DEMOCRATS ON THE RUN. First they left Wisconsin in order to prevent a state senate vote by denying a quorum. They were found in Rockford, IL; now they’re leaving for ”undisclosed locations.” Guess where they were staying in Rockford.

Hypocrisy, thy name is ... well, you get the idea.

THE WISCONSIN PROTESTS: “I’m interested in seeing who shows up Saturday to protest -- to see if the protestors are willing to protest on personal, unpaid time.” -- Marty H.

PUBLIC SECTOR UNION PROTEST IN WISCONSIN. Madison schools close for the day to allow teachers to protest Gov. Scott Walker’s union-busting budget plan. Then there’s this.


An Instapundit reader comments: “What do you think would happen if a student in a public school called the principal a dictator and put crosshairs on his face?”

And save a bundle of bucks, too.

THE RUSSIAN SPACE AGENCY suggested Monday that a foreign power may have been behind the space accident that disabled one of the country's most modern military satellites earlier this month.

Stuxnet, anyone?

MORE RACISM from the Left.

Anyone who doesn't understand that the progressive left is, at its core, racist is a dunce.

[Update] Violently racist.
