing up.

This video provides a good explanation:



The bottom line at the end of the day when all is said and done is that Lance had genetic nerd tendencies that were fertilized by 'nurture;' Liberal parents, a nerd-to-be twin brother, and  Star Wars in the theaters were components that could not be counteracted strongly enough by even the most excellent uncles.

Missing Glove Found in Snow Bank

Joe Latta from here in Janesville almost didn't survive our latest snowzilla.

Latta, 66, told rescuers he ventured outside of his Rockshire Drive home about 5 a.m. Wednesday to get the mail, fell in the driveway and couldn't get up. Latta lives alone. Snow likely drifted as he lay there on his back in temperatures that dipped to the low teens. At about 6:45 a.m., snowplows pushed up more snow, covering all of Latta except a gloved hand.

Police officer Todd Schumann said Latta was covered with 29 inches of snow with probably another 4 to 6 feet below him.

Joe had been buried in the snow for about 4 hours before being rescued. He was treated and released from a local medical center.

Joe Latta would never let a little snow stop him from watching our Packers win Super Bowl XLV.

Surviving Snowzilla

My usual commute time home is about 7 minutes. During the height of the blizzard it took me nearly 9. As my life flashed before my eyes, I noticed that it was a really boring slideshow.

My driveway parking spot was not available as a drift had taken its place. The drift was 5 feet high, about 12 feet across the base and 20 feet long. It could not be just shoveled aside. It was surrounded by an 8 foot fence, the garage door, and Linda's van. I had to move the whole dern thing over to the koi pond with a shovel.

I called the White House to see if I could get a snow bank bailout of a million or two, but no one returned with an answer to my plea.
