Gov. Walker of Ohio
The similarity between Wisconsin and Egypt is impossible to ignore.
Mubarak tried to solve his problem by offering a series of concessions, none ot which were enough to satisfy the crowds in Tahrir Square.His promises .. of threats and rewards grew ever bigger, his nose .. already large, soon was too large to be believed. No one believed in his promises of threats or of rewards. I Governor Walker also trying to be Pinocchio? No that is not fair to the puppet who would be a boy. Pinocchio learned the harms his lies could do, someohow I do not think the Republican puppets are that smart.
The situation in Madison is sort of a reverse Tahrir Square. The revolutionary is the governor, or so he thinks.(c) SM Schwartz 2011

And that’s the week one agenda.
Oh, one other thing…rename the state Wississippi.
Update: Oops…I forgot one other of piece of legislation for the Republican’s gonzo week agenda: Weaken child labor laws. This legislation might spark controversy among the Wisconsin Republicans. Some lawmakers would still support Wississippi; others would push for Wiscongladesh.
