You know what scares me?

I'm bored. I'm watching Wheel of Fortune (and Jeopardy). Every. Single. Commercial. Break. has had a pro-Scott Walker commercial. Every single one.

eta: even worse is how I forget to type things in my head. ahem. Pro-Scott Walker means "Democrats want you to pay for their pensions! Oh, and raise taxes! But if they'd just come back, Scott Walker (JESUS) could solve ALL of Wisconsin's problems, so those LAZY LAZY union people get pwned. Oh, and we're firing 227,000 people if Scott Walker doesn't win."

And then Scott stomps his feet like a six-year-old.

(ok, the last was hyperbole)

It's fucking frightening how many millions of dollars are being spent on lying so that big business can stay in power.

(further to the eta, I finally saw a "Scott Walker is a lying idiot" commercial)

IDK if you're a Rachel Maddow watcher, but last week she did a *beautiful* breakdown about how this isn't just about stripping union rights, it's about an opening salvo in a nationwide effort to break the unions in order to break the back of the Democratic party.

It's disgusting enough that Walker is playing lie filled politics with his state's employees to destroy their bargaining rights, but it's straight up grotesque that it's (pretty obviously, especially after that prank call) being done for political purposes that have nothing to do with budgets or workers rights.

She's been doing some really great coverage of the Wisconsin situation.
