9. They ought to protest in front of the guvna's house.
What is this fascination with empty capital buildings?

17. Good. Wonder if the others are being cleaned
or it's a strategy to make folks uncomfortable?

15. Funny, I thought they wanted the building clean!

19. I'd designate the hall where Walker's offices are as the restroom
And maybe the hall where the Republican legislators' offices are, too, if need be.

Locking the restrooms is a really childish thing for the government to do as long as there are people in the building.

25. From a purely practical standpoint: It would be counterproductive. When you gotta go, you gotta go.
Edited on Sun Feb-27-11 07:19 PM by Buns_of_Fire
And when you REALLY gotta go -- and I mean when you've reached the OhMyGodICan'tHoldItAnymore-level -- you'll go ANYWHERE.

Personally, and in all humility, I suggest they open up the governor's office as an alternate... uh, venue -- until the capitol staff has completed whatever they need to do in the People's Potties.

18. Great comments at #wiunion on twitter
@jennnnie: Why is a 3% tax increase on the richest considered "socialism" but a 14% pay cut on the middle class is "doing your part?"
