About Walker, And Jobs - - An NFL Training Camp Analogy

Wrong-Way Walker Tweeting from Dane County about a firm adding 40 workers while staying silent about a major Milwaukee firm laying off 600 workers Friday with just two days notice would be like Ted Thompson Tweeting fans from the road to announce his signing of a walk-on punter the same day Eddie Lacy and Jordy Nelson quit football.

Nice analogy. I just re-read your Sept 8, 2006 post in WisOpinion.com about Waukesha's lawywers, Godfrey and Kahn at the time, trying to make a behind-the-scenes, under-the-table request to Gov. Doyle to just approve a water diversion, without a Great Lakes Compact, without DNR, and without an application. The letter contained not-too-well concealed threats of litigation. (Duchniak, feigning horror, said "Litigation is the last thing we want." You wrote, "Dropping “litigation” into discussions of Great Lakes water policy-making is like throwing a grenade into a plywood shack."

Another nice analogy-metaphor. Two in one day--for me. That's a pair! There've been many more good ones in-between.
