And Genghis wants you to know, he's on your side...(I'm his developmentally challenged, half-brother, they keep me locked up in the basement, but I can read his mind anyway...even with that silly tinfoil hat he's always putting on to keep me out of his head)

Thanks for sharing your

Ironic is it not?

I mean Minnesota produces Al & Amy and that balloon headed Bachman.

We have offered to the world Hubert Humphrey and Gene McCarthy and Donald Frazier but decide to send up that prick Pawlenty as our rep in the repub primaries!

Wisconsin has delivered full fledged satans like Joe McCarthy and wonderful sane politicians of the caliber of Feingold and Proxmire and Dave Obey.

I watched some repub prick interviewed on cable stating that the union protesters right behind him were lazy no good freeloaders and that all of his backers were hard at work and could not take the time to show up to counter the protests. Ha!!

I am proud of the protests brought by the unions in Wisconsin.

Do we really wish to live in a country where unions have no power at all; no rights as far as collective bargaining?

Personally I feel that salaries and benefits of public workers must be trimmed during harsh economic times.

But not without the rich and the corporations ceding some monies and power at the same time.

I sure hope it works. And by working I mean destroying the repub government in 2012!

WORKERS OF THE WORLD,

Thanks, quinn. The degree of respect and admiration I have for your depth of commitment to truly Progressive ideals - as witnessed in your writing and discussions here and at TPM - make your words of encouragement that much more... ummmm... ENCOURAGING!

It's starting to look like a great time to be alive. Hopefully we can sustain the fight. Meanwhile, I greatly appreciate everyone else who has chosen to get involved. Thanks, Brother Quinn! And Keep the Faith!

Solidarity!

Go Sleepin'! Go Badgers! Go

Go Sleepin'! Go Badgers! Go Wisconsin!

It's a great thing, Sleepin'. And I think it really has been some voltage through people living elsewhere. It's very quickly becoming the symbolic battleground.

But it's far from over, I suspect. Make sure people understand they're gonna have to battle this one all the way through to the finishing line. I hope Americans understand they're going to need to support Wisconsin if this insanity is to be turned back.

No defeat, no surrender brother.
