WImP Radio Today.

While I missed Owen this morning I did pick up something interesting in the Afternoon.

Dean Kaufert the GOP state senator from Appleton was on. Wow, you could not believe the people that were calling in (well I guess knowing the crowd here, we all understand what the typical WImP Radio caller is all about). One woman calling from Appleton basically accused the GOP of gutting the schools and since she knows she lives in a high tax state they might as well max it out! Same thing from the next caller!

Senator Kaufert pointed out the obvious. That Appleton just raised school spending on its own and if any municipality wanted to do so they could put it before the voters and have it happen locally. Of course no amount of pointing out nothing is actually being cut actually makes these people believe differently. The budgets are being increased and if we went along with the teacher's industrial complex's (TIC's) suggestion, there would still be plenty of WImP Radio callers whining how the children are suffering under Republicans.

One fellow called in griping about the rise in UW tuition (guess who he was blaming it on) and the guy just rambled and rambled and rambled and rambled....on. He said he had a question and every time Ben would prompt him to ask the question the guy would pull out his paper and keep on rambling on about all sorts of wide and varied facts. Finally the guy sensed even Ben had enough and he asked some sort of very inconsequential question, the point was not the question but the points that were written on his sheet.

Claudia does not pay a whole lot of attention to politics but even she could pick up on the idiocy of these callers!

How badly bitten is your tongue Owen?
