Wisconsin GOP declares war on USA workers

WI Republicans ram through union-busting legislation 18-1 without a quorum

With this evening's bumrush of civic workers in Wisconsin, USA, far-right Republicans have lit a fuse and thrown it into the streets. Let's all pray the protests stay focused on non-violence and civil disobedience, as that is the way to achieve lasting progress.

Considering today's so-called "atomic bomb" of deception and skulduggery, it will entirely be in the hands of the Grand Old Party should a few windows get broken tonight. Here's hoping pray nobody gets hurt.

Madison, Wisconsin as Tunis, USA-style

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker may face ethics charges

The hilariously revealing Walker tapes are a tragicomedy representing the beginning of the end for the Wisconsin Governor. Having revelations of vested interests is one thing, but plotting to endanger the lives of protesters including women and children is something that citizens are not likely to stomach well.

Wisconsin has strong ethics laws, and they may soon find a time and place to enforce them, if recent CNN reports are any indication.

The now infamous Scott Walker tapes, recorded by a journalist from Buffalo Beast (which bills itself as America's Best Fiend), pretending to be one of the Koch brothers on a telephone call with the governor, are just another Alice in Wonderland peephole into a world likely to be blown open by the reportedly imminent release of wikileaks files relating to US banking and corporate scandals.

Tip to USA protesters, seriously: Get your health care this time!
