Scott Walker: Man of the People...For One Day....Kind Of.

So.  Scott Walker.  We need to have a little chat.  Come here.  *Quietly whispering*  Dude, Labor Day is around because of unions.  I don't know if you want to really tweet out Happy Labor Day because, you know, you hate unions. *Walks away*

Happy Labor Day!

Not only did I link his tweet, but I want everyone who reads this to read the replies.  Click on the time and date link to see the replies.  Most people that read that tweet understand the irony as they should.  I don't know if he fully understands what Labor Day is all about.  I know that now it's all about summer ending, one last barbecue,  and another sale on furniture.  My favorites were just the ones that said 'fuck you' or something along those lines.

How does he think that was a good idea?  Does he not understand what or where this holiday comes from?   Did he just give the responsibility to some little intern and they thought that it would be a fun little game to play?  I don't know.  I think that with holidays like this one or Memorial Day were established so long ago that people forget why they are around.  They forget that while these holidays do mark the beginning and end of summer, there is a history to them.  And if you are going to be a public figure and do things like break unions, you should probably just stay away from holidays like Labor Day.

Scott Walker isn't an idiot just because of this tweet.  He is an idiot in general.
