Wilco Fans Support Scott Walker for WI Governor
Last Saturday our family walked down to check Center Street Daze. It’s a counter-culture festival held each September here in Milwaukee. My favorite part of the festivities were the art cart races. There aren’t many rules for the cart races. The carts have to be human powered. They race down the street, turn at a pylon, and then race back to the starting line. Since this is an election year some of the carts had a political theme.
Here is the High Speed Rail cart. My next door neighbor is one of the guys doing the pushing. Obama has proposed a high speed rail line that would connect the major metro areas in the midwest. Scott Walker, the republican running for Wisconsin governor opposes the project. Notice the sign at the back of the cart.
Here comes High Speed Rail down the home stretch. Notice the sign on this side of the cart, “Madison or Bust”. Rather than give me a feeling of solidarity with my fellow democrats the idea of Madison and Milwaukee linked by a high speed rail fills me with horror. How will I ever get tickets to see Wilco at the Pabst theater if all the Madison Hippies have access to a high speed train linking them to Milwaukee. Milwaukee area Wilco shows already sell out in like 10 minutes. Their Madison shows sell out in less than four minutes. My only hope is to see Scott Walker elected governor and the train project sidelined by Republican roadblocking.
Here is the Scott Walker cart. I think they called it “The Chicken Politician”. Hey Wilco fans, I think it’s time to take another look at this guy.
