Bottom pic really shows the beauty of the black marble.

Nice work.

Meade--don something purple; then, and only then will they tell you their secrets.

Chip S. म्हणाले...

It looks like everybody there is New Media, except for the old guys on the floor of the rotunda, who look like they got left behind in Paddington Station a few decades ago.

Michael K म्हणाले...

This suggests it's getting harder and harder to turn out a crowd.

Walker can out wait them unless, of course, the supreme court flips.

Deb म्हणाले...

Should that lady in the first photo be wearing plaid? Just sayin.

traditionalguy म्हणाले...

More and more NEA Union troops are being landing in Madison to join in the 2012 campaign's offensive to retake Wisconsin for the Empire of Obama. But there stands New Meadia Meade like the stonewalls of the Capitol Building that he is protecting.

There was a young lady from Brewster
Whose ass was so nice that I goosed her,
But her panties were thin
And my finger slipped in
And it still just don't smell like it used ter.

Tell me again about astroturf...

PS Remember the French and Indian wars. If you got captured by the Indians, they tortured you. If you got captured by the Indians and they didn't like you, they let the women torture you.

Ann, get Meade out of there!

He may be a good scout, but Rogers' Rangers, he ain't.

I read the poster as "Out of Shape Protester" and thought, here's something I can finally agree with.

Ann, get Meade out of there!

Poor Meade! In between a refugee from every demo since 1967 and a dead ringer for the very dead Jennifer Paterson, one of the Two Fat Ladies chefs.

Where does Madison GET these types?

"Can you really do the fist salute while seated, slumping, on the floor?"

You can if you're a union member. They require extra pay for standing.

Alex म्हणाले...

Germany Green soaring after latest elections

Germans have gone batshit insane...

Carol_Herman म्हणाले...

Oy, a very fat person, who clips a drink to her belt. This is like watching someone addicted to cigarettes. (If it was a guy, and his beer, I think he'd stay seated on his couch.)

Love the pictures of Meade.

It's wonderful that you don't tire of doing this. It's like somebody with a house at the seashore.

Women who wear purple are very spiritual. Which they tell you more than once. Many times more. Alright already but can you make a good brisket? Crickets.

David म्हणाले...

I knew it. The Minnesota Vikings are behind all of this.

vbspurs म्हणाले...

My money is on Brett Favre, David. His purple hands are a dead giveaway.

KCFleming म्हणाले...

Modern panhandlers shake a fist, not a cup.

अनामित म्हणाले...

"Do not go gentle into that good night."

Just sit your lazy asses down and quit.

Steve Burri म्हणाले...

Whatever happened to that guy in the rotunda that was on a hunger strike until the law was repealed?

Lem Vibe Bandit म्हणाले...

Is this another Rotunda Cafe?

Steven म्हणाले...

I mixed up a word in the title with a word in the first line and thought you had mentioned the title of a song by a band known only to Cambridge nerds and Guitar Hero players.

I moved away from Cambridge a few years ago and miss their shows.

He's now working at Ian's Pizza.

vbspurs म्हणाले...

T-minus 18 hours to the President's address to the nation about KMA, woo!

I might be stretched, as I intend to live-comment elsewhere, but I'll be here.

Cheers,
Victoria

I assume wearing purple is to signify SEIU association and that photographing the photographer is meant to intimidate.

Issob Morocco म्हणाले...

They look like AFSCME members, so it is acceptable to fist salute from the sitting position.

KCFleming म्हणाले...

Proposed Union recruitment sign:

AFSCME about rent-seeking.

sane_voter म्हणाले...

I didn't know that stting on your ass is what democracy looks like.

TosaGuy म्हणाले...

I've noticed lots of protestors walking with a sign in one hand and a coffee in the other. The governor should open a coffee shop and protest supply store on the capitol grounds.

The profits from this store can be applied to the budget deficit. You can even have the customer earmark which part of state gov't they would want to support with their purchase.

Tully म्हणाले...

You know, if those signs on the reclining rotunda floor furniture read "Will work for food", those folks would be right at home at any exit ramp.

Which may be where the union hired them.

jp म्हणाले...

Maybe those purple women are Viking fans.

Sigivald म्हणाले...

... what's with the shofar?

The symoblism there is somewhat opaque.

Velocon म्हणाले...

Fat, balding, middle-aged parasites on the workers/producers unite!!

Methadras म्हणाले...

No, that was fist pumping for socio-economic justice...
