I loved to read every week--I really miss it, too.

I lurked for a long time, then finally joined and I'm up to a whopping 59 posts. I'm a lifelong democrat, from a family of democrats, in a blue state. Both my parents were union members and because of their union wages, they raised six college-educated kids.

Other than the disastorous recall, we've had a good run in Wisconsin. We need to get our groove back with a Tammy Baldwin win and deliver the state for Obama.
