The Tilted Kilt: A Haven in Illinois for the Wisconsin Dems
The surviving Democrats in the Wisconsin Senate have reportedly fled to Illinois en masse in order to deny the Senate a quorum and the capacity to do business – this in support of protecting members of the public-sector unions from having to contribute 6% of their salaries to their pension plan and 13% to their healthcare plan.
So where are these Solons holed up? Apparently, at the Clocktower Resort in Rockford, Illinois with its well-known dining establishment the Tilted Kilt – where ladies like the one pictured above preside.
Here is how the place represents itself: “We may be your hometown Kilt location, but we’ve got all the charm of a quaint little pub in Scotland and all the energy of a raucous party in Illinois. Whatever you want your Tilted Kilt experience to be, there are a few things you can always count on: ice cold beer and plenty of it, a mouthwatering menu full of the pub fare you love, a festive atmosphere full of fun and friends, and, last but not least…beautiful women eager to put a smile on your face and make you feel right at home.”
The Republicans in Wisconsin are going to have a field day.

Re: The Tilted Kilt: A Haven in Illinois for the Wisconsin Dems
Maybe so, but the Dems appear to be having a field day now. Hubba-hubba. That's better than the Hooters outfit.
If it ain't Scottish, it's crrrap.

I've been to the Clocktower a bunch of times actually. Never seen that place, or those girls. It's also not really a resort, its a hotel where there are conventions sometimes. Rockford is great for a breakfast place called The Machine Shed. It's the best southern breakfast in the North.

Reminds me of that great Evelyn Waugh story:
A fellow former classmate once criticized him:
What did you ever do for Oxford?
I drank for it.

As a person of somewhat Scottish ancestry, I will regard any negative remarks as hate speech and will report them to the appropriate agencies.

"Sweetheart, are you a Republican or a Democrat?"
"Democrat"
"Wow. Really? Me too!"
Under certain circumstances, principles are mere encumbrances...

Like I've always said: being a cowardly, thieving, progressive must have some upside.
