Mouthing off:

Well, the tragic earthquake & tsunami in Japan all but knocked Wisconsin off the news - but not quite! Did knock Charlie Sheen off (bet he breathed a sign of relief! I know I did!)Watching the films of Japan was unbelievable! Can't even put it into words! Just tragic! But the worst part is the nuclear plants. 5 reactors have radiation leaks. That is 2 at one plant and 3 at another. Now, the Japanese are really exceptionally good at anything they do. They built these containers to contain! Now, the ones in Chernobyl were not built like these and did not contain (or retain, this is all new to me) and hopefully it will not be like it was there. They were saying that the Japanese aren't telling us too much and we wouldn't know anything for sure until this a.m. so I really don't know what they found out. All I know is that 45,000 people had to evacuate their homes and a 6 mile radius had to be cleared. From what I saw, there will be people missing for quite some time and it will be billions of $$ to clean up and rebuild. It was horrendous! And something I had been thinking and worrying about - a question that was asked by Rachel Maddow to this scientist - can this radiation blow as far as the U.S.? And I believe it can. It's something to think about. Horrible! Horrible! Very hard to watch. Normally, you would never see films of things like this but w/c.c. cameras everywhere - everything you do or what happens is on film nowadays! Imagine anything happening in London, they have more cameras than people!
Ok, back to Wisconsin. The Wisconsin 14 are back home. It is not over! There is so much happening and it is wonderful that the people aren't just sitting back and saying, well, that's that, it's over. It is not over til it's over!!!!! This bill should be in the courts for quite some time as most likely they did something illegal. Now, Sen. Fitzgerald (what an ass!) That is Scott, he has a brother Jeff who is also a WI-R Sen. and a father that is something w/the highway patrol, I believe. Or Sheriff's office. And who cares!!!! Well, Fitzgerald spoke on Fox (of course!) and said that it was never about the $$$ (no kidding, I didn't know that! Duh!) This way the unions won't have the $$$ and won't be able to donate to Obama and Obama won't get Wisconsin in 2012. Now, he stood up there and said this. Well, when Sen. Glen Grothman (another ass!) was interviewed and asked about this he said - well, he hemmed and hawed (what is hemming & hawing?) and said well, that, too, but it was always about the money. And Lawrence O'D said the unions had already ok'd the $$$ and Grothman said the people that were protesting were yelling about $$$. Which is true! That is what they were protesting. But that was not the question. One thing I have learned from all this political watching, NO ONE EVER ANSWERS THE QUESTIONS THEY HAVE BEEN ASKED! Dems do the same thing. If you say to me "How are you" and then I say "I went to the store today" - now, that is not answering your question. That's what they do. And Lawrence usually gives it to them but good but Grothman spoke so long they ran out of time. Well, today big doings in Madison and probably all over the state. There is a tractor parade in Madison, I am taping the news and hope they show the tractors. I don't think anything has ever happened in this country to equal what is happening in Wisconsin and how wonderful these people have been. Nothing has stopped them, they are not giving up. A funny story - one of the Rep. Senators and for the life of me I can't remember his name but I will check on it for a later date - his wife signed one of the petitions to recall him!!!! I thought that was so funny! Turns out he is living in Madison w/his 25 yr old mistress! Anyway, recalls don't take as long as you would think. If they can get 3 Rep. Senators recalled and then, hopefully, elect 3 Dem Senators to take their place, they can then re-do that bill. It sounds funny, I know, but it is possible. 3 Dem. Sens will give the Democrats the majority and if that bill is held up in court as I am sure it will be and I am also sure that they did something wrong. There is to be 24 hr notice prior to voting on any bill and they gave them 2 hrs notice. They are such crooks!!!!
Meanwhile, there is a big demonstration going on in Lansing, MI today, also. Michael Moore who campaigned so much the past couple of weeks for WI, lives in MI and their governor is like a reincarnation of Hitler and what he is proposing is like a horror story so they are doing there what they did in WI. Also, something must be happening in Indiana and Ohio. Now, Florida has a really creep Governor. I call him Digger O'Dell (think he was a mortician or something a 100 yrs ago from the movies, probably the silent movies! No, only kidding, but he was something funny) He is very creepy looking and creepy acting. He is cutting tons of $$$ from education and giving big tax breaks to the rich. Sound familier? Does anyone have any idea of what cutting from education will do to these kids? Larger classrooms for one thing. And much, much, more. Or rather, much, much less!
I cannot wait for the recalls! Should be exciting! Too bad they have to wait 12 mos. for recalls for these governors. How the hell did so many Republican governors get elected? I hope the people have very long memories when election time comes.
Speaking of which, there is some election this April or May in WI, something to do with electing someone who has something to do w/the Governor and they are hoping it will be a Democrat elected. I will have to look into it further.
Well, it is time to have breakfast! Bye!!!!!!
