Web Log Purpose

A web log based on the principle that a civilized society deserves democratic government based on integrity. The premise here is the U.S. democracy has effectively been subverted by oligarchical forces which must be opposed with facts and rational thought. (An RSS feed is recommended.)

Democrats in Wisconsin Senate Respond to Changed Circumstances

After a staffer from an on-line blog "pranked" Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin by impersonating plutocrat David Koch, Democrats today reacted to the revelation by Walker in the phone call of a plan to trick Democrats into returning to Madison.

The story is best read at the Huffington Post web site. (Click on blog post title above for more.) There is no need for me to make any kind of snide comment here. I can't say I feel pity for Walker. But whatever caused the governor to accept this prank call, he has become a pathetic figure in the Greek sense. No matter how you slice it or dice it, as they say, this is a person who never should have been elected governor. His motives are corrupted and his political judgment has been called into serious question.
