" In what has to be one of the most remarkable accidents in American politican history, Scott Walker, the goggle-eyed homunculus hired by the Koch Brothers to manage their midwest subsidiary formerly known as the state of Wisconsin, just happened to be in Milwaukee today and announced that he was going to save the poor folks. This has nothing to do with the fact that his likeliest opponent in the recall election in June is Tom Barrett, who just happens to be the mayor of Milwaukee. Nothing at all.... Responding to Walker&amp;#039;s announcement, Barrett said he was skeptical about the governor&amp;#039;s sincerity about helping Milwaukee and felt the move might be more about Walker trying to win the recall election. In the seven years that Walker was Milwaukee County executive, Barrett said, Walker never showed any interest in creating jobs or promoting economic development in Milwaukee&amp;#039;s central city. And in Walker&amp;#039;s 15 months as governor, not only did he not create jobs in the &amp;quot;most depressed of this community, there were several instances where he actively worked against the city&amp;#039;s interest,&amp;quot; Barrett said. Barrett cited train-maker Talgo Inc., where as many as 35 jobs are expected to be lost at the Milwaukee facility due to a state decision decline federal funding for passenger rail that would have prompted Talgo to build more trains for Wisconsin. The company recently announced a mass layoff, Barrett said. To paraphrase Charles Ludlam in The Big Easy, recall elections are a marvelous environment for coincidence. Also, too, it appears that Chris Christie, the Falstaffian character actor currently assaying the role of governor of New Jersey, will be walking the banks of the shining Menomonee on Walker&amp;#039;s behalf. Lock up the hasenpfeffer, Mother! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
