As
DHinMI notes on the main page, the Rethugs are at it again.
Ram legislation through the front door like a bunch of Gangsta's crashing a club. The (un)Patriot(ic) Act, Medicare 'reform', The Hooter & Poluters bill: these criminals hold the very thought of conversing, of cooperating, of following legislative proceedure, in contempt. The local alternative paper here in Milwaukee reports that state Republicans are using similar tactics to change the election of the LT. Gov. here (no link, sorry).
Sadly, the Democratic leadership act like underpaid rent-a-cops, unwilling to muss their silly little uniforms.
