1. No, the Lamestream media had Wisconsin ....

... running right after "water is wet" and "Micheal Jackson is still dead".

[MineralMan]

2. It's pretty important news, actually.

I don't see any way that it wouldn't be today's top story. Do you?

3. As it should. The lives of tens or hundreds of thousands of people are more important than anyone's

4. The fundies will say, " The protesting slobs in WI made Gawd mad."

5. This will go on for another week at least too. Then there will be the

For the rest, well it gives then a chance to try to talk of things they don't have a clue... but they have not covered WI that well to begin with

7. We're looking at a major disaster

a major world event.
