Scott Walker is a giant festering boil on the butt of humanity. There, I said it. Look, it needed to be said. Now it is out there and there's no taking it back.
The Heritage Foundation hired Wisconsin Governor Walker, AKA, Union Breaking Ass Clown, to give a speech at a fundraiser in West Des Moines this evening. Me and all three girls joined 196 of our closest Union Brothers/Sisters and Occupy Des Moines friends at a fantastic display of people power at the West Des Moines Sheraton to protest his appearance. The people power was amazing but the police presence was just about as equally intense. At one point a police officer ordered my two and four year old daughters to get off of the Sheraton's grass and back onto the sidewalk. Protect and Serve ... indeed. The reason the babies were on the berm between the sidewalk and the Sheraton's parking lot in the first place is because I didn't want my toddlers too close to the busy road on which we were protesting on behalf of working men and women. I guess my motherly concern was trumped by corporate property rights. Damn.
Less the overly ambitious West Des Moines Police department, the protest was effective - enough to make Scott Walker go in through a back entrance. Pussy. What is it with politicians being so brazen in front of cameras but such PUDS when faced with the people they screwed? Seriously. We first saw it at that Christian Coalition thing on Sunday night. EVERY one of the six Repugs were sneaked in through the back door. Now, Pud Walker did the same at this Heritage Foundation Fundraiser. I guess we rattled their cages enough to make them sneak around - but they sneak around already, so it's probably just second nature. Urgh! PUD!
I'm looking forward to the International Robin Hood Tax Day on Saturday. We will all meet at the Art Park in Downtown Des Moines and march to Terrace Hill (the Governor's Mansion). The march begins at 10:00 AM. I wonder how I would look in green tights.
Green tights and red hair? Sounds fabulous to me. :) d
