— Dave in Texas When have we ever cared so much about the outcome of a Wisconsin Supreme Court election?
County tallies finalized Friday showed Justice David Prosser defeated little-known challenger JoAnne Kloppenburg by 7,316 votes. State election officials said they will wait to declare an official winner until the deadline for Kloppenburg to seek a recount passes. She has until Wednesday to call for one.
Kloppenhopper can still and likely will request a recount since the state would pick up the tab. Somebody smarter than me, maybe it was Gabe, said 7000+ votes is "outside the margin of lawyer". Let's hope so.
Anyway, I'm as happy as a little girl.

Prosser wins. Palin and Breitbart headline a Tea Party event tomorrow. Unions are organizing a "counter-protest" with bullhorns, cowbells, etc.
Something to keep an eye on....

Astroturfers heading back to Chicago. Madison hipsters heading back to their bongs. Welfare mothers need to get back to their soap operas and cats. And the Teamsters are just too fat and lazy for a protracted war.

"A canvass of vote totals from the state's 72 counties finalized Friday afternoon shows Prosser beating Kloppenburg, an assistant attorney general, by 7,316 votes. The final canvass of the April 5 vote was completed 10 days after the election, the maximum allowed by state law.
The margin - 0.488% - is within the 0.5% limit that would allow Kloppenburg to request a statewide recount at taxpayers' expense.
The deadline for calling for a recount is 5 p.m. Wednesday. Although counties have certified their results, by law the Government Accountability Board can't certify the statewide results and declare an official winner until after that recount deadline passes or after completion of a recount, the state agency noted.
The Kloppenburg campaign has not decided whether to seek a recount, but it wasn't conceding the race, either."

The WI firefighter's union is acting the effen fool over it. That is the biggest reason that public sector workers should have never been allowed to unionize. One thing that has been glaring in the WI union thuggery is that, if you didn't know it before, you should know it now. While I know that all firefighter's and cops are not that way, the ones in WI can't be trusted. At least the ones in the leftist shitholes there.

Look at this pic.
Here's the description:
Migrants participate in a re-enactment of the Stations of the Cross in Mexico City April 15, 2011. Migrants from Mexico and Central America marched towards the U.S. re-enacting their bid to reach the U.S. as a Via Crucis. The trek across Mexico has long been dangerous for the hundreds of thousands of undocumented migrants, mostly Central Americans, who try their luck each year, risking robbery, death from fast-moving freight trains or dehydration in the desert. The writing on the banner reads "Obama, fulfil your promise, Justice for all, No legalization, no re-election."
........
To compare the Stations of the Cross with crossing into America illegally is blasphemous!
Makes me fucking shit (sorry Lord, I'm angry).

WASHINGTON, DC - APRIL 15: Maya Soetoro-Ng reads from her children's book 'Ladder to the Moon' at the Tenley-Friendship Neighborhood Library on April 15, 2011 in Washington, DC. Ms. Soetoro-Ng is President Barack Obam's half sister and is debuting her first picture book that tells a story that was inspired by her own daughter.

Never read the book.
Me neither (but it's on my to-read list), but the two industries were inseparable. In fact, the steel industry was king in America for a long time.
My grandmother lived in Birmingham, AL when I was little. We'd drive over 1st Avenue and watch them pouring the steel at night (especially in the summer). I can remember seeing the raw ingots called "pigs" cooling, lots and lots of them.
B'ham was a steel town for many years until the idiot greenies made them all shut down and we were forced to buy inferior foreign steel. There's a statue of Vulcan, the Roman god of fire and forging that overlooks the city.

Serious Cat,
You do realize that the nation would fall flat without the railroads, even today? Right?
You enjoy electricity? Thank the rails for hauling the coal.
You enjoy plastics? Thank the rails for hauling the chemicals.
Essentially, you can look around whatever room you are sitting in and be assured that there's very little in that room that wasn't moved, in some part, by the rails.
There's a very good reason why people put their money in the rails, myself included.

While in San Diego last month I did the cheesy tourist thing and took a tour on one of those awful amphibious buses. We went out to the base and watched them training dolphins: Jump into the boat, slide out of the boat, jump into the boat, slide out of the boat. In any case, they have floating docks anchored out there with huge honkin' seals laying on them. The guide said that those docks are there for a reason. The seals are very aggressive and very loud and serve as an added guard service. I can believe it. They were huge and had nasty scars from fighting.
I wouldn't try to swim past them.

Sometimes they have a banner ad about wind power making up 35% of our new electricity,which never fails to make me chuckle(and or turn red with rage).
A VCU prof did a presentation on the futility of wind power at our conservative group mtg this week. It was outstanding. The best part of the presentation were slides that showed acres and acres of ugly windmills and power lines. Then came the slide of the coal plant that was ALWAYS built around wind farms because they're such epic failures.

1. The left will not accept this victory. The right, the Koch brothers, big business, and that woman from blah-bah-de-blah county all conspired to steal the election. I expect to see this election elevated to the sacrosanct halls of liberal whinage, and take it's place next to other notable stolen elections....Florida 2k, Ohio '04. Remember, boys n' girls, it's only a fair election if the lib candidate wins.
2. Even though libs in Wisconsin have lost the governorship, majorities in both state houses, and failed in their attempt at unseating a conservative SC justice, they're still trying to paint this as a 'near victory'. This latest loss, according to the unions, is putting Walker on notice. Now he knows they mean business, by gosh!
3. For some bizarre reason, Palin gets a moment or two in the spot light of impotent libby rage, and even manages to earn herself yet another death threat....along with any other conservative handily available. The JS did promptly remove the offending post, but I preserved it:
"Let's hope Palin's trip to Madison tomorrow is as successful as Otis
Redding's last visit there. Only idiot Republicans gloat over an election on
of their own screwed up so badly, no one can be sure of the actual
outcome. The sooner we vote as many of these gleeps out of office, the
better off we'll all be. Or shoot 'em. Whatever we need to do."

Soap - this is my first problem with my mac and yes, I had always heard they were not victims of a crash but they are machines and they fail. I tried to install SnowLeopard but it did not work. So, now I am trying to do the backup from an external hard drive I backed up five days ago. All my business spreadsheets are on that computer so I am hoping it works. I will know in about an hour. I went to macs after Vista came out because it sucked and kept crashing my pc laptop. I cannot afford to buy another computer right now so I keeping my fingers crossed.
I usually do not do the updates when the pop up because every single time I have ever done the whole system update in the past on pcs it caused problems. Yesterday, at the advice of the mac people before my problem happened when I went to get a new battery they said I should update. Well, surprise ... today it crashed. Should not have updated. It started with itunes messing up and crashing it. I am going crazy right now as I need the spreadsheets.

Something I noticed (this was my first political rally, ever). The TEA party folks are waaaay to quiet with these douchebags.
Call them out on their retarded behavior. Make them feel like idiots, publicly. Don't let them get away with this kind of BS. There were enough of us there that we could have shouted them down if we had wanted to, but "we" stood there and took it. I don't know why.
