I had some time to kill this morning before my son's student jam at the High Noon Saloon so my son, my ex-wife and I took a stroll down East Washington Avenue to the Capitol Square. I was not able to stay for the main part of the rally so if it looks a little sparse it is because we were there an hour before it started. On the way back we followed a sad, sad case. He had his "I support Walker" sign and he kept muttering to himself anytime we passed a speaker...things like, "Cry me a river." He parked next to the High Noon. He saw me, my ex-wife and our son wearing our stickers that said, "I signed the petition to RECALL WALKER." He stood there and looked right at me, my Recall Walker sign in my hands...I smiled, said hello and just kept on walking. He looked so deflated when I said hello to him. It was sad really....so much hatred in one person.
Lots of people were honking...

More below the fold...

Aha! I found an out of state agitator! She is behind the whole Recall Walker thingy.
I signed - Have you?

Okay...one gratitous shot of my son on stage at the High Noon Saloon playing "Rock and Roll All Nite"
As of Friday night we have collected 105,000 signatures and counting upwards. That is just four days into the recall effort.
Per the Dept. of Administration estimates today's crowd between 25,000 and 30,000 people - they were way off during the protest rallies (calling 125,000 people 80,000 people), so until I hear from other sources I would add 20-30,000 to these numbers.
RECALL WALKER! RECALL KLEEFISCH!
