There Is Power In A Union

Bily Bragg says there is only ONE proper candidate for this week's Fuck You Friday.

FUCK YOU SCOTT WALKER. FUCK YOU WITH A TEACHER'S SPLINTERY YARDSTICK WHILE A SNOW PLOW DRIVER RUNS OVER YOUR LEGS AND DANCING BADGERS EAT YOUR BALLS. THEN SPIT THEM INTO YOUR EARS. WHILE THE DEFENSIVE LINE OF THE SUPER BOWL CHAMPION GREEN BAY PACKERS STOMP ON YOUR EYES WITH THEIR CLEATS.

I would think most of you have seen some of the happening in my state of Wisconsin. Rachel Maddow made an excellent point in Thursday's show, that in the wake of Citizens United and the wanton destruction of ACORN, unions are the only large organizations that reliably support democrats. So of course, Republicans have decided that unions must die, and have apparently decided that the Republican dominated Wisconsin Lege is the right vehicle to lead the charge.

FUCK YOU Scott Walker, for pissing away Wisconsin's projected budget surplus through corporate tax goodies. A surplus, by the way, created by a Democratic Governor.

FUCK YOU, Scott Walker, for using this artificially created Fake Budget Crisis to insist on concessions by public employees; concessions that were not necessary until you fucked up the budget.

FUCK YOU Scott Walker for creating a bill that supposedly is intended to "fix the budget" - a budget that is only broken becasue of YOU - and filling the bill with non-budgetary items. Items like the stripping of collective bargaining, which has no impact on the budget; it is only a bald-faced attempt to break a union.

FUCK YOU, Wisconsin Republicans, for fast tracking this shit sandwich of a bill, addressing a budget that doesn't even need to be voted on for several months, in a naked attempt to shove it into law with no time for anyone to review, comment, or amend it.

FUCK YOU, Scott Walker and Wisconsin Republicans for reversing Wisconsin's century long leadership in worker's rights.

FUCK YOU, Wisconsin voters, for sending this right wing shill and authoritarian sheep fucker to the State Capitol because you don't like having a black man in the White House. Those of us who have lived in Milwaukee County while he bled it dry screamed warnings, but who listened? Not you, you low information squeezebags. Well, too late now, but the rest of us have to live in the hell you voted into power. And a second Fuck You for sending Walker-clone and male RealDoll Ron Johnson to the Senate in place of Russ Feingold. Fuck you.

FUCK YOU, Scott Walker and Fox News, for referring to the thousands of people protesting in Madison as thugs and violent. These are teachers, police, firemen, parks personnel, AND THEIR STUDENTS, FAMILIES, AND CHILDREN. Fuck you, seriously. The Teabaggers are the ones who carry and fetishize their penis-substitute guns. THESE ARE TEACHERS. Fuck off and die, just not around here, cuz you'll stink and draw flies.

FUCK YOU, national news media and Village Pundit People, for doing your best to ignore 15,000 - 30,000 people protesting in Madison EVERY DAY -IN THE WINTER - while you cream your jeans every time three Teabaggers have a circle jerk, even if two of them can't find their dicks because they can't get out of their Medicare-financed Rascal. I realize that you are intimidated by the lack of errors on the Madison protester's signs, but look, there are a lot of teachers in the crowd and they are probably willing to help you with your grammar and spelling.  Even if you are being cobags.

FUCK YOU, Republicans, for heartlessly and relentlessly demonizing public employees over the past year. As Dean Baker said, "Wall Street fat cats cratered the economy, and have managed to place the blame on schoolteachers and bus drivers." These are our neighbors, our brothers and sisters, sons and daughters. Our FAMILIES. I hope they fucking flunk your kids, you toad-raping corporate suck-whores. Oh, I forgot, yousend your precious spawn to private schools so they don't have to associate with the proles, don't you? Fuck you in your tender lily-white (because you KNOW they are white) asses. With concrete settlement vibrators.

RECALL SCOTT TURDWAFFLE WALKER NOW.

I begin to suspect that Imperial Walker may be a perennial guest on Fuck You Fridays.

[update;  driftglass and  bluegal's new podcast talks at length about Wisconsin's protests. Hey, why not listen at work?]

[MOAR EDIT.  Since I pretty much stole this schtick from Rude Pundit, you might as well read the original where he's got a sweet heartfelt letter to The Turdwaffle.]

[Fuck You Friday Post-Action Report. After venting about the owner of a HUGE white Tundra and his inability to park, I discover that apparently Dude reads the Empire. Because after Substance suggested photographing, I started to do so and the rest of this week, Dude actually has been parking in a reasonable fashion. I mean, it's still a huge ugly oversized Penis implant vehicle, that doesn't quite fit into the spaces, but at least he's now limiting himself to a single space. So one week, one win. Yay, FYF!]
