by KEITH KOFFLER on FEBRUARY 19, 2011, 11:34 AM
First Lady Michelle Obama is on “a private family trip” in Colorado where she is skiing with daughters Sasha and Malia, according to an administration official.
“The First Lady and several close friends are chaperoning their children on a ski trip,” the official told the press pool reporter who is following President Obama today.
Reports coming out of Colorado say she arrived Friday night and is staying at the Sebastian Hotel on Vail Mountain. Rooms start at $605 per night for a room with two queen beds and head north of $2,000 for multi-bedroom suites.
Here’s a description from the hotel’s website:"

The Look Of Democracy
Via Boots and Sabers
From Where I sit » This is not what democracy looks like:
"I could not disagree more strenuously with President Obama’s agenda, but as he famously said, “elections have consequences.” For the time being, he gets to implement his policies. In 2012, I will do my best to see that he is defeated and that many of his policies are reversed. That’s how we do it in America.
If you don’t like the results of an election, you work harder to win next time, you don’t attempt to overturn the results through work stoppages or by shutting down the government and refusing to return until the majority bows to your will."

Congressman, For God's Sake, He Needs A Doctor
And he's still a Congressman? Sad, real sad even for a liberal democrat.
From Breitbart
Report: Congressman urged to get psychiatric help: "
Feb 19 12:37 AM US/Eastern"
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Senior staffers of U.S. Rep. David Wu were so alarmed over the Oregon Democrat's erratic behavior just days before the November election that they demanded he enter a hospital for psychiatric treatment, a newspaper reported Friday evening.
The Oregonian, citing interviews with a number of anonymous staff members, reported on its website that Wu was increasingly unpredictable on the campaign trial and in private last fall, and had several angry and loud outbursts and sometimes said "kooky" things to staff and potential voters and donors. A similar report was carried on the Willamette Week newspaper's website on Friday.
The fact that Wu was in the middle of a difficult re-election campaign from his Portland-area district made his behavior particularly worrisome to staff who organized a meeting with the congressman at his campaign headquarters on Oct. 30, with a psychiatrist joining by speaker phone.
"This is way beyond acceptable levels and the charade needs to end NOW," wrote Lisa Grove, a senior and long-serving campaign pollster, in an e-mail to colleagues the day of the meeting. "No enabling by any potential enablers, he needs help."

Joe VanDeLaarschot Reporter"
You may forgive 12th District State Sen. Jim Holperin (D-Conover) for not being at the Rhinelander Senior Center Thursday where he was to hold office hours to address his constituents.
Holperin had more important things to do. He and his fellow Democrat state senators instead fled the capital in Madison so they could delay a vote on Republican Gov. Scott Walker's controversial budget repair bill.
By fleeing Madison and traveling to neighboring Illinois the Democrats prevented the majority Republicans from having a quorum to allow a vote. There are 19 Republican senators. Just one more senator in attendance would have allowed the vote to occur.

"Holperin among Dems on retreat
Feb. 18, 2011
State Sen. Jim Holperin, whose 12th Senate District includes Antigo and Langlade County, is among the Democratic lawmakers hiding in plain sight out of Gov. Scott Walker’s reach.
Holperin is among the 14 state senators who left the Capitol Thursday, forcing postponement of a vote on Walker’s budget repair bill that includes what some see as draconian changes to the state collective bargaining laws for most public employees.
Republicans hold a 19-14 majority in the Senate, but they need at least one Democrat to be present before voting on the bill."

Wis Dems, Your A Day Late and Collective Bargaining Short
This just breaking.
Seems that Wisconsin Dems and the unions are begging to get Walker to agree with them. You can see my answer if I were Scott Walker.
WI democratic senators offer compromise to Walker - WAOW - Newsline 9, Wausau News, Weather, Sports: "MADISON (WAOW) - The 14 Wisconsin state senators who delayed on a vote on the budget repair bill say they want to compromise. On behalf of the Democratic senators, Minority Leader Mark Miller sent this letter to Governor Scott Walker.

The Honorable Scott Walker
Governor, State of Wisconsin
115 East, State Capitol
Madison, WI 53701
HAND DELIVERED
Dear Governor Walker,
We've learned that earlier today public employees across the state made very clear their willingness to cooperatively accept additional pension and health insurance concessions in order to do their part to help Wisconsin close a 2011 budget gap, and to assist in reducing the state's deficit going forward.
This development confirms to us that the Capitol demonstrations all this week were not about an unwillingness to bargain pension or health insurance concessions, but rather about the devastating and unprecedented elimination of essential collective bargaining rights for public workers.
Consequently, we strongly and respectfully urge you to request that Senate and Assembly Republicans modify your budget repair legislation to remove all references to collective bargaining for all public employees.
We believe our request reflects a point of view shared by many all across the state, but perhaps most significantly by a variety of religious leaders who have expressed a sincere interest in bringing resolution to what has developed into a deeply divisive environment that threatens progress on so many other pressing state social and economic issues.
We also it believe would speed closure on this issue by meeting with those leaders to listen to their concerns.
Sincerely,
Senator Mark Miller
Senate Minority Leader
You guys are a day late and a dollar short.
Walker gave you the chance, now live with it, find another job or move out of the state!

Obviously, Eason-McIntyre has no backbone in Oklahoma.Another liberal coward.

Mr. President, Butt Out
A couple of good quotes from the GREAT Richard Moore
"So here’s a word of advice for the president: We here in Wisconsin can take care of ourselves. Mind your own business.
Rather than taking the time to slam Walker for an “assault on unions,” Obama might try monitoring his own budget mess for once because that’s a situation really worth monitoring.
And he’s got the nerve to criticize Scott Walker."
You know he's right, Obama has bigger problems to worry about.

Bayport Mom Kicks Butt
Seems students decided to walk out of school at Bayport and mom seen her son protesting.
Bay Port students leave classes to protest Gov. Scott Walker's budget proposal | greenbaypressgazette.com | Green Bay Press Gazette:
"Parent Kay Koeppel, who drove her son and his friends back to the school from the protest walk, said administrators should have done more to keep students in class.
“What are we teaching our kids right now? They don’t belong walking through the streets,” she told Frieder as she confronted him in front of the school. She owns a nearby business and said she wasn’t sure what to think “when I saw my son walk into the salon saying, ‘Hey, we’re protesting!’”
Referring to Walker’s plan, Koeppel said her husband was laid off for eight months and had to take a pay cut, and that other workers may also have to make sacrifices, “Something needs to be done.”"
Good for mom raking the school over the coals. Hope she took away his cell phone or got a branch from the tree by the house. If he was my son, he would have a problem sitting at school today. No matter how old he was! Unless he was 18, then his bags and game boys would of been outside the doors with new locks on the doors!

State and Madison teacher union leaders are urging its members to report to the Capitol today and Saturday for continued protests against Gov. Scott Walker's collective bargaining proposal.
"We need you to come again (on Friday). We need to hear you on Saturday," Mary Bell, Wisconsin Education Association Council president said at a rally Thursday, when teachers from around the state joined Madison teachers whose absences closed schools for a second day.
The large amount of expected absences led the Madison School District to cancel school today, the third consecutive day of closures.
Other districts, including Belleville and Pardeeville, also announced Thursday that school would be closed today.
It's time to decertify the teachers union and start over.

Press Releases - News - Ron Johnson, United States Senator for Wisconsin:

Johnson Salutes Governor Walker for Courageous Leadership on Spending
Senator Ron Johnson released the following statement today:
“I am incredibly proud of the leadership and the courage that Governor Scott Walker and the Republican Members of Wisconsin’s State Assembly and Senate are showing against incredible opposition. Not only is Governor Walker leading the state of Wisconsin, but he is also leading the nation. America is hungry for leadership as both Washington and many states face crushing deficits."
“I was deeply troubled when I learned that union supporters were surrounding Governor Walker’s private home in Wauwatosa. That is out of line and out of bounds.
“I have deep respect for anyone that works hard to build a good life for themselves and their family. Nobody likes to face budget cuts. But, the fact of the matter is that we are talking about a $3.6 billion deficit in the state of Wisconsin, and a $1.65 trillion deficit here in America. We have got to take action, doing nothing is no longer an option. We simply can’t delay fiscal responsibility any longer.
“I stand ready to do anything I can to assist the men and women in the Wisconsin Assembly and Senate. Showing this kind of leadership deserves our respect. I’m encouraging the citizens of Wisconsin to also voice their support for those people showing leadership and courage. They are doing what has to be done and they should be commended.”
Thank You Mr Johnson

"If the teachers wanted sympathy from the taxpaying public, based on the first online comments from the story, they’re looking in the wrong place:
Yeah! If teachers retire, then they can be replaced with capable new graduates who are seeking jobs. The collective salaries will be lower, methodologies more current, new technologies used in instruction, and the whining drivel can end. We'll all win!
Don't let the door hit you in the rear on your way out.
Go ahead retire! This will allow fresh graduates to start their career. Out with the old in with the new!! This will only benefit our children!
That is perfect! The bill has not even passed and it’s already saving $$$."

Why Won't Wisconsin Police, Fire and Trooper Unions Join Their Brethren
I listened and watched on Wisconsin Eye the finance hearing on the Wisconsin Budget bill.
A few times I heard democrats whine it was not fair that police , fire and state trooper unions are not involved in giving back concessions like the rest of the state unions are being given. It's not fair Walker excluded those unions out of the budget bill. Let's be fair. Come on Walker, make them have the same concessions.
Legislature could act Thursday on budget plan - JSOnline:
"Except for police, firefighters and troopers, raises would be limited to inflation unless a bigger increase was approved in a referendum. The non-law enforcement unions would lose their rights to bargain over anything but wages, would have to hold annual elections to keep their organizations intact and would lose the ability to have union dues deducted from state paychecks."
My question, where is the brotherhood of the police, fire fighters and state troopers? Why don't these unions volunteer their unions to do the same as their brethren are being given? Why not tell Gov. Walker they will take the same concessions? Scott Walker, take our collective bargaining away!
Why aren't democrats demanding those unions accept the same thing? Why aren't the state, teachers, guards, county and other local union member workers asking police, fire and troopers to join them in the labor concessions? Where are they? Why aren't they?
Are the police, fire and trooper unions sympathetic to the other unions or are they just out for themselves? If the shoe was on the other foot, would teacher unions stand their ground or join police union concessions? Hummmmmmm.
Are those unions really that phoney. What a bunch of hypocrites! Why are not democrats in Wisconsin forcing police, fire and trooper unions accept what the other unions are getting?
Will state workers think less of their brothers in those unions? Interesting.
State and teachers unions, let's hear from you. Your getting screwed and those other unions are getting away scott free! You're sure giving them a pass.

Cold Truth, No Collective Bargaining
Richard Moore explains the truth about collective bargaining.
So, actually, when it comes to public employees, Mr. Walker is not cold-hearted at all. He is a kind, generous saint who is still letting them bargain for wages up to the rate of inflation.
In truth, he shouldn’t let them keep even that.
Let’s examine a few reasons why.
You need to read the rest.

Father Listecki Enters State Budget Fight
A letter from Archbishop Jerome Listecki about the Wisconsin budget fight between the Wisconsin State Government and State Unions.
From JSOnline
Milwaukee Archbishop Jerome E. Listecki on Wednesday described Gov. Scott Walker's efforts to limit the rights of public employee unions as "union busting," and in a statement he said there is a "moral obligation each of us has to respect the legitimate rights of workers.”
Listecki, who was installed as archbishop on Jan. 4, 2010, said in a letter to the Legislature's Joint Finance Committee that, "this much needed call for cooperation and communication between workers and management comes as opposition to Gov. Walker’s union busting budget continues to grow."
If I could convey my thoughts to the good Bishop, maybe I would say this.
Dear Father Listecki;
This is Wisconsin and not Poland and the union in Wisconsin is not the same as the one with Lech Walesa in the 1980's under communist rule. I wonder why you would even get involved with this issue. In Wisconsin no one was tortured, no one has so far lost their job and no one is under bondage from the government of Wisconsin.
Why would you stand up for some and I stress some and not all people who advocate and contribute to ending the most innocence of life. Father, do you stand for those who contribute more for abortions? Do you stand up for the ones who would dip a Crucifix in a jar of urine. Do you stand for the ones who scorn and scoff at the very sight of a person living their faith in God. The radical left detest and disdain, the Catholic church and it's members and everything the Church stands for. I would ask you how much of these sanctimonious liberals donate to you and the catholic church?
How many of your parishioners have lost jobs, received reduced wages, told to pay more for health care for their families and then also put their weekly envelope into your basket on Sunday and never complain to you, or the leaders of the church. You ask your people to pray, to give and to donate to the church. Ask for money for the poor. Ask to reach deep into their hearts for more. And today you side with a lot of the very people that tomorrow will curse the very name of God. I add they probably cursed many times today.
I also feel for the union members who say this will be a hardship but for far too long some have lived in their golden towers looking down on the poor and downtrodden and turned the other way. They hold the very gold that built the golden calf before Moses.
Father, I have heard you are in bankruptcy proceedings. Would it be fair for the State of Wisconsin to commit bankruptcy also? For what reason did you make your financial decision? Was it because some were asking more of the Dioceses then you could give? If Wisconsin cannot pay their bills, cannot collect any more from their citizens, would it be fair to lay off state employees? Should the State of Wisconsin be brought to it's knees? To have utter chaos spread across this state? It is in giving that we receive, obviously the union does not want to give.
Governor Walker was given this financial problem just as you were handed the problem with legal litigation of the Catholic church in Milwaukee. He is at the point where he must do what is right. Are you wrong for your decision? God did not say it would be easy but we hope with His guidance, all His children will be loved and taken care of.
Everyone will have their judgement day but for now we must do what we can to care for all in this world. To pit the unions against the rest of the people of Wisconsin who love God and love this great state is not what we envisioned.
We can only pray that all in Wisconsin will stay calm and not lose their emotions. I myself as a believer in God and a part of the Church have to be on the side of the tax payers and Scott Walker.
We can agree to disagree but I can only say your words will only intensify the situation. I feel you may have chose words that hurt and do not help a lot of people of this state.If the day would come for non believers to tear down His church for the sake of me believing in God Almighty, I will stand at the doors to protect the Lords house until He would call me home.
If you care and pray for the workers, please remind yourself that there are others that need God's help, Need His love and forgiveness. They are tax payers and contributors to your church.
I ask God will guide us. I also pray for people's safety and care.
Thank You Father.

What The Heck Is This, Walker Getting Wobbly
Walker would consider bill changes but predicts passage despite union protests - JSOnline:
"Madison - Gov. Scott Walker said Wednesday he was considering changes at the margin of a bill to strip public workers of most of their union rights.
The Legislature's budget committee is expected to meet later this afternoon to consider changes to the bill, which also would require public employees to pay more for their benefits to help close a state budget gap.
The Republican governor said he was talking with legislative leaders from his party about extending state civil service protections - considered among the strongest in the nation - to local workers who would lose their right to bargain work rules under the proposal. Republican senators said Wednesday that amendments were being considered to the bill.
Nonetheless, Walker said he believed he still had the votes to pass it without changes."
I sure hope Walker does not buckle. What in the hell did we vote for in November? If this does not fly, it will be interesting in the upcoming elections for democrats and republicans. Go ahead Scott Walker, make our day.
TEA PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So Union Workers Get Less Pay and Benefits, From Their Own Web Site
From Jay Weber 1130 WISN
The Jay Weber Show:
"From AFSCME web site

Why do I need a union?
Simply talking about issues that affect public service employees isn’t enough. To make a difference, our voices must be heard. And we can be heard only when we organize as a union and gain the strength to make real change. Together, our collective voice is heard — on the job and in state legislatures and city halls."
Do union workers get higher wages?
Yes.1 Workers who are union members earn 30 percent more than non-union workers. Union wages are even greater for women and people of color. Women and African Americans represented by unions earn over 33 percent more than their non-union counterparts. And Latino workers with the union advantage make over 46 percent more than those not represented by a union.
Do union workers get better benefits?
Yes.2 Union workers are more likely than their non-union counterparts to receive health care and pension benefits. More than eight out of ten union members are covered by health insurance and have a pension plan — versus fewer than half of those not in a union.
Why do I need a union now?
Big corporations and anti-worker politicians are attacking public employees and the services we provide. Their goal is simple: privatize our jobs, strip us of our rights and dismantle the public sector. They’re going after our wages, our pensions and our health care. And in 2005, newly elected governors in Indiana, Kentucky and Missouri took away the bargaining rights of all state employees. This can happen anywhere.
In Washington, D.C., and in state capitols across the country, it’s the same old thing: politicians side with the rich and powerful, and neglect the needs of middle-class families. Whether you are a public employee or work for a private company providing public services, we have to act now to stop the right-wing rush to lower our wages and benefits and eliminate our rights. That’s why building a strong union is so important now.

Students Clueless Why They Were Taken To Protest
Seems these students from a Madison school have no idea why their teacher pulled them out of school to protest.It's worth watching.
Did they get parents to release the protest trip? What if a student was injured? What if a union rep threw a brick and hit a student? If the union is for doing what is right,
THE TEACHER SHOULD BE FIRED YESTERDAY!

The Tax Payers Spoke Last November
A good read from Market Place about "we" the tax payers.
Marketplace of Ideas Blog:
State employees specifically and liberals generally are getting an object lesson in how business has had to operate in the past couple of years. (A tweet from Walker yesterday said: “Spoke w/ workers who pay 50% of their health care premiums & others who had their 401(k) match suspended who would love our plan.”) That explains why the 85 percent of Wisconsin employees who do not get a paycheck from a unit of government have little sympathy for the 15 percent (a percentage far too high, by the way) who do.
A majority of that 85 percent made their opinions clear Nov. 2, as James Wigderson points out:
"Even less partisan taxpayers realize that public employee unions are a major contributor to the state’s wrong direction."

Fossilized foot bone proves ancient humans walked upright 3.2 million years ago - English pravda.ru: "

Researchers say they have found a fossilized foot bone that proves human ancestors were walking on two feet 3.2 million years ago.
The fossil of the midfoot bone (fourth metatarsal) shows that Australopithecus afarensis had a permanently arched foot and walked essentially the same as modern humans, according to researcher William Kimbel, of the Institute of Human Origins at Arizona State University, and colleagues."
Not sure if the bone belonged to Adam or not. Only God knows.

Wisconsin Deadlines, Fishing Shelter Removal
WDNR Weekly News Article - Deadlines approach for ice fishing shelter removal: "
Weekly News Article Published: February 15, 2011 by the Central Office
MADISON – The first of a number of deadlines for ice anglers to remove ice fishing shelters from inland and boundary waters is this weekend. All ice fishing shelters must be removed from Wisconsin-Iowa boundary waters by Sunday, Feb. 20. This date, affecting the Mississippi River south of the Minnesota-Iowa border, is set to correspond with Iowa regulations.
The deadlines for the other two boundary waters are March 1 for Wisconsin-Minnesota boundary waters and March 15 for Wisconsin-Michigan boundary waters.
For inland Wisconsin waters, ice fishing shelters must be removed daily and when not occupied after the first Sunday following March 1 for waters south of Highway 64 and after the first Sunday following March 12 for waters north of Highway 64. For 2011, those dates are:
Sunday, March 6 for waters south of Highway 64.
Sunday, March 13 for waters north of Highway 64.
One exception to this rule is that on the Fox River downstream from the DePere dam in Brown County, ice fishing shelters must always be removed from the ice daily and when not in use."

Wolves killing more dogs, livestock in state - JSOnline: "Wolves killing more dogs, livestock in state
e-mail print By The Associated Press
Feb. 15, 2011 10:28 a.m. |(2) COMMENTS
Madison - The state Department of Natural Resources says wolves are causing more problems for Wisconsinites.
A new report says wolves attacked animals on 47 farms last year compared to 28 farms in 2009. Twelve of those attacks were in Douglas County with 16 other northern Wisconsin counties reporting problems.
Wolves killed 34 dogs, 47 calves, 16 cows and six sheep in 2010. The DNR estimates the wolves cost farms a total of $114,000.
The agency's wolf expert, Adrian Wydeven, tells the Duluth News Tribune that the increase in attacks is because wolves are moving into new areas and because state officials have few options to kill wolves, which are protected under the federal Endangered Species Act."

State Workers Can keep Their Unions. What's The Problem?
Unions fight back against Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker's proposed bargaining rights changes | postcrescent.com | Appleton Post Crescent:
Workers battle budget repair proposal
BY SCOTT BAUER • ASSOCIATED PRESS • FEBRUARY 15, 2011
MADISON — Labor leaders said Monday that Gov. Scott Walker's proposal to end collective bargaining rights for the vast majority of public employees amounted to a declaration of war on unions."
I don't understand something. The state employees can keep their unions. Nobody is taking their unions and the union leaders away from the rank and file. They can keep paying their union dues and can keep paying their union leaders the 100's of thousands of dollars they receive.
They just have to vote once a year to keep themselves in their protective union. What ere theyafraid of? Are the leaders afraid the rank and file will want to keep their dues and dump the unions?
This from WQOW.
Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Total wage increases could not exceed a cap based on the consumer price index (CPI) unless approved by referendum. Contracts would be limited to one year and wages would be frozen until the new contract is settled. Collective bargaining units are required to take annual votes to maintain certification as a union. Employers would be prohibited from collecting union dues and members of collective bargaining units would not be required to pay dues. These changes take effect upon the expiration of existing contracts.
Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Wisconsin.gov - Employment - Job Seeker
It's alway good to be prepared.
If the Wisconsin state workers don't want to play ball like the rest of the tax payers then we might as well get information out there so people can replace them when they quit or if they strike should be fired! There are plenty of qualified people in Wisconsin to step into any state jobs at the drop of a dime. And probably at or less then proposed by the Governor.
