Miss Paul Ryan-Speaking

Transcript: What they're offering people is a full stomach and an empty soul. The American people want more than that. You know, this reminds me of a story I heard from Eloise Anderson. She serves in the cabinet of my buddy, Governor Scott Walker. [crowd cheers, Paul Ryan blinks]
paul ryan
cont. She once met a young boy from a very poor family and every day at school he would get a free lunch from a government program. He told Eloise he didn't want a free lunch. He wanted his own lunch, one in a brown paper bag just like the other kids. He wanted one, he said, because he knew a kid with a brown paper bag had someone who cared for him. This is what the left does not understand.

A spokesman for Eloise Anderson now says she "misspoke."

Post cards from Wisconsin - one or 2 crazy people


This is quite a large large demonstration! And... what have we here:
The Kansas-based company has hired Canadian lobby firm Global Public Affairs and consultant David Keto, a former project manager with Alberta Finance. Keto was also executive assistant to cabinet minister David Coutts from 2001 to 2003, Livingstone-Macleod.
Sam Livingstone and Colonel James Macleod. David Coutts represented Livingstone-Macleod in the Legislative Assembly of Alberta from 1993 to 2008. Hm. Industry stakeholders and public officials.

We the Kochs

Ian Murphy of Buffalo Beast calls the big guy, WI Gov. Scott Walker, pretending to be David Koch, pronounced Coke, not cock or even Kochsucking Bros. Fun, fun, fun.
Koch: We’ll back you any way we can. What we were thinking about the crowd was, uh, was planting some troublemakers.
Walker: You know, well, the only problem with that —because we thought about that. The problem—the, my only gut reaction to that is right now the lawmakers I’ve talked to have just completely had it with them, the public is not really fond of this […]
As Wisconsin anti union busting protests spread to Missouri and Sarah Palin weighs in with her well-considered gravitas, brother and sister, à la solidarity soirée, up close & personal, on Facebook, some juicy story about {{nurses and teachers--->}} 'shared sacrifice' (see: the Sarah-name and Bristol-name, as trademarks), the kochsuckers, yes bros. It's hard to know what all gets funded: American Legislative Exchange Council and Americans For Prosperity and standwithwalker.com and Joe the faux populist and what was that climate channel with the "trickle down" crowd.

There seems to be a lot of 'faux' going around... pretend Facebook fans - and/or pretend social consensus - and/or pretend hordes of supporters:
According to an embedded MS Word document found in one of the HBGary emails, it involves creating an army of sockpuppets, with sophisticated "persona management" software that allows a small team of only a few people to appear to be many, while keeping the personas from accidentally cross-contaminating each other--- source
Or denier-bots, similar to Conservative DND (Department of National Defense) CFB Cold Lake based F-18-35 opposition bashing wiki cadets or other Party edict chat soldiers of the fading public sphere, but really software programs. And "Leaked emails from Aaron Barr, CEO of a federal subsidiary for HB Gary" are just part of it. It gets worse.
But what does the US military use those same networks for? Well, we can't tell you: That's "classified," a CENTCOM spokesman recently informed Raw Story.--- source
In 2009: Koch Industries Inc. slashed 25% of workers in Greenbay, Wisconsin while Koch Bros. joint net worth increased by $11b. That's the main thing.

UK Uncut, the new protest group against austerity measures in the UK spreads to USA
UPDATE: Private prisons, Wackenhut and faux assailant - Carlos F. Lam, a Johnson County deputy prosecutor, resigned Thursday [March 24, 2011] after acknowledging he sent an email last month urging Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker to discredit labor union protests by orchestrating a fake assault on himself. Possibly, Lam suggested, the pretend assailant might even use a firearm.

Faux the plumbers.
