Althouse: "Any time you switch anything up in Wisconsin — it's a very rare thing

December 31, 2011

"Any time you switch anything up in Wisconsin — it's a very rare thing — so you got to like that."

Badgers appreciate the subtlety, lightness, and slimming effect of their new Rose Bowl uniforms.

(In other Rose Bowl news, Occupy losers horn in on the Rose Bowl parade.)

AND: The Recall Walker signature gatherers are traveling all the way to Pasadena to intrude on the Rose Bowls. How about traveling around the actual state of Wisconsin? Who's paying for the trip, by the way?

The end of the parade, after the cops go by, is always filled with kooks, and vagabonds, and religious nuts in a variety pack, often with good classic end-times, apocalyptic warnings.

So, those folks will fit right in.

Though, would it have been too difficult to get with the theme of the thing and just carry flowers?

Occupy and trash go together like peas in pod, lacking imagination in most every way possible.; 12/31/11, 10:13 AM
Insufficiently Sensitive said...: Note that the LA Times is still playing the MSM game, first lathering the occupists with coverage, then declaring that 'the Occupy movement is leaderless'.

Their wise-monkey reporters haven't seen the SEIU ad to hire a coordinator at $65K to plan and execute strategic direction action field plans including banner drops, bank takeovers, and capitol occupations with membership, other local unions and coalition partners.

My bazoo the movement is leaderless.; 12/31/11, 10:13 AM

I thought the parade people had originally told the Occupiers to take a hike (and anything else they wanted to do).

PS The leader of the Occupation, at least as far as money is Dr Evil and I have no doubt Andy Stern and the Rathke brothers are its creative consultants.; 12/31/11, 10:34 AM

I believe it was Jesus that warned the hypocritical Pharisees that self-righteousness was no different than any other sin; and the obsession with outward perfection blinded them of their own inner corruption and need for grace. No?; 12/31/11, 10:53 AM

Patrick said...: Well Garage, when the occupiers learn how to clean up after themselves, maybe then we can listen to the finer points of their Christian philosophy.

I hope you have a Happy and fulfilling New Year, in every way except for your political hopes. Not because I wish you ill will, but because I believe your political ideas won't lead anywhere good.; 12/31/11, 11:44 AM

My first reaction was, I'm sure garage will get right on that. But I guess I'm wrong. Maybe he'll get around to it once he's done paying homage to Alinsky's 4th rule.; 12/31/11, 5:45 PM
