ANOTHER THOUGHT: Support of people can exist because people are against the occupation, but you cannot keep those emotions unless you do something for people so they can survive and move forward — hope that they can have, hope for the future. — Dr. Abdullah Abdullah, former foreign minister of Afghanistan, quoted in Massoud: An Intimate Portrait of the Legendary Afghan Leader

That thought struck me as especially appropriate as we in Wisconsin roll toward our recall elections. No one so far has stepped up to the plate offering anything other than "I'm not Scott Walker" — which, provided that Bashir al-Assad doesn't get the nomination, is no reason NOT to vote for Walker.

Indeed, our would-be future governor, from Day One in office, is going to have to deal with not only the catastrophic damage that Walker and his lackeys have already done to Wisconsin, but also the creeping chaos engendered by eight years of Walker's predecessor Jim Doyle. Does anyone really want to return to proxy rule by an iron-fisted affirmative action bureaucracy while untold thousands of dead animals rot on the roadsides?

Folks, what we want from our next governor is not rocket science. WE WANT WISCONSIN TO BE GREAT AGAIN. Got that?
