Yes, This Is What I Do On Break.

Demonstrating that there ARE Democrats out there who are in fact pretty cool, the mayor of Milwaukee, Tom Barrett, proved himself to be cool under pressure, and pretty damn tough the other day.

Strike that. That fool is HARDCORE.

So, he's at the Wisconsin State Fair the other day, when he hears this old lady screaming for help.

So, he goes to help - already ahead of most politicians regardless of party, IMO.

He gets there and finds a 20-year-old man trying to attack a grandmother and her 1-year-old grandchild. (Mayor Barrett is 55, by the way.)

He tries to intervene, to defuse the situation, and the attacker responds by hitting Mayor Barrett in the head with a pipe.

Now this is enough to down most people in one shot, and certainly ruin your dasy, but it didn't stop Mayor Barrett, who oughta be wearing some kind of a big red S on some prominent part of his anatomy.

Mayor Barrett did in fact defuse the situation.

He did so by knocking the kid's dick in the dirt - hit him so hard that he sprung his knuckles on the kid's melon.

The cops were overjoyed to have an unconscious suspect to take into custody.

Mayor Barrett and everyone else who got pipe-jacked are recovering nicely, thank you.

Milwaukee, whatever else people may say about you, you sure as hell don't elect candy-asses, do you?
