First of all, the good news: the vote on Walker’s new ‘budget’ that strips public employees of their hard-fought union rights has been delayed until at least Tuesday in the Assembly; no word on when it will go to the Senate, or when the Democratic Senators, who fled the state for our own good (literally), will return or take up the matter.

Walker, who is contending for the title of World’s Biggest Jerk this week, has been getting snippy and petulant over the whole ‘democracy’ thing.

So for now, things are looking up.

Tomorrow’s continuation of the rally downtown is expected to generate a counter-rally by Walker supporters, aka the Tea Party, which should be hilarious beyond words so I definitely plan to make an appearance and get video and pictures.

Who wants to bet they bring racist signs?

Also, the movement to recall Walker and his anti-union friends in the State Senate is proceeding apace. Here are details on who is eligible for a recall now, when Walker is eligible (next January sadly), and here’s a pledge to recall Walker if he succeeds in this little plot of his that you can sign.

In the meantime, here are four videos I shot the other day that I got uploaded to Youtube. Enjoy!
