Here in Wisconsin it’s day 14 of the protests at the Capitol. Half the time I feel like this is too big to be ignored – there were probably 100,000 of us yesterday, marching in the snow – to my eyes, absolutely more than last week’s 70,000. But on the Sunday talk shows, Gov. Weasel Walker said
Last week, I was thinking that the stuff I was reading in the straight press was starting to sound like the Onion. But today, there’s a NYT Op Ed by Frank Rich, that lays out the Republican conspiracy in no uncertain terms. It is so NOT about the money – or at least it not about the negligible amount of money that would be saved with Walker’s so-called budget repair bill. This whole thing is about making the rich richer, and deregulating and privatizing everything.
I have to believe it has to be at least in part because so much of this is getting outed on facebook – there were only about 12 of us in the whole country who read the article in the New Yorker about the Koch brothers – probably I should post it to my profile, right now.
