HEY GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY!!
I just got eaten by a shark!
TalkingPointsMemo.com: From the beginning of the Wisconsin situation one thing that’s been clear from almost all the national media is that it’s a tough spot for the public employees unions because the public at large doesn’t like unions. Especially public employees unions. Only now there are a string of polls out — particularly yesterday’s Gallup poll — which show that that’s simply not true. The nation at large overwhelmingly opposes banning collective bargaining rights for public employees (61% – 33%). That’s not just to say that they’re against restricting the rights of organized labor, but public sector unions in particular.

Most people don’t realize it yet but this country is in the beginning of an open civil war/revolution. It’s a bringing out into the open the conflict of class war that’s been waged silently over the last thirty years. It won’t be like other sustained wars. It will be hit and miss, here and there.

Where is the V man now? He is out looking for the thrill. The feeling of worth and value each man gets when he has wrestled with eight-legged reptile men from the center of Iowa and walked away a wiser man.
Perhaps he will find the thrill biting trees in half. Perhaps he’ll find it deep within the dark, stinking earth down where the rabbits have no eyes and they don’t want any either.
Perhaps right now, even as I type this, our good friend V is turning into a man made of gold, capable of unspeakable acts and possessing a sharper sense of justice than any of us deserve.
Godspeed, Mr. V, Godspeed.
