HELENA As promised, Gov. Brian Schweitzer on Wednesday fired up his infamous 'VETO' branding irons on the front steps of the Capitol and put the 'hot iron' to seven GOP-backed bills.
In one of the most spectacular productions of political theater in the Democrat's six years in office, Governor Schweitzer applied red-hot branding irons to wooden plaques representing bills ranging from a measure to repeal the Montana Medical Marijuana Act to a bill that would eliminate same-day voter registration, to one that would allow new open-pit gold and silver mines to ship materials to sites using the cyanide leaching process.

"...UK Uncut is just a pressure group, you see – not Trotskyites, not Marxist-Leninists, not anarcho-syndicalists, not even social democrats – they just want the super-rich to pay their taxes like everyone else; and who, among even the most staunch of Daily Mail readers, could argue with that? Hardline ideologues may think it something of a sell-out to have to ditch the cloak of progressive ideology, to condescend to play by the rules of post-ideological politics and present themselves as just a pressure group, asking sweetly for reform: but at least UK Uncut is playing. More than that, they’re winning."

Hedge Fund Gamblers Earn the Same In One Hour As a Middle-Class Household Makes In Over 47 Years | | AlterNet
How rich are we?
"Just take a look at the latest reports on what the top hedge fund managers haul in. In 2010 John Paulson led the list with a record $4.9 billion in personal earnings. That’s a whopping $2.4 million an HOUR. Here’s a factoid to make you wretch: It would take the median US household over 47 years to earn as much as Paulson pocketed in just 60 minutes. And, every hedge fund manager pays a lower tax rate than the average family."

Poll: Floridians Have Strong Buyers Remorse After Electing GOP Gov. Scott | TPMDC
"Scott's approval rating is so bad that the poll found him losing a hypothetical do-over election to Democrat Alex Sink by a ten-point margin, 41% to 31%.
Previous polls have also found Scott's job approval deep underwater, including a Quinnipiac poll released earlier this month that pegged his approval to disapproval split at 35% to 48%. A March PPP poll showed Scott with an even worse 32%-55% split, and found him losing a do-over election -- by a 20-point margin."

Rep. Cummings, Vermont Governor Shumlin Rip Into Scott Walker At Hearing
tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com
Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, on Capitol Hill for a hearing held by the House Oversight Committee on state budgets, had yet to even speak before Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) ripped into the Republican leader's anti-union record.
"I strongly oppose efforts to falsely blame middle-class American workers for these current economic problems," Cummings, the ranking Democrat on the committee, said in his opening statement. "This recession was not caused by them. Working America - fire fighters, teachers and nurses - are not responsible for the reckless actions of Wall Street, which led to this crisis in the first place."
