Budget? The Dems don’t need no stinking budget

Hey everyone, you’ll want to hear this
Driving home from work tonight, I was listening to 1130 WISN out of Milwaukee (thank you very much iHeart radio and iPhone) and heard Jay Weber, their morning talk show host, say tomorrow morning he will be talking about a teacher that told him she is upset about WI Governor Walker taking away teacher’s tenure ...Read more.
When it comes to Solyndra’s failure, what’s a few million more?
I suppose this is fitting, seeing how the American taxpayers saw a half billion dollars thrown into the proverbial dumpster.
Ed Morrissey over at Hot Air summarizes it up quite nicely:
Solyndra’s liquidators claim that the glass tubes can’t attract a market for discounted sale. It didn’t take KCBS long to find a buyer, though, who is ...Read more.

This shouldn’t come as a surprise, but it also cannot go ignored.
You already know about the whole recall thing. But what you may not have heard is Wisconsin unions are planning on taking over the state by putting in place their hand-picked candidates for both governor and lieutenant governor, giving them the ability to run ...Read more.
More national praise for the Governor of the Year
Good to see the USA Today ran a piece that says this:
In March, Walker signed what is now nationally famous legislation that reformed public employee collective bargaining. The bill was crucial to putting Wisconsin on a sustainable fiscal path.
