Note: as of this post, the rally is continuing. Lots of police presence as Walker makes his budget speech at 4PM. Limited access to inside the Capitol.

1. Thanks for the update
I love the inflatable corporate fat cat with the Koch logo who is choking the worker.

7. I recommended it. It's not that DUers are tired of the story, the servers for DU went whacko
yesterday.
Skinner has a thread on the Grestest Page talking about it.

I support your efforts, those are really great pictures.
And I support ALL of the people in Ohio, even the ones who are not in a union.

I also want to take the time to say that I think that you are one of the people that posts here fairly often that makes DU the great forum that it is.
Please don't get discouraged, some people weren't able to get here yesterday to see your thread because of the DNS server problem.
Bad timing, I admit, a lot of people thought that DU had been hacked.
But, we support you, our fellow Ohioans, and appreciate all that you do.

Luv much,
Major Hogwash

12. I don't know. Very odd. Maybe its just that there is so much going on.
I am going to give you another kick though. These fine people deserve it!

5. 2 measily recs to make it searchable on Google
That's all I ask... :hi:

Next time there's a rally in your town that puts into motion whether we have a decent working class or not in the US for a few generations, I definitely give you a rec.

8. And a kick for the evening crowd.

Well, they'd laugh if Robin Williams said it!

LoL

6. K&R for Solidarity
Did you see those rabble rousers, commie pinkos? :sarcasm:

Big love to each of them.

9. 1 of the Wisconsin GOP Senators called these people "slobs" on Lawrence O'Donnell's show last night
He said they "were stinking up the capitol building" and "defacing the capitol".

I didn't catch his name, but he was a real smarmy asshole.

10. I saw that too.
He is a smarmy sob. He's been on the teevee for a few days now, makes me sick.
