Call it a bad feeling
but the wifi blocks, and now what looks like a denial of service attack on opposition websites, and the yet to be determined role of the NG... gives me a tummy ache. So far this has been very peaceful We all know that. The baggers on Saturday did not get even a peep from the locals and were expecting them "union thugs" to attack them. Well what do you do when your expected story line is going down the Gandhi Route? I had to go to Target to pick up a new set of headphones for hubby, since conure bit the cable, and the really bad feeling of other shoe and dropping over came me at a red light.

It is just the nature of the beast, and Walker has been even noisier about bad consequences and scary talk. The NG is now visiting prison faciliteis... could he be getting not for a union walk out (general strike and all) but for a PATCO move and just fire them? And getting the wifi off, and sites attacked. could that be preparation for "clearing the grounds" from the rabble?

At this point it is just a bad feeling... and for the love of god I hope it just stays at a bad feeling stage while at a red light...

1. How can internet access be blocked in the US?
Is that not a violation of free speech?

5. I would think so. There should be something about hostile takeover of Government. That is what is
happening. And in fact, it is treasonous just knowing that the connections these people have is tied so heavily to international investments.
I cannot believe Obama is totally dead silent on all of this and doesn't do an executive order of some type.

13. I thought they turned off wifi at the capitol... That is easy enough.
That wouldn't preclude anyone from having cellular internet access. :shrug:

9. I know what you are feeling...
at this point, if it gets serious with the NG we will have to hope that the soldiers will follow Egypt's lead and not Libya's. Either way, I think if the guard is called in it will be the turning point for the nation. Let's hope it will be without bloodshed and that it will turn in the right direction.

12. You know how long it has been since we've had a true "slow news day?"
I could use one about now.... Geebus, it has been such a worldwide rollercoaster ride the past many weeks. Even though the media likes to go home and shut down on the weekends, big newsworthy events keep moving 24/7.

Marathon, folks, marathon....Keep the faith that truth and justice will win out.
