Scott Walker defines a hero as “someone who, against all odds, does what is necessary to fight evil in the world.” And so it is that Walker believes that he is doing the right thing by making sure teachers don’t bankrupt the state.
“If we were to pay teachers what they would like to be paid, and give them the benefits they believe they should get, there would be nothing left to give to the private sector folks whom I pledged my allegiance to in order to get elected,” said Walker. “I have a duty to those folks and I am a man of my word.”
While teachers have a thing or two to say about the matter, Scott Walker has said time and time again that if any of those teachers wanted to make laws, “they should have become politicians, not teachers.”
In a related story, Walker denies that his apparent grudge against teachers is fueled by a childhood experience where, in 7th grade, his science teacher made fun of his baking soda volcano science project, calling it “so 5th Grade.”
Don’t make fun of Wisconsin.
Some things are sacred.
have a cousin who lives there. Last I heard, he was a few light bulbs shy of a candelabra.
I’m just glad Scott Walker still managed to add in the verbiage that allows him to sell all the power plants for pennies on the dollar… yeah, it wasn’t in the bill the house passed, but when it hit the senate, they put it back in (by some accounts, after it was already voted on.)
Isn’t it just best to focus on the positive, like the fact that there is NO CORRUPTION in Madison?
/not the little girl Madison my boys play with at school, the much larger one in Wiscaaaansin.
clever. Now how about a “These Shoes are Made for Walker” paraody?
(To the tune of ‘Son Of A Preacher Man’ (Which Walker is.)
Scott Walker was a preachers son
he got into politics to have some fun.
When it came time to really get down
he screwed everyone who worked for the town.
Well the one who really screwed us
was the son of a preacher man!
The only one who really stewed us
was the son of a preacher man!
He was, he was oh yes he was!
