I would like
to thank all of you who have read my tirades and rants over the years. After
viewing the results of this week's elections I have finally seen the error of
my ways.
Here's a sample of what I've seen and what
leads me to my decision.
Joe D. is reelected in a landslide after
ignoring the Democratic candidate for governor and openly supporting
Christie. He is also being accused of
spending campaign funds for personal use with documented evidence and he
collects his pension while still working (no pension reform for him!)
Scott Walker is reelected after successfully
destroying bargaining rights for public workers which represent a large segment
of the middle class in WI.
John Grimes from Staten Island is reelected
after threatening to throw a reporter over a balcony in the Capitol because he
didn’t like the question he was asked.
List goes
on!
I am giving up playing Don Quixote. I am
going into rehab and try to cure myself of my ongoing delusion that my writing
could possibly help to stimulate meaningful opposition to the bashing and derision
of teachers and public workers (basically then the middle class).
I will be writing no more posts in the
foreseeable future. If anyone would like to replace me just write to me at:
wsautter@optonline.net.
I will give
you complete instructions on how to use and modify this blog site for your
postings if you care to do so.
Again, thanks for reading over the years.
Finally, for
all you teachers and public workers - "Best of Luck" - I think you
are going to need it.
"Nobody
ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public."
