Beer would knock me out right now. Instead I’m eating chocolate frosting straight from the spoon :-p. When I get stressed I turn to chocolate and that’s the only chocolate I have at the house right now that’s easily available.

POINT TO PONDER:

Mandatory Union Dues from government paychecks STOP next month.
After this 30 Million Dollar debacle, how do Unions and the liberal whackjobs intend to finance THE GREAT RECALL! of Scott Walker??

It’s all up to the incompetent Kathy Nickolaus right now. She’s the one who failed to enter Brookfield’s election night results and caused the Prosser Kloppenburg recount.

Great news, the Gunowners of Wisconsin need to turn out big next week too, Gov Walker and the Republicans have allowed people of Wisconsin to not only keep but bear their arms. Also, saving the state and localities lots of money and improved their fiscal health unlike most of the Pubs in Washington that cut deals with Dems.

I have some M&Ms, but I am afraid to break into them now. I might not stop, and it is one of those ginormous bags from Costco. LOL.

It will have to be national money because most of WI public union members will now be able to not join the union :)
