WASHBURN — Wisconsin’s protracted family fight over the budget and public employee unions moved to this Bayfield County town Saturday evening, as embattled Gov. Scott Walker spoke at an invitation-only event and was greeted by at least 2,000 angry protesters outside.

Walker arrived in a convoy of six unmarked police cars that pulled up at 5:45 p.m. to the Steak Pit for a Republican Lincoln Day fundraiser. The large, boisterous crowd, which had been lining the streets leading to the restaurant since 4:30, quickly recognized him and erupted in boos and shouts of “Recall Walker.”

The convoy moved through quickly and without incident, and most of the protesters began to follow a circuitous route on public pathways to a spot behind the restaurant where they continued the protest within earshot of the Republican Party faithful inside.

Bayfield County Sheriff Paul Susienka said Saturday evening that he didn’t have a crowd estimate, but various people had estimated the size at between 2,000 and 5,000. So the protest probably at least doubled the size of Washburn, which has a population of 2,271.

Fine, we'll do the same for you.

2. Feed the Rich, Starve the Worker: That's Bull$#!t

__________
Sam Seder calls bullshit on claims by Gov. Walker, the right wing and the establishment, who claim WIsconsin or America is broke and working people must pay the price. Wisconsin and America have access to money- it's just that our leaders are fine with the super rich not paying their fair share of taxes and find it more palatable to cut worker pensions, pay and health care.

4. He could care less.

No matter what happens in his governorship at the end he will be well rewarded for his work.
He will get several positions on the board of directors of companies and maybe a book deal....will be well fixed for life.

He'd be in good company!
