Roman soldiers have finally routed a ragtag army of rebel slaves led by Kirk Douglas' title character.

The operatives, who raised their concerns out of hope it would jar the GOP into assertiveness, argue complacency has taken over after Governor Scott Walker successfully shepherded his anti-collective bargaining bill into law. While the Wisconsin Democratic Party, with major assists from progressive groups and unions, has harnessed resentment towards the governor into a full-throttled effort to recall eight GOP Senators, neither the enthusiasm nor organizational acumen exists on the Republican side of the aisle(...)

And if we don't do it now, we will never get another chance.

I don't need a spoon to gage on that one.
