But, why would they leave? Were open for business in Wi. They are not making shoes there. They are just a distribution center. All the shoes come from China and Indonesia anyway. I worked with a guy from Indonesia.. Nike’s are made there, he could buy them for $1.50 pr. Think about that next time you purchase some shoes.. The corporate right wingers just keep getting richer..Guess who is in the Koch brothers back pocket. My favorite puppet…

Huh, and all I hear is Walker is creating jobs..
I was there once 20 years ago, and the judging was the same then. If you are lucky enough to receive an award there, they are pretty cool. I have never gone back because of the way they do things there. I have seen concours winning cars, never win an award there. I spent the weekend in Kalamazoo at the NSRA Nats. Great time, great friends, good food…

Sounds like I missed a great show…after the last time I was there and saw how it was run. I said to myself I’m not going back there..I see nothing has changed..
$20 for dash plaque naaa I don’t think so. On the other hand the one in Sun Prairie is mixing Beer with bikes and cars..Thats never a good idea..I can’t wait to see the SP paper next week to see how many tickets were issued..

A bill passed by the Senate and the Representatives, then signed by the Governor, makes it a law. I learned that in school. The judges have no say.huh, was that a teacher that told you that? It’s amazing that teachers know these things.. I love teachers.

My friend is getting laid off from Wolf (sub zero) next Thursday, and they are laying off 53 people in July and moving to Texas!
But remember we have the tools, and were open for business…
