Who says there’s no such thing as a free lunch? We’re still working out the particulars of the irony, but the Wisconsin chapter of the Tea Party umbrella group Americans for Prosperity is hosting a free lunch with Assembly Speaker Robin Vos on Friday in Racine. “We encourage you to come prepared with questions,” the invite says. “Please join us for a … discussion on important issue facing Wisconsin families.” The rabble will break bread with Robin at the location where, as Charcoal Grill promises, “you’ll be greeted by a building whose exterior resembles an old Spanish mission.”
