The office of the effort to recall one of the Fleebaggers has been burgled (emphasis added):
Green Bay police are investigating an apparent break-in at the office of the “Recall Dave Hansen”effort at 1136 W. Mason St.
Petitions, a computer and T-shirts were among the items reported stolen, police said.
I know that when I’m looking to score crack money, nothing draws my eye like page after page of signatures.
The Democratic state senator is among the lawmakers being targeted in recall efforts stemming from Wisconsin’s ongoing budget controversy.
The burglar or burglars broke a window to make entry, police said. The incident occurred between 5 p.m. Thursday and 8 a.m. Friday, police Lt. David Paral said.
Organizers of the effort, in an email to media, blamed the break-in on “the (opposition) of ‘Recall Dave Hansen.'” Police said they did not have descriptions of suspects.
Total value of the missing items is slightly more than $1,000, Paral said.
Or, depending on how you view Wisconsin politics, several billion dollars.
Of course, we don’t know it was Wisconsin Democrats or Union supporters that pulled off the heist.
Really. It could be a crack addict who figured she could pawn stacks of signatures. Maybe she thought they were Packer autographs.
Hey, it could be.
Shhhhh. This story is not to be reported. The Green Bay Press Gazette had the story, but other than that, we are not to talk about this.
It gets old saying this, but……imagine if it was the other way around. A Democrat office was broken into and the signatures to recall a Republican were stolen. It would be on the front page of every newspaper in the upper midwest.
The police are currently extracting latent DNA from several menthol cigarette butts found at the scene of the crime.
Lets hope that every other group trying to recall a (D) learns today, that a deadbolt is no longer enough of a deterrent to the union goons and their supporters. Put the petitions in a safe, or better yet, a safety deposit box at a bank.
I’ve got a brilliant idea.
Currently the quorum for the US congress is a simple majority.
This is bad because it allows a slim majority in the US Congress to dictate public policy for all 50 states and 300 million+ American citizens.
Let’s change the US congress quorum to 60% or 2/3.
Nothing would ever get done with slim majorities by either party, and we could make this country the federal republic it was designed to be.
Terry, that’s the type of gridlock we can agree on.
Interesting reading the comments on the article. The Democrats say this is really a Republican setup. Fine, but by the number of comments and the hateful tone, they sound like they are in a panic. The left has to know that this is their work.
Next time you hear about the “New Tone” or “Civilty” from a leftist, bring up this example from Wonkette.

Read the comments they are as vile as the article.

The problem with thinking that gridlock will fix what ails us is that some of the most expensive programs (e.g. Social Security, Medicare, etc.) are essentially on “auto pilot” and are set to crash the budget unless reforms are made. So basically what you’d be doing is “locking in” the programs and mess that the previous generation of politicians have made and leaving no practical avenue for undoing the damage.
