Well…I hope you’ve been following the drama that has been going on in Wisconsin over the past year where the repub governor Scott Walker and his cronies have attacked the rights of the people and have tried to enact the Koch brothers radical view of the world that includes making the middle class go away. I was heartened yesterday when the first phase of ridding the world of this nonsense was completed by the people of Wisconsin filing over a million signatures to recall this troglodyte idiot and a few more of his extreme right wing minions. But, there is still an election to be won in phase two but you can see how concerned his owners are with Walker being in NYC to raise more money to try to lie his way into the rest of his term…there is something wrong with how the repubs do politics when the majority of the money Walker has used to get elected and to try to defeat the signature drive has come from big-money sources outside of Wisconsin…I stand with the people of Wisconsin while they take back their state from these radical outside interests…and I hope this puts the gov here on notice that the people don’t want the repubs radical nonsense….and that we remember the right of the people to freely associate and form unions is a human right that can’t be taken away by big money….nice job!

Just musing around…
Well…just sitting here waiting for the Man U match to start and thought I’d get to some of the musings that I promised a few days back…the rail trail is looking so cool now with the foliage finally filling in and making it a green tunnel that not even light can get through and that makes it it almost immune to the wind, too. Pretty neat stuff and the other day “No Quarter” came on when I entered the tunnel and it fit just so well that I couldn’t help grinning….as I’ve always said, it doesn’t take much to make me happy. It seems that lately the people on the trail are nicer, too, paying attention and reining in their dogs when I go by…maybe the “thank yous” are starting to help…hope so…it is nice to see smiles and not scowls when I blow past in a sprint. I do have to put the bike on the back of the car soon to take it to the car wash to clean it…it is as dirty as I can remember it and I am a little ashamed even thought I know that bikes are supposed to be dirty if you’re using them right.
I wasn’t going to talk about politics today but some heartening patterns are starting to emerge when we look at the overreach of the radical right wing of the repub party….they have lost almost every special election that has been held this year and people are rejecting their vision of America where all of the benefits of the country accrue to just the few rich and business. And we see the plummeting approval ratings of the repub governors that have pushed through anti worker legislation and given away their states to business. I hope the recall of gov Snyder gains steam here in Michigan since he is governing only to his base and his business masters…we are ripe for a revolution here where the dems are going to take back both houses and then where will that idiot be? Okay….the match is ready to start in a few so I’ll end here…
