ThinkProgress � REPORT: Top 10 Disastrous Policies From The Wisconsin GOP You Haven’t Heard About

ThinkProgress REPORT: Top 10 Disastrous Policies From The Wisconsin GOP You Haven’t Heard About: As the standoff between the Main Street Movement and Gov. Scott Walker (R-WI) continues for the twelfth day, much of the media
coverage — and anger — from both sides
has focused on Walker’s efforts to strip
Wisconsin public workers of their right
to collective bargaining. But Walker’s
assault on public employees is only
one part of a larger political program
that aims to give corporations free
reign in the state while dismantling
the healthcare programs, environmental
regulations, and good government laws
that protect Wisconsin’s middle and
working class. These lesser known
proposals in the 144-page bill reveal
how radical Walker’s plan actually is:

please read. now you know why protesters have
taken up residence in Madison, and why
100,000 people showed up in the bitter cold
and blowing snow on Saturday to protest this
bill. it is a travesty.

DOGMA

so i'm cruising the web, and what do i see?
someone somewhere has saved my webpage. :)

and i found myself reading this long poem
about eternity. and i liked it. hope you
read it and like it too.

ANTI-DOGMA FROM THE BEKAH CHURCH OF WONDER
or
sort of a poem about eternity

this is just a tiny snip of it.

DOGMA: "If there is eternity, and its inhabitants perceive it consistently,
Who do you perceive yourself to be if you really think
You can describe it to me?
Who has delusions; who sees, who does not see? when I can in a heartbeat
Introduce you to another person, or a million others, or three,
Who will say you are pushing a fucked up concept of eternity?"

The BRAD BLOG : Clarence Thomas Appears to Have 'Knowingly and Willfully' Violated Rule of Law for Twenty Years

The BRAD BLOG : Clarence Thomas Appears to Have 'Knowingly and Willfully' Violated Rule of Law for Twenty Years
a supreme court justice with no use for the law.
let's all watch nothing happen now. a nation of laws?
nah. a nations of haves and have-nots? yes.
laws are for the little people don't you know.
i am bitter and cynical. and i will see what i
personally may be able to do to see that clarence
thomas is unseated and held to account for his 20
years of breaking the law.

Who am i, what am i
A picture's worth

moon phases

I stand on the sand, and I'm rocking grief to sleep in my arms.
