A bit of humor...
Here's a bit of real humor to add to the on-going circus atmosphere our state currently finds itself in. Besides the upcoming round of ridiculous recalls, we now have Voter ID being temporarily put on hold by liberal Madison judges - legislating from the bench as usual. Next come the recent "ethics allegations" filed against Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David Prosser. (Are people shaking their heads on this one in disgust like me? They should be - it's totally absurd.) Yet another case of trying to keep the state in chaos simply because a minority is not happy with election results. Also, lets not forget the "Twilight Zone" episode of the never-ending John Doe investigation. Libs are just looking to "get Walker" on anything - just anything! - no matter how long it will take...
With all this in mind, it's nice to be able to laugh once in awhile at a real joke - not just the antics of the left in our state! Enjoy the following, sent to me by my sister-in-law from out in Montana. Guess she hasn't forgotten her Wisconsin roots -
YOU MAY NEED TO BE FROM WISCONSIN, MINNESOTA, OR THE U.P. OF MICHIGAN TO APPRECIATE THIS STORY.
The year is 2016 and the U.S. has just elected the first woman president,who happens to be from Wisconsin. A few days after the election, the president-elect, whose name is Susan, calls her Father, Ole, and says,'So,Dad, I assume you will be coming to my inauguration?'
“I don’t tink so. It’s an 18 hour drive.”
'Don't worry about it Dad, I'll send Air Force One, and a limousine will pick you up at your door.'
'I don't know. Everybody will be so fancy. Vhat would your mother vear?'
Oh Dad ," replies Susan, 'I'll make sure she has a wonderful gown custom-made by the best designer in Washington.'
'Honey,' Ole complains, 'you know I can't eat dose rich foods you eat.' Do day serve tap beer?
The President-to-be responds, 'Don't worry Dad. The entire affair will be handled by the best caterer in Washington; I'll ensure your meals are salt free. You and mom just have to be there.'
So Ole reluctantly agrees and on January 20, 2017, Susan is being sworn in as President of the United States. In the front row sits the new president's Dad and Mom. Dad, noticing the senator sitting next to him, leans over and whispers, 'You see dat woman over dare wit her hand onda Bible, becoming President of da United States?'
The Senator whispers back, 'You bet I do.'
Ole says proudly, "Her brother played football for da Green Bay Packers."

Regarding Wisconsin, I find this interesting since California is the roll model for our country.
From the state completely controlled by Democrats. Posted today.
""". San Francisco Chronicle readers woke up to the news that approximately 20,000 public school teachers may not have a job when school starts again in fall. Budget uncertainties are some of the reasons why not all current teachers may come back to the classroom in the 2012 to 2013 school year. * March 15 is the agreed upon deadline for school districts to warn current teachers of possible layoffs. As pointed out by the Mercury News, districts have used this negotiated deadline to send out pink slips to teachers "just to keep their options open," even if district administrators believe that they may have the funds needed to re-employ the educators in the fall.
* $2.4 billion is the threatened year-end education budget cut that Gov. Jerry Brown will make if his Nov. ballot tax increase measure does not pass. The sum total of cuts is twice as high over two years. """
I give thanks to Governor Walker, and the rest of our Republicans in Madison for what they did that protected the jobs of the very teachers involved in recalls and protests.

Then I did get this:"Prosser is an extreme partisan hothead who has little respect for
the law and even less for women. I guess misogynists find a very welcoming home
in the conservative wing of the republican party." But you do understabnd that
according to witnesses Prosser was the one attacked ! Yet you seem to cover up
that part of the story . hhmmmm Lies ? Definitely from Neutered !

Its not funny like that Rush Limbough joke he recently made.

As for the Prosser case, remember just a while ago, there was no cause in which to file criminal charges? No reason found to pursue the case? (See: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0811/62070.html)
The weak-to-begin-with case (conconted by the bulldog Shirley Abrahamson and her evil twin Ann Walsh-Bradley) went over like a lead balloon. Yet, all of sudden - charges come out of nowhere? Do the lefties think people are stupid?
I think that is really funny. About as funny as the WI dad joke.
And I did think that Rush Limbaugh was right on target pegging the "reproductive rights activist" Susan Fluke - for what she was - a pawn for the left. A plus for the right - as most women haven't bought into Flukes crying about others paying for her birth control. This issue, too, went over like a lead balloon. And Rush attracted even more listeners in the process!

For those who will say its Schwarzenegger fault, how about the mess Doyle left Wisconsin with. Doyle the coward, who could not face our citizens in trying to be re-elected.

A man was walking along a Florida beach and stumbled across an old lamp. He picked it up and rubbed it, and out popped a genie.
The genie said, "OK, You released me from the lamp, blah blah blah. This is the fourth time this month, and I'm getting a little sick of these wishes so you can forget about three... You only get one wish!"
The man sat, and thought about it for a while and said, "I've always wanted to go to Hawaii, but I'm scared to fly, and I get very seasick. Could you build me a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over there to visit?"
The genie laughed and said, "That's impossible!!!
Think of the logistics of that! How would the supports ever reach the bottom of the Pacific? Think of how much concrete -- how much steel!! No, think of another wish."
The man said, "OK, I'll try to think of a really good wish."
Finally, he said, "I've been unemployed for 3 and a half years, I voted for Obama and I believe in all of his promises of Hope and Change. The stimulus package passed and I don't understand why I see no change and still have no hope.
So, I wish that all of the aspects of the America for Prosperity Act that were actually capable of working will finally make use of that Mega Billion Dollar stimulus and make Obama's promises finally come true."
The genie said, "Do you want that bridge to be two lanes or four?"

"what's even worse is I wonder how may of our so called "impartial" judges signed the Walker recall (as of today, the number is 29!). Wonder when the job creators will start to leave WI like they have in other liberal states."

President Obama thinks it's so funny that Gas is approaching $5 per gallon that he yucks it up and cracks jokes while he lies about his domestic drilling policy (Oil production in the Gulf will be down almost 20% in 2013 based on the stagnated permitting process in the Obama Administration):

Pretty funny though Barry. Remember in 2008 when your goal was to get gas prices to the pricing level in Europe? Mission accomplished: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-pAvg6McPQ&feature=related

So it is a good thing that Tammy Baldwin does little to nothing to keep her constituents informed?
I suppose it may be the only way to keep their support. Or it is possible that when she spends all her time trying to push through her Domestic Partnership Legislation to benefit her wife, she doesn't necessarily want to advertise: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/D?d112:7:./temp/~bdJ6WR::

Yes, humor is a strong attractant, along with now being nearly commercial free.

Another case in point: The following joke has been recycled for the past 20+ years to fit the President of the time. When it first circulated about Obama, the Left were appalled that the "assassination" of the President would be deemed as funny. http://funny-a-day.com/jokes/funny-obama-jokes/

It was funny when it was about W though: http://www.ebaumsworld.com/jokes/read/562337/

It is neither. Most conservatives "think" they have a sense of humor. By and large, they do not. But lets take a look:
