Have you been following the coverage in Wisconsin? Really, I have no chance to watch news any more - it's really hard to hear over the wailing for Hand*y M*ann*y... so I'm reduced to face*B^k and T*witt*r.
So the best tweets I've seen:
"Let's just all give the nation's wealth to 1 old Republican white guy named Steve & stop pretending"
"CONFIRMED: Further violence in WI Capitol. A woman just entered hallway, unsolicited, and gave us all homemade cookies"
"HS Student responded: 'you're wrong. I am learning a lot here. I am learning about democracy'"
"Teachers of Wisconsin: Please being your red pens tomorrow to correct the Tea Partiers' signs"
***updated****8pmPST
"They underestimate a protest by people who are used to standing on their feet all day" (and I would also add... no bathroom breaks!)
"We're getting called a lot of names. Good thing educators taught us to ignore bullies."
And this one... while not the funniest, does really point out a decided a lack of thinking on the part of many people:
"Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist."
Because you better believe that once this chip falls, the rest will come crashing down. The talking heads can scream all they want, but all the vitriol in the world won't get you a job to put food on the table and a roof overhead at the same time.
