Feel the Burns.

The UW is pushing student turnout on this dark rainy morning...

For discussion of the Wisconsin Supreme Court primary (and a basis for understanding this post's title), go to last night's post, here. It's a real puzzle who to vote for, especially if you're a political hack.

Get out the dependent class vote.

Look left. Look right. Look center. Vote Neutral. I think there was one guy who could credibly qualify to uphold "justice is blind".

Why don't they post a picture from today? Gloomy grey skies. Or is that too much an indication of the Democratic Party in Wisconsin?

They say you need a sunny day to bring out the left-wing voters, so...

Everything's fake now, even the weather.

It doesn't seem right that students can vote in a state or local election when they are just temporary residents. Also, most of them don't pay taxes.

Looking at that building's architecture, you have about a hundred impregnable sniper nests.

Wrong. It's a gun free zone so no chance of that.

I've never understood the idea that "everyone needs to get out and vote".

If you're so uninvolved you don't know when to cast your ballot, you probably have no business voting.

I voted. Didn’t decide which one to vote for until I was alone with my ballot and picked up the pen. Didn’t even have it narrowed down to 2 of the 3. Screwiest primary I’ve ever voted in. Could have just stayed home. But I do the ritual. Really, I should swear off voting.

I figured the two lefty hacks would split the Democratic vote making Screnock a lock for the General, but I voted anyway.

Exactly why they were built, the labor troubles of the late 19th century. Cities and towns in the North were justifiably worried about insurrection so built buildings like this as a refuge of records and leaders. Think of all the armories that dot the New England countryside with narrow windows and battlements, the better to rain down fire on the rabble.

Student voting in the cities and towns they infest should have never been allowed to happen and is a reform that, along with voter ID, will go a long way to slowing down the Progressive March over the metaphorical cliff.

Hey! Alyssa Milano wants everyone in Wisconsin to vote Burns! No way, no how would that happen. But, she also tweeted that Obama & Holder are coming to Wisconsin in April to stump for the candidate of the left. Not sure if that will help or hurt. Political elections may lean Dem these days-not so sure about the Supreme Court.
