Was in Milwaukee this weekend . . . . [View all]

. . . there was a teacher's convention/conference at the hotel I was staying at.

I rode up the many-floored elevator . .. crowded . . . I noticed a female teacher (as indicated by her badge/pass) who sported a sticker stating "I Stand With Scott Walker".

REALLY??

Who the hell can figure why supposedly educated people buy into whackjob bullshit and vote against their best interests? Is it a mean streak? Is it misanthropy? Is it a superiority complex?
