i wouldn't count on it. He's an art teacher.

It is possible if who ever runs against him is a Corporation creature ,I am not of any real party so i will see what i can do .

Maybe you could do a holy card featuring Kathleen Falk. After all, she's already promised your union she'll turn on the way-back machine if elected and set things straight for you.

Great response, Hoffa, and this person is teaching our children, it's obvious that his vocation has an impact on his closed mind thinking.

Sally just pwned you dude! Art.....worthless. Gut all the schools of it and give the money back to the taxpayer.

...I think an adult just used the word "pwned"

Gotta say I loved fright night was maybe the best vampire movie yet .

I think Sally The Cartoon as taken by most might infer that Mr walker works closely with the Koch brothers who are truly the godless parasites that you would have me be .They make billion with giving very little back.

No they don't employee tens of thousands and donate millions to charity and pay your salary or anything.

Do you have any proof that Walker is closely working with them?

Oh no he didn't. Ken also pwned you dude!

Yea I am a wealthy son of a gun much like the Big Corporate people, much like the CEO's of large fossil fuel company's, School teaching is a 5 year program ,lets see when I started twenty odd years ago my first years were considered poverty level . so I guess like anyone else who put their time in college and time on their job making what I do is about right ,most people working the same job for 20 years are hopefully doing alright also. Thanks for the comments though.

You forgot to add in movies stars, celebrities and sports athletes.

I think the point is that WEAC has, through union bargaining, essentially stopped school districts from sourcing other insurance providers to save money.

Also the state taxes paid by the corporations and it's employees and in-state suppliers pay for a public workers salary/benefits.

Wow you must be psychic to get all that from a political Cartoon . Or May be it was form God.

Conservativa,
I think you are confusing my use of Solidarity with the Polish Trade Union named Solidarity.
If you look up the definition of Solidarity it is "union or fellowship arising from common responsibilities and interests, as between members of a group or between classes, peoples, etc.: to promote solidarity among union members"
It originated in 1840-1850s from the French Language.
As far as Poland goes, I don't know too much about the county but from a quick Google search I see they have an unemployment of 13%, not 33%. They don't seem to be doing too horrible givin the state of all of Europe. But they have better GDP (4.3% in 2011)then the US (3% in 4th quarter 2011) so, must not be too bad.

Obviously you don't know what Poland is like. It's a Republic with democratic parliament. It is not Communist or Socialist. They have more than one political party, they have several involved in the government. It is the only country in the European Union to avoid a recession through the 2008-2009 economic downturn. They have about a 13% unemployment rate. I got this info from the CIA website. They describe every nation on it in regards to peoples, politics, industry, etc. I also know a professor who taught in University in Krakow, and I know two women that are here in the States who tell me people actually live quite well there. The have good agriculture, good industry making cars, trucks and other things.

After he wins......again, I look forward to his second term as governor starting in 2015.

@Keith - Fantasize on about Walker hanging around until 2019 as Wisconsin governor. But it will be interesting to see what he does after he is unemployed: Lobbyist, clergy, take over for Limbaugh, Comedy Central. No law degree, not even a college grad, little business experience. All in all, a bad resume, and questionable refererences.
However, there is always that standing job with Koch Industries as a spokesman.

You forgot Governor of the State of Wisconsin.

There you go again, invoking the Koch Bros.
RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it." Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)
Saul Alinsky, Rules for Radicals

This is what Obamas minions have done to the Koch Bros. Ron you follow orders really well.

Duly elected Governor of the State of Wisconsin. After his second term as Governor, with the national attention he is getting, possible future President of the United States comes to mind.

Steve - Re Walker putting Gov. of Wisc. on his resume once unemployed, Nixon listed President of the U.S. on his resume after he was suddenly unemployed, but he had a whole lot of explaining to do in his job interviews when the potential employer noticed he only got 1 year, 6 months and 21 days into his second term.

You can see into the future? Does Obama get his butt kicked or will it be close?

It's because of the recall that companies are a little gun shy to start up facilities here and the jobs that come with that. They are waiting to see what happens come election day.

Highly brainwashed, as liberals hope your children are.

So Dirk, are you recommending a campaign of intimidation and harassment, since you are posting personal info? You don't have enough intelligence to engage in a civil argument?

Stay classy Dirk.

Wow your a peach hey! Teachers x'ed out of freedom of speech I guess ,I'll make a wild guess that you were a fairly successful Bully .

Dirk; Are you like in 5th gr or something?, because I do recognize the brain development of someone at that age level. REALLY? Post my work place ,what are you expecting people can tell on me cause the big bad Artist made some bad pictures that are to offensive for you to take. Dear god Dirk man up! this is not me running for president,i have never heard of someone handling themselves like you on a blog space , and that is all this is a blog with my opinion, some might share it believe it or not other like yourself are free to rant at me more power to you that is what a FREE country is all about . Wow Dirk if this were the 40's and we were in Germany i am sure the Gestapo would be banging on my door already with your smug face behind them counting your reward coins.

So Keith, you feel your arguments aren't good enough to stand on their own merits? You have to attack your opponents personally and then make the excuse that "the other side does it"? You consider Saul Alinsky your role model?

@Keith - Radicals are on the far right also. I never read "radical" material myself. Thanks for giving us a tiny snippet from your personal reading.

Keith,
Keep cracking away at the Teachers...you know, pick the target, freeze it, etc etc etc.

Actually Dirk's Patch site says he is Paul A Tadda and he's running for the Menomonee Falls School Board. Why someone that hates public schools so much would want to be on the board beats me. Will he make decisions rationally or will he just harass his fellow school members? His posts here could be used to better inform the voters.

It's not really hard to find. Public teacher using full name here and using the searchable database for pay scale and employment location....

Swithin - that is a post by Paul Tadda on Dirk's "board", you can write comments to members here. I have the same post by Paul on mine, plus a nice one from Lyle.

Stihin just accomplished an epic fail on that accusation. BTW. Vote for Tada!

Good story, Gregory. Got a chuckle out of the evil Riviera.

Welcome to the interwebz, enjoy your stay

Does the subject of this piece suggest that a thoughtful discussion logically would ensue? There are some articles or opinion pieces here that lead to more serious discussions that are of a less adversarial nature. Then there are those like this one, which are adversarial right out of the blocks simply by nature of their subject matter. Granted, more seem to follow this pattern, but they also seem to draw more participation than the more reasonable, thoughtful posts.

Patch is just giving the masses what they want. It beats a stick fight in the street.
