Scotty Goes A-Begging-O

Wisconsin elected Scott Walker governor during an episode of political opacity, and now Wisconsin regrets it. Help Wisconsin restore its reputation for good sense by greeting our peripatetic Union-Buster-In-Chief when he comes to your state to raise cash for his shameless attempt to fight his recall. On November 15 Walker flies to Wichita to kiss the ring (is ring-shaped? can be worn over a finger?) of the Koch brother who stayed in Kansas. Occupy Wichita promises to show him that old-fashioned Kansas hospitality. Kansas was once the polestar of native American radicalism; the Little Blue Books that schooled a couple of generations in home truths about the way the world works were published in Girard - just 137 miles distant. It's 70 miles from Ponca City; I should know because the Bad Boys of my youth drove to Wichita to tank up on the hard stuff that was harder to find in dry Oklahoma. Getting to Wichita to say Hi to Governor Walker is easy. Stand-up comedy is hard.
