Marquette Magazine Winter 2011

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

(And I'm not starting another thread to fire everyone up and get it locked.)

I'm only a few months behind, but I just finished reading the Winter 2011 Marquette Magazine and Chicos is correct, as our very own alumni magazine calls Scott Walker an alumnus.

And it looks like my memory was not so fuzzy after all either as it said he left Marquette in May 1990 not after fall semester as someone else previously mentioned.  (It says he began in August 1986).

Out.

Did he attend a class?

Then he's an alumnus, and doing well.

[jtrash37]

Alumnus?  Yep. 

Graduate?  Nope.

As to his political undoing at MU?  That is another story altogether!

Did Prosser win?

Dont hold it against MU that Walker attended some classes but couldnt graduate.

He CHOSE to leave.  He has one semester to go.  I don't hold it against either of them.  A student has to put the commitment into finishing, he didn't.  Now he's Governor of one of the 50 (57 according to some) states in the union.

Kudos to him.

And keeping this as a basketball thread, Walker has cajones the size of basketballs, taking on the union thugs.

Exercising great skill and a feat of strength by bouncing the duo made of brass

+1 he has the potential to be the best thing to happen to Wisconsin politics in a generation.

It will be interesting to see how things unfold.

What is it about you clowns that don't understand about no politics? Weird people on side of aisle always seem to be the ones throwing comments like the ones above.  Hope you feel awesome about yourselves gents.

Legislatively he's been awesome. He's had a few bad hires in his administration. Thats how you ruin your brand.

strange definition of awesome legislation. lets see what happens in january

Clearly, thats an opinion. If you're a liberal, you probably aren't in favor. if you're conservative, you voted him to do this and therefore you think, legislatively, its a good thing. My definition of awesome, is fiscal restraint and responsibility where public employees don't get to mooch completely off tax payers.

honestly, thanks for a civil response. i associate myself with neither party, and i agree and disagree with various walker policies. i understand his goal and support the end, i just don't completely support the means.

ah ha
Chicos you beat me to it

[MUBurrow]

electing supreme court justices is stupid. arguing about politics on scoop is stupid. everything is stupid.

Governor Walker rings Coach McGuire's axiom loud and true: "The world is run by C students."

Governor Walker rings Coach McGuire's axiom loud and true: "The world is run by C students college dropouts."

Fixed.

Look at how much "good" the A students have done over the years in politics, Wall Street, etc.

Did you mean to put this in teal?

Please explain....is this related to little black boxes from Diebold?   

The JS, hardly the bastion of conservatism, disagrees with you.

Didn't the election monitor, the Democrat, say everything was on the UP AND UP (until a week later when the Dems got to her and now she's "confused"...nothing like beating up on old ladies...good one).  Also note that those were votes announced by the AP, not


The original results showed ZERO (that's 0, as in less than 1) vote for the town of Brookfield.  I think we all know that more than ZERO voted in the town of Brookfield.  They simply didn't put in the votes for that town, when they did....game over.

I find it ironic someone would say election fraud on this when the very side claiming this has done things like vote MULTIPLE times in an election because the registration laws there are such a joke  http://www.jsonline.com/news/statepolitics/29543514.html , slashing tires of GOTV efforts (from our own MU alum Rep Moore's son leading the slashing)  http://www.wisn.com/r/4113353/detail.html, paying the homeless off to vote with cigarettes (illegal as hell) http://www.cnsnews.com/node/26533, and on and on.

I find it ironic as hell that one side wanted a concession speech after leading by just 218 votes, but now that same side doesn't want to concede after trailing by more than 7,000.  Hypocrisy know thy name.

It was done to get a rile out of you.

And you took the bait, predictably.

If you mean they steered the car away from the cliff instead of off it, then I can see what you mean.

sigh.
