WI Bar Discriminates Against Conservatives

Last night I went to the Rox Bar and Grille in Pewaukee, WI with five conservative friends.  On our way out -- after spending money in their establishment -- the doorman said to never come back, due to wearing gear promoting Governor Scott Walker.

Walker supporters and former Rox Bar patrons have swarmed the Rox Bar's Facebook page to express their outrage.  We await comment from the bar's owner.

For those outside of the area: the bar is in Waukesha County, near the hometown of Governor Scott Walker.

The shirt, a favorite among Walker supporters, can be purchased online at B&D Embroidery.










UPDATE: The bar has posted an apology on Facebook. (Spoiler alert: It's lame.  Also, it's not an apology.)  Click (below) to read the non-apology apology and read updates about this developing incident.

Great AFP footage forthcoming

There was a kickass AFP Summit in WI today (yesterday).  I'll be posting footage throughout the week.  Stay tuned.

Republican! Identity! Crisis! (eyeroll)

Why is it that diversity is celebrated for anything remotely Lefty and scorned elsewhere?  Right now, there are four strong and very different Republicans vying for the privilege of carrying the Republican banner.  The Media Complex and Blog Menagerie are having a field day pointing out that the GOP have not yet united around a single view point.

Uh, why should we?

camera-a-a-a

I got a video camera today.  I'm a little in awe of it.  I'm not sure if I'll keep it, but hopefully I'll get to test it out on some good action soon.

Well, hopefully there won't be any good action any time soon.  If there is, I'll be testing it out.

Whee!

Letter to the Occupiers: Don't You Know It's Gonna Be All Right?

We all want to change the world -- but when you talk about destruction, don't you know that you can count me out.  


You say you got a real solution.  We'd all love to see the plan.  You ask me for a contribution.  We're all doing what we can.  But if you want money for people with minds that hate, all I can tell is brother you have to wait.  


You say you'll change the constitution.  We all want to change your head.  You tell me it's the institution.  You better free you mind instead.  But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao, you ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow.


Don't you know it's gonna be all right? 

UN owns OWS website

Yep!

The organizing hub website 15october.net is registered to:
Paulina Arcos
866 United Nations Plaza
Suite 516
New York, New York 10017

According to a Wikileaks cable, Ecuador's Foreign Minister Francisco Carrion-Mena is "married to Paulina Arcos".  He is also the chairman of the UN's Decolonization committee.

What is Carrion-Mena's address at the UN?  You betcha, it's the same as Paulina Arcos's 15october.net website!

Question: why the hell is the UN connected to a website promoting Occupy Wall Street's "spontaneous", "organic", and "leaderless" uprising and growth throughout the world?


Question: why was the domain name 15october.net registered in July 2011?

Question: why isn't the media talking about this?

ADDED: 15october.net has posted an explanation.  Paulina Arcos paid for the website with her credit card.  Her son (Santiago Carrion) is the one affiliated with the website.  Question: Why the hell is the UN connected to a website promoting OWS and #globalchange?  (I understand that Santiago Carrion asked to use his mother's credit card.  That doesn't address the question, though.  Via her credit card, she has endorsed the website.  Why?)

TP/OWS, Paving the Way...

Okay, I finally get it.  The Tea Parties were called a radical fringe group because they paved the way for contemporary understanding of peaceful gatherings of patriots.  Occupy Wall Street has such a noble depiction, because the Tea Party paved the way.  


Right?  Right??
