I'm not often speechless.
Most of the time I don't shut up but I don't have any words. I'm shocked.
Ok. Before I choke on my own inability to speak. I should probably let you know why I'm so flabbergasted.

Couple that with the fact that I have family members who live and work for the state of Wisconsin and you can see why I've kept my mouth shut about the conflict. To be honest, I think both sides have made this mess worse than it needed to be and although I certainly side more heavily with one group, I do understand the passion that both sides have.
None of that really matters though when it comes to my utter disbelief. You see, an acquaintance from college just posted on facebook. Here's what he wrote:
