I don't get this "negotiate" shit. You don't negotiate with the losing side, except as to the terms of surrender. And that's if you're feeling particularly merciful.
Really. The unions are starting to sound like the Black Knight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
What, exactly, is the point of "negotiating" when the person you're negotiating with has nothing to offer and completely opposes your plan? Democrats didn't negotiate with Republicans about ObamaCare. They didn't need to, because they had the votes to pass it without Republican support. That's how it goes.
The Democrats can't stay in Illinois forever. Heck, they'll need to come home by this November just to qualify for the 2012 elections.
These Educators need to re-read O'Henry's Ransom of Red Chief. The more they negotiate for extortion level benefits from Walker, the more they will lose before Walker finishes skinning them.
Scott Walker: As the duly elected Governor of Wisconsin I command you to give up collecting bargaining!
Black Knight: Have at you! (mumbling some half-forgotten Woodie Guthrie labor anthem) Charge!
The Black Knight charges past Scott Walker, who slices off his remaining arm
Scott Walker: Thank you, oh Lord, that you have vouchsafed unto us...
Black Knight kicks Walker in the head
BK: Have at you!
SW: What are you doing? You've got no arms left.
BK: Of course I do. I'm a tenured Wisconsin public school teacher. I can count. One , two, five, er, I mean three! See? Plenty of arms left. Have at you!
SW: I'm warning you...
BK: The Public Employees' Union is invincible!
SW: Right.
Scott walker lops off the Black Knight's right leg
BK: Just a flesh wound. Have at you!
SW: What are you going to do? Run to Illinois?
Scott Walker lops off the Black Knight's remaining leg
BK: Tell you what, we'll call it a draw.
Scott Walker canters away to his next political battle
She can't see the way ahead because she has NEGOTIATE written all over her glasses. I hope she trips over someone's discarded Walker=Hitler sign. Wouldn't that be rich with metaphor and irony?

Cool! You could wear those everywhere. It's a universal message.
"Go back to work!"

None shall pass, my ass.
Why is that man shaving with a microphone? After a week sleeping in the capital, I guess everything looks like a Norelco.
"Negotiate!"
"WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!"
Upon reflection, I think those sunglasses are a metaphor of some kind on how that side sees things, anyway.
She's looking at Qaddafi and thinking about negotiating??

Ransom of Red Chief! Oh my!
You mean Illinois will try to return the cowardly Dems and find out Wisconsin doesn't want them.
Ta daa!!
Perfect.
Negotiate this!
Blind leading the blind?
Once again, for most liberalism is a fashion statement.
Have at you!
I wish I had time to re-dub this clip.

Coulda been worse.
Coulda been COEXIST ...
wow lovely your photo's and nice looking
Romantic Dinner Bruges
She reminds me of Jenny (waits for guy with mic to smack her and then blame it on this damn war!--cue Forest Gump)
"Best 2 out of 3?" won't fit onto a pair of sunglasses.
She looks like a superhero (supervillain) with the power to melt men when the goggles come off.
I have the feeling the Professor has the same effect on recalcitrant students.
Negotiate? Wow. Next thing you know, they'll be calling for civility.
I hope she trips over someone's discarded Walker=Hitler sign.
They should elect me Governor. They want Hitler? I'll show them Hitler. Fricken pansies.
@Quaestor:
That was a beautiful meld!
Next up: The Illinois 14 in How not to be seen
The protesters want to negotiate with politicians who have no skin in the game rather than the taxpayers who pay the freight.
Negotiate with the taxpayers and see what happens....
