Everyone knows Scott Walker [**is mentally ill**](https://ca.news.yahoo.com/wisconsin-governor-calls-building-northern-wall-along-canadian-141608786.html). So why don’t his handlers commit him? He must have paid off all the psyche nurses in Wisconsin. ---

He forgot all about the border between Alaska and Canada. ---

Well, a wall along the border with Canada would’ve saved a lot of trouble during Prohibition. What we actually need is an EMF blockade to keep out certain Canadian popular music. ---

This does nothing to dispel my notion that Republicans are fucking morons. In the Illinois waterway, south of Chicago, there are a few places that have electrification of the channel. This is to help prevent asian carp, an invasive species, from reaching Lake Michigan. Maybe this technology can be utilized as an extension of the wall through the Great Lakes. Gov. Walker, Stupid Fuck. Republican leader. ---

Yeah, you guys scoff, but certain highly-placed officials, who I’d like to name but can’t for security reasons, indicate that ISIS has a top-secret plan to equip herds of moose with explosive vests and drive them across the border. Hence the urgency. ---

Wouldn’t it be cheaper and easier to build a wall around Wisconsin to keep him in? ---
