Sweet dreams to anyone who’s still up, and good morning to those who are just joining us.

That’s a very catchy tune, and you can

Tennessee is facing a similar action, the legislature wants to deny teachers the right to collectively bargain. There’s a rally in Nashville to support teachers on March 5 from noon to 3.
In other news, a conservative blogger went to Madison and recorded these pictures of left-wing “hate speech.” It’s kinda funny. Makes you wonder …. apparently “don’t f— with Wisconsin” is hate speech.
Poor dears. The comments are pretty funny too … seems even the bloggers’ readers don’t see anything wrong with the signs.

I think the next ‘victim’ of the Arab Revolutions will be Gaddafi.

To whoever linked to tsundere in EE Kain’s thread, this TV Tropes site has eaten two hours at least of my life and I hate you. But Rand and Elayne under Strangled by the Red String was genius.

It’s surprising and ironic how relevant Josef Stalin becomes when viewed through the prism of Republicanism.

@Southern Beale: Look at his pictures on the right. The site owners pictures can be viewed by some as offensive. lol

i was sitting in keefer’s, a chicago steakhouse, with a bunch of friends celebrating my wife’s birthday last night, and who should sit down at the table next to us?
andrew breitbart! fresh from madison. he was greeted by the serious young conservatives at that table as a conquering hero.
we had a good time anyway.

I remember when you self-proclaimed geniuses thought that someone supporting a cause that works against their own interests was a sign of mental illness or gross stupidity.
As you swell in support of failshit public employees striking against YOU (and The Children!) so you’ll pay money you don’t have for their corruptly-bargained benefits… well, how’s that irony taste?

@Bender: That’s the best you got? Man, take your talking points and shove them up your ass.

@mellowjohn: i am not sure I could have sat there with that Tool….he struck me as Rush Street diner sort of guy

@4jkb4ia: Hehe, TVtropes is a very, very dangerous site in that way. Sucks you in something fierce … ;)

eric…
his “celebrity” status probably couldn’t get him automatic entrance into gibson’s.
btw, he seems like one of those extremely self-important people who strut even when they’re sitting down.

The Internationale? Are you trying to chase Kain away again? And those aren’t even the original words.
madison socialist
“Don’t cling so hard to your possessions”?? Billy Bragg should be shot for what he did to the Internationale. Granted, the English version of the Internationale is a little dated, but the American version is solid. No need for this moralistic trash! :-)

@Bender: When you idiots succeed in getting government pay restricted to only minimum wage, not only will our govt not function, but the private sector will be more than happy to lower the rest of our wages since there will be that much less competition for labor. So yeah, paying a tiny bit extra in taxes is well worth it, dunce.

NYT:
“Television replays appeared to show that Hardy, who led St. John’s with 19 points, stepped out of bounds before making his underhanded shot.”

And West Virginia smoked Notre Dame. Feh.

@Southern Beale: Do you have any other details about the rally in Nashville, such as location or contact info? I’d like to add it to the list I am updating at my blog.

I have a hunch that the MN one will be canceled. We’re supposed to get over a foot of snow today and tomorrow.
