Why Won’t the Left Let Me Parody Them?

They keep doing it themselves and leaving me out in the cold. I feel so outsourced.

Union thugs trashed the Wisconsin Capitol building because the state planned to cut their pay.

The unions’ proposed solution: have volunteer workers clean it up.

i.e. have people work for the state and not get paid at all.

By the way, it’s not just “taking down a few posters”. There’s permanent marker to be removed, too.

Exit question: who the hell habitually carries a purple Sharpie with them?

  1. Teachers do. Ever since the NEA decided that red marking on homework might make the little kiddies think they did something incorrectly. Remember, the NEA’s official position, feeling good is more important than correct answers (unless the feel good answer is also correct and not Marxist, then the only acceptable answer is..the utterly wrong one.)

  2. Please pay no attention to what the left actually says and does. Just know that when they do it it’s “for your own good” and that “they know best.” The fact that those that are pushing the cause always benefit personally from the results at the expense of others is of no significance. Now, please stop talking about it and comply…or else.

  3. Tea partiers have announced that they will clean up outside the capitol building because they had their demonstration there and the lefty loons wiil claim that all the litter was abandoned by the tea party like all the pro union signs. Telling lies is what they do reflexively. There is a place dedicated to low life scum bags with no manners, style, personal hygiene, intellect, or morals and given to violent outbursts and it is not the state capitol, it is the jerry springer show.

  4. Sharpies of any color are banned at my kid’s middle school, because someone might get high off of the fumes. Zero tolerance! Except for dry-erase markers, which are still allowed because the teachers refuse to go back to using the chalkboards that are installed underneath the dry-erase boards. Some tolerance! But only if the teachers’ union demands it!

  5. Purple Sharpies… I did some Purple Haze in college. Is that like the same thing? My experience was like way cool! Lot’s of stuff materialized that wasn’t there! If Purple Sharpies are like Purple Haze they should not be allowed in School! All the kids would be walking around going “wow man” and stuff!

  6. Yeah, and I read somewhere that Tea Partiers were a good portion of the volunteers who offered to clean-up the mess. Figures. I keep pushing the fact that the “Tea Party” is made up of all kinds of responsible people from all races, religions and cultures, not to mention Independents, Libertarians and disenfranchised Republicans and Democrats. Funny, Newt just announced his exploratory run and wants money from me. Should I donate so he can “explore??”

    In other news, I can’t wait to plant potatoes! (Sorry about that. I’ve got spring fever and have been outside all day working in the dirt (where my Irish roots are growing!).

  7. I’m not planting anything yet, Jimmy, just getting it ready.

    If I was truly desperate, I could plant some green beans this week and get some nitrogen in the soil the old fashioned way.

  8. Go for the spinach. It goes so well with bacon in quiche (assuming a woman cooks the quiche). Otherwise, just call it scrambled eggs with bacon and greens, ’cause I’m old enough to remember that real men don’t cook quiche.

    Green beans are also excellent with bacon.

  9. You should plant 4 corn kernels and 3 climbing green beans in each hill. Then throw in a dead fish before you fill it back in. The beans climb the corn and the nitrogen is right in there next to the roots. My dad taught me this method back in the late ’40s. Really grows great.

  10. Of course I’m an old school mom so my advise to the Governor is “No union worker gets paid until they come back and clean up their mess. ” They made it, they clean it up. End of story. If they don’t fire them all. Every last one.

  11. Harvey — super speed bonus and power up for noticing the color of the Sharpie. I’ve had this theory explained to me in person:

    1) Purple Sharpies
    2) ???
    3) Educated Children

    That’s right, Jimbo, time for me to clear out the corn patch and get some nitrogen in the soil. Too bad it’s raining now.

    We’re in blizzard conditions here. That means exactly one thing: IT’S TIME TO BELCH 2-STROKE, AIR-COOLED EXHAUST! YAY!

  12. Now you’re talking Burma. Up here in Alaska we aren’t even close to thinking of gardens. Plenty of time to for gardens later, now’s the time to fire up the snow-machine and hit the trail. Two stroke engines rule.
