on name-calling
Daniel: Susan (he doesn't call me "mom" anymore) is the governor real?
Me: Yes, he is very real. He is a real person, though, so we shouldn't call him names, but he's trying to do some very bad things in our state of Wisconsin.
Daniel: I know what we should call him - Bad Governor!
Me: That seems appropriate enough.
Daniel: Yeah, he's a bad governor. That's why thousands and thousands of people are trying to stop him. Because if he gets what he wants, then people who get sick won't be able to pay the doctor and they'll die!
True enough. We shall be attending demonstrations at the Koch brothers' brand new lobbying office in downtown Madison this afternoon at 4:00. Join us if you can. I'll post more about all of this later, with cute kid pictures no less! So be sure to check in.

I heard that it's organized by the Sow's Ear, but I don't know if that's true or not.
