This morning, my fellow Wisconsites and I awake to another week in the land of what many refer to as FitzWalkerstan. Last week's recall election losses were hard to swallow, though "our side" did manage to take two of six. Up tomorrow are two more recalls, this time of two Democratic senators who left the state for a few weeks last spring to conduct a virtual fillibuster intended to slow down the Walker train wreck. Needless to say, we are again holding our breath and hoping for victory.
Despite the dispiriting effect of watching the candidate I had worked hard for go down to defeat, I managed to keep going last week, and to get some things done.
