back to business in WI
At least, as much as it can be.
Protests continue, but much less than before. And the Senate and Assembly are both in session, although the "Feisty Fourteen" have not yet returned from Illinois. It's a shame.
And the rain has finally stopped here in San Diego - back to clear blue skies and sun. Too bad I have class tonight.
I enjoyed this article by George Will - seems to be a pretty civil argument.

snow heading toward Madison
I'm wondering if the snow storm that is now forecast for Madison and much of the rest of the state will start to dial things back a bit in the WI capital. Guess we'll find out.
On a side note, I did say a prayer for safety for my brother, who is working as a law enforcement officer today at one of the entrances to the capital building.
Here's another great read on this whole issue:

I'm interested to see how the reactions will be now that there will be supporters as well as protesters on each side. The national news coverage continues to increase...I'm even getting a healthy dose of it over here.
Do I really have to finish a book, read, and write a paper this weekend? (sigh)

Craziness in WI day 2
Well, it looks like the Milwaukee Public Schools have also decided to close today due to teachers calling in 'sick'.
Not sure how this is all going to end up, but I agree with some that those who may be losing out the most with this whole thing are the students (yes, yes, I know, they get days off and who wouldn't like that, but that's not really the point).
This particular op-ed piece was shared this morning, and I think it does a great job of articulating some of these thoughts. Please take a gander if you have a minute or two:
