110% voter turn out in Madison

Eric the wad Holder was all over it on Tuesday’s recall. Madison was reporting turnout of 110%. Way to go wad. You’re doing a heck of a job. That sounds freaky, but same day registration allows for such anomalies. What is a bit more suspicious is that Demo-Dope challenger Tom Barrett got 120% of the 110%. These turn out totals remind me of communist election where voter turn out 98.9% and the commie party candidate wins 99% to 1%.


But hey it’s Madison, once described as the left coast of WI, thirty square miles surrounded by reality. Once you understand that, this video isn’t so hard to believe. I watched it 3 times so far. First, calling what is going on there “singing” ought to be a crime, false advertising or something. Put plainly, it sucks.

The solidarity “sing” along has been going on for 16 months now. I wondered what kind of lunatic would commit 16 months of their lives to this BS. The video gives you some sense, teachers, professional students and nit wits. Some are easier to pick out than others. Take the appropriately named Michael Dickman, clearly he’s in the nit wit category. He’s the guy who says “we didn’t lose last night.” Uh, excuse me Mike, you got your butts kicked good. When he gets to part where he says, “this isn’t over,” the only thing I can see is John Belushi in Animal House saying, “Over? Nothing's over until we say it’s over. Did we quit when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?”

Then there’s Mike Kristen and Thistle Pippy Longstockings Petterson. You have to watch several times to truly appreciate the shear stupidity of these two. Spoiler alert, Thistle is sad, which for some strange reason makes me very happy.

Some observations,
-  Except for the bus driver, where are the minos in this film? This film is whiter than Mr. Clean's T-shirt.
-  Can’t we give Tom Barrett a trophy or something? This election was so unfair to him.
-  CAUTION: If you name your kid after a thorny weed she’s likely to act like one.
