I'm hoping the outrage over this will result in the pendulum swinging back from all this anti-union, anti-teacher crap. Or maybe this is just one more step in the fuckupification of the US for everyone but the super rich.
Angel: Will you just shut up for once?! Illyria: What? Angel: My God, the speechifying. Has it ever occurred to you that now might not be the best time for when-we-were-muck stories?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
In re squirrels - the DC ones are fat and spoiled - the tourists feed them 'cause they're CUTE. There's a group of albino squirrels in Franklin Square that are beyond spoiled - I once had one come up to me, practically sit on my foot, and give me the "hand over the goodies" look. A threatening stomp of my foot didn't even budge him.
And, in related animal news, for Trudy (welcome back!)

They're supposed to act like legislators, not kids saying "Psych!"
That ship sailed some time ago.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
they stripped all the budget elements out of the legislation and just sent through the stuff about collective bargaining.
Proving the point that the union stuff was NEVER about the budget. EVER. Not that anyone (with a brain) believed that, anyway.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ivory soap in the microwave. Someone just does that, don't they? Just puts different things in the microwave to see what they do.
I mean, other than tommy and Leif.

Why is it so difficult for people to stop and use critical thinking skills? I know, I know...but seriously. It is like saying the bluest sky ever is orange.

Because most people are happy being told what they want to hear.

tommy! Should you ever get your hairless cat you know you can also get a hairless dog to go with it?
The Xoloitzcuintli - the only AKC recognized breed beginning with the letter X and (formerly known as the Mexican Hairless) and available in 3 sizes.
Steph - yes, the Wisconsin republicans have now proved to everyone (who didn't already realize) that getting rid of collective bargaining had nothing to do with the budget. I hope this pays off in dividends for Democrats at the next election.
