He's right. Signs are political speech and the police have no constitutional right to take away signs. Gov. Walker has been over stepping his bounds and has no right to do many of the things that he's been doing against the protesters.

$200 a pop is very costly, I have nothing but admiration for the protesters; good luck with all your endeavors! My thoughts are with the Wisconsin protesters!

"Some judges are worried that the jump in debt-related arrest warrants is creating a modern-day version of debtors' prison. The practice ended in 1833 after decades of controversy, since borrowers owing as little as 60 cents could be held indefinitely in squalid jails until they paid off their debt."

Lawrence O'Donnell has some huevos. He goes after GE which owns MSNBC, whom he works for. Earlier in her career at MSNBC, Rachel Maddow did the same thing, we're told. In both cases it's hard not to be impressed.

The battle to define Charles and David Koch - Kenneth P. Vogel - POLITICO.com
"Virtually unknown as recently as 2009, the Kochs have become political household names, following in the footsteps of other wealthy bankers and industrialists such as the 19th century Robber Barons – the Fricks, Harrimans and Rockefellers – who have been targets of progressives and reformers. But the new prominence of the Kochs is a case study in the kinds of 21st century big-money branding battles that underlie many Washington political and policy fights. It features one side using all the means of modern political communications to put a face on its opponents – and the other side furiously fighting back using its own techniques.
The Kochs – each of whom is worth a reported $21.5 billion as a result of their stakes in Koch Industries, the family owned oil, chemical and consumer products business – have been donating millions of dollars to small-government conservative causes and candidates for decades."

"Video and photos from US Uncut’s 40 nationwide protests are beginning to come in. Perhaps the liveliest chapter is US Uncut DC whose 100+ members shut down a Bank of America branch on Saturday. Reportedly, the bank managers pulled a fire alarm as action began at the protest. This is not the first time the franchise has successfully shut down BoA’s operations."

Republican Party of Wisconsin attacks UW professor's right to speak -- but can't spell his name right
"Why the attack? Because Cronon, the Frederick Jackson Turner and Vilas Research Professor of History, Geography and Environmental Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the Rhodes Scholar and MacArthur Foundation fellow who has for decades been one of Wisconsin's most beloved public intellectuals, dared to raise questions about whether national right-wing think tanks and interest groups might be influencing the choices made by Gov. Scott Walker's administration to attack Wisconsin unions and initiate a power grab that even some Republicans worry will diminish democracy at the local level."

One Down 7 to go - Hopper up for Recall
One Down 7 to go - Hopper up for Recall
"Efforts to recall Republican State Senator Randy Hopper from Fon du Lac have reached another milestone, as organizers issue a call for volunteers to turn in any remaining petitions to be counted. Organizer Scott Dillman says he's sure they have enough signatures to trigger the recall, but he can't give exact figures yet. He says, processing all the information they've collected so far will take a week. They need 15,000 signatures to trigger the recall and he had originally set a goal of 20,000 by April first. He says he should have set that goal higher. Once Dillman tallies and submits his petition, a candidate will have to step up to run against hopper in the recall, which could happen by this summer."

ThinkProgress » Sen. Johnson’s Reaction To General Electric Paying No Taxes: Cut The Corporate Tax Rate
"The New York Times reported today that General Electric’s effective tax rate in 2010 was zero. Despite making $14.2 billion in profits, the company received $3.2 billion in tax benefits. GE is able to drive down its effective tax rate via “an aggressive strategy that mixes fierce lobbying for tax breaks and innovative accounting that enables it to concentrate its profits offshore.”"
