damn_registrars's Journal: Because of course, that's what a socialist would do... ?

Why wouldn't a socialist leader go and publicly commemorate the fall of the Berlin Wall?.

Comparing the two makes no sense. Of course, I'm willing to bet you have read - at most - only one of the two so you see no difficulty in doing so.

Here's a hint for you. Walker rattled off a list of "places where great people from Wisconsin are from" and did not mention the largest city by population in his state.

Well jeeze, you know he had to let 'em off the hook. He took their money. What should we expect when they are rewarded for it? You don't punish a dog for obeying a command...
