Root River Siren, a local blogger, has decided to say goodbye. Her farewell letter has a great point.

The Siren Casts A Fond Farewell

Four years ago, when Scott Walker was elected for the first time, the Siren came to ferry Wisconsin progressives through the rough waters of GOP domination. 1,445 posts later, the Siren’s job is complete.

When a college drop-out with 6 friends and staff members found guilty of corruption wins against a Harvard graduate from a proud Wisconsin family with global name recognition - there is simply no amount of snark or cleverness to make sense of this reality.
