DescriptionA padded envelope filled with human feces is a Rorschach test, representing either: a state in democratic revolt against the overreaches of a berserker Republican legislature and governor; a Petri dish for the pushback against corporate ownership of government; or the last doomed charge of organized labor bashing its soft skull against the stone walls of a new era of "it's working" conservative austerity.

Wisconsin has become a place where arguments begin with John Adams' "Facts are stubborn things" and then follow with "The Bible tells us..." It's also a place where a leader who disbands collective bargaining is compared to another generation's leader who gassed millions in an attempt to exterminate a whole people. I have no more energy for you, Wisconsin. You beat me.

**** you, union leaders. You park your giant tricked-out Teamsters big-rigs, the ones with Ohio plates, around the capitol during the protests, then you waddle to the podium and accuse the governor of recruiting out-of-state money and being out of touch with the common working man. And now, to support Walker challenger Kathleen Falk, the unions have brought the exact kind of shady, no source money into Wisconsin that those on the left decry when it comes from the Koch bothers.

**** you, Kathleen Falk for signing a pledge to the unions in exchange for union endorsements. Ew.

**** you in your ego, Mayor Tom Barrett. You lost to Walker once already and this election has nothing to with the quality of the Democratic candidate. Millions of dollars have been spent and polling shows the voter needle has not moved at all. This election will be all about turnout, and both parties could run a bag of human excrement and have about the same chances. **** you twice, Barrett, for actually using Walker's public employee union cuts to help balance Milwaukee's budget and then having the giant testicles to run against his union-busting policies.
