He is a pensioner and likes his entitlements. He doesn't dress very conservatively (clean cut), but rather looks <br />disheveled and of low socioeconomic class. The 2 things Blaska has in common with the WISGOP<br />1) He like entitlements for himself but not his neighbor and 2) He is seething with anger. <br />Not much to be proud of. Blaska seems to have a rule book of his own.

When I review your response, it presents no example of a point that you refuted because it wasn't factual. The other half of your post was insulting me by lying that I am a drug user. Blaska, I work in an industry like banking and make a very good living. I do not do drugs and I rarely have a drink except for a glass on wine when out to dinner. I find your rants to be hateful and unintelligent. You don't make compelling arguments, nor do you back up your arguments factually.

I will be looking for Meg's editorials in the future. <br /> If there is any poetic justice, the Guv is peeing in a cup out in Palm Springs, part of a litmus to see if he is worthy for Charlie & Dave's handout. <br />Drug testing, as the editorial pointed out, is not cost effective, will only prove a small percentage, maybe even smaller than Walker's poll numbers, will test positiver and only serves ALEC businesses that can profit from this exercise. <br />As for Mr. Blaska's barely germane "blame Obama" posts, it only serves to put us on the defensive about "food stamps". The distraction about enrollment levels is pointless to this discussion, especially when the states taking the most SNAP money are all fire engine red in their voting, er, caging. The point of the discussion is strictly Walker and his strong distaste for the children, working poor and elderly of Wisconsin. If he really cared, he wouldn't poo-poo initiatives like a higher minimum wage. <br />Come to think of it, really, if SNAP is so bad, then why is taking 50% off your tax bill for a three-martini business lunch more acceptable than a kid getting a quart of milk?
