A couple of acquaintances near and far have mentioned how they enjoy my personal commentary more than political ones. I can understand that. Personally, I do too. However,there is an election today that bears watching.
It's happening in the land of brandy and beer, otherwise know as Wisconsin.
Supreme court justice, David Prosser, a conservative, is running for a ten year term on the court. His opponent is assistant attorney general, JoAnne Kloppenburg. She's a big time lib. If you've followed Wisconsin at all you're aware that the unions are out in force, threatening the general populace over Gov. Scott Walker's so-called collective bargaining, union busting bill, which it isn't.
According to the Wisconsin Daily Journal, Kloppenpoop is favored to win since only 20% of the voters bother to in off year elections and the commie union types are all fired up to get the ignorant masses to the polls.
Seriously, why do we have elections anymore? Why not have bicameral legislatures composed of the governor and supreme courts? The courts are supposed to interpret the laws but they don't. Ever hear of Florida in the election of 2000? Think of the money that would be saved if the electorate voted for justices instead of a slew of candidates who are less knowledgeable than I. State supreme court justices have already tipped their hands on what the legislation will be. State legislators, supposedly representing the electorate, ARE IRRELEVANT!
Just for the heck of it check out the news later this evening for the Prosser-Kloppenburg results. I always look at Fox instead of CNN or MSNBS but only because I'm a normal, sane American.
