In order to force the absence of a “quorum,” and thus delay an inevitable Republican victory, senate Democrats have fled Wisconsin, holding their votes hostage “Dog Day Afternoon” style in motels across Illinois. In the mean-time union members, government employees, and teachers—some with students in tow—have been playing hooky to mau-mau the remaining members of the state senate.

Enter Monday's lead editorial in the Washington Post. Choosing the side of moderate reform rather than rabid collectivism, the Post cautioned that “abolishing contract negotiations between unions and management is not necessarily a panacea for state and local governments - or a nightmare for their workers.” We agree. In fact, the Alliance for Worker Freedom is so honored to share this position with the esteemed newspaper that we couldn’t help but notice all of our other ideological overlaps; AWF hopes that, when the next divisive political issue rolls along, the Washington Post will be a bit faster in jumping on the wagon.

Someone must have forgotten to watch the Editorial page writing, don't hold out any hopes for continuing sanity.

Take this article and others I found to the fight to the Libs on their own turf; put the Left on the defensive at at Digg and at Reddit and in Delicious and Stumbleupon

It has now become a matter of the unions against the rest of America.

What is happening in WI may just be a blessing in disguise by showing the public how divided we are as a nation and how one group has acquired priviliges at the expense of another.
