1. the advantage of being sick

is that I've spent a lot of time watching our legislature in session.

When you're actually in the Capitol, there are three tv's on the third level of the rotunda, and the audio is piped in through little speakers, but of course, it's impossible to hear anything over the chanting, drums, cowbells, etc. You pretty much give up on that and join in the chanting, drumming and belling!

I think most Wisconsin women have fallen in love with Peter Barca now, and the first violence that finally breaks out among the protesters will be the women fighting over him.

2. Why would anyone expect to bargain with these people?

3. Hear, hear!

There is no compromise in their world. NONE! Why do we keep trying?

A lot of Stupid Old White Boys, it seems :rofl:

5. Stealthy Vote Broke 'Open Meetings' Law

"Budget bill foes say stealthy vote broke open meetings law; challenges coming"

Shortly after Senate Republicans' surprise vote Wednesday to eliminate most collective bargaining rights for most public employees, protesters started collecting signatures from citizens in preparation for filing an open meetings complaint.

It is not yet clear where these complaints will be filed, but former Attorney General Peg Lautenschlager said they can be filed with either the Dane County District Attorney's Office or the Attorney General's Office. But, she added: "Frankly I don't know how either of those men would need a complaint to file an action in this. It's clear that the conference committee's meeting on its face violated Wisconsin's open meetings law."

Assembly Minority Leader Peter Barca, D-Kenosha, said at a news conference after the Senate vote that he had received notice of the conference committee meeting in an e-mail at 4:09 p.m. The meeting was at 6 p.m.

"I honestly do not believe this action will stand. We will seek every recourse available. Clearly what they did was improper and illegal," Barca said.
