2009 Population of Madison, Wisconsin 235,000
There were an estimated 30,000 protesters in the city today. 15%. Just saying.

2. I wonder how many have to show up before the MSM covers it?
Apparently there was nothing on the network (ABC, NBC & CBS) "news" shows this evening.

5. I think our corporate media is afraid to cover it
lest it spread across the country. And how embarrassing would that be to our corporate masters if the rest of the world saw the serfs in the U.S. rising up?

6. This is not on a weekend either...
These protests took place at a time when a lot of people were working, if they had occurred on a Saturday they probably would have gotten double the turnout. I bet we will see big things this weekend.

11. It's been BEAUTIFUL!
I think they're calling for maybe some rain tomorrow but temps are 55! Even Mother Nature is on our side!!

The town's gonna shut down pretty soon - no one will be working 'cause we'll all be protesting!!

12. I'm not in Wisconsin but
roads should be fine. Especially on I-90 and the beltway. Most likely all of the roads in Madison should be fine unless they had a very recent snow.
