| Breaking: Wisconsin Readies to Clear Capitol of Protesters |
| 2011-02-27 |
| The Department of Administration said the Capitol is in bad need of cleaning after 13 days of 24-hour occupation. Protesters have not trashed the building, but it has taken on the funky locker room aroma of body odor, sweaty feet and deodorant. |

| #3 The protesters have cleaned up quite a bit since Friday (probably because it looked bad on national TV). The head of the Capitol Police just came out and said that they can stay again tonight - Channel 3 WISC - Madison Not great, but it keeps the more violent and leftist folks (this IS Madison - 90 square miles surrounded by reality; where common sense goes to die) at bay, especially with all the cameras around. |

| #2 Jerry Pournelle: The rule of law requires that everyone is subject to the law; and orderly government requires that everyone of whatever political persuasion submits to the orderly transfer of government. In the United States that premise is being reexamined: election results aren't important. What's important is that money be paid to state employees, and anything that gets in the way needs to be shouted down. Camp out in the Capitol if need be, but never allow the budget to be balanced on the backs of the union workers. |
