Charlie Sykes Day

By Jeff Simpson


While our state is in a major economic freefall, Scott Walker spent today doing what he is best at.  Ignoring the problems he has created and pandering to his base.   Hence he declared today in Wisconsin, flag day of all days,Charlie Sykes Day

 Gov. Scott Walker apparently "ambushed" conservative talker Charlie Sykes in his radio studio this morning to announce that today, June 14, 2013, the 20th anniversary of Sykes' radio career, marks the first "Charlie Sykes Day" in Wisconsin. Walker, a regular guest on the show, falls into such casual banter with Walker that Sykes' producer has to remind him to introduce the surprise guest as the state's governor. The former Milwaukee County executive says he and Sykes have followed a "parallel track" in the past two decades, beginning with Walker's election to the state Legislature


That is our Governor, using his taxpayer funded $144,423/yearly salary + cadillac benefits to really do the people's work!

However, its Friday so let's not be cynical.  For all of you middle aged, white,  thrice married, racist, ratings losing, libelous, right wing talk show hosts out there - this day is for YOU!

Time to grab some Illinois Cream Puffs and celebrate with all of your friends!

  1. Charlie Sykes Day - To be celebrated by all Wisconsin men cheating on their wives and telling outrageous lies to anyone who will listen?

    1. You make Robin Vos jealous because he is every bit as qualified.

  2. For Charlie, it was bittersweet, he's still hasn't ever gotten that Pulitzer Prize he dreams of.

    1. That's so tragic, because they give Pulitzers to damn near anyone, even plagiarists and fantasists. As an example of the latter category, Thomas Friedman has three.
