Several Philly tourists not amused with Scott Walker crashing their lunch. Overheard: “Stand in line with the rest of us.” “Who is that?” — Jenna Johnson (@wpjenna) July 28, 2015 This is silly but sometimes you just gotta stop, smell the roses, and indulge in some mockery of Scott Walker’s cheesesteak choices.

Trump nails Walker on crumbling roads, deficit, underfunded education, Common Core flip-flops
Times are strange when you’re pleased to hear from Donald Trump, eh? What’s really wild is not only do I enjoy hearing Trump slam Walker, I have to admit that Trump is essentially telling the truth about the state of affairs in Wisconsin and about Walker’s flip-flops on Common Core.

One of the shady recipients of Walker’s WEDC welfare faces criminal investigation (finally)

Guy Files: Street Style Rocks at New York Fashion Week: Men’s
ALIVE Photographer David Vassalli was on the scene all last week at New York Fashion Week Men’s capturing the shows, the parties, and one of the most impressive street style showings we have seen as of late.
