Jim Lindgren, the guy who came up with this cute ploy, will have a grand time explaining in NRO or Volokh.com how he never meant to have the Fitzgerald brothers violate a half dozen laws in the course of enacting it. Since he won’t allow comments on his VC posts it may turn out that nobody can ever pose that question to him directly.

I would actually argue it’s only his second biggest boner since then, the largest being the day he saw the Galt! The Musical! trailer.

Skimmed Annie Green Springs’ site (and yes, I washed my hands AND used sanitizer before coming here). Hope Mead was able to get out of the Capitol and back home last night. Sounds like Annie sprung the lock on the box wine closet again. Just sayin’. Also. Too.

Shorter all of them: We are one step closer to our libertarian fuck U-topia! (otherwise known as a MEtopia)

How will they all react if/when the unions strike?

Video from Madison last night. People are focused on strategy for next move. Wild times in Madison:

Plus, reader Jeff my Johnson writes: “Will the governor call in the National Guard? He’s not getting any support from the police.”

Fixed.

Who is the bigger grifter? Palin, Althouse or Reynolds? It’s a tight race, I tell ya…screw them all. It will be quite refreshing to see the recall elections beginning in WI. And this fight ain’t quite over yet, either. As far as I can tell, Hosni Walker has not yet succeeded in eliminating the judiciary in his state. Wonder what they will think of his shenanigans?

Reynolds is taking Meade’s word for things? You gotta be kidding me.

I took a closer look at this modern libertarian Walter Winchell known as “Meade”.

But at his fiancée’s urging, he agreed to be unmasked here. He is Laurence Meade, 55, divorced, father of a college student and a garden designer and caretaker for a Cincinnati estate.

Okay, hypocritical sanctity for marriage – check. Gardener probably losing work because brown people from down south are undercutting his $7 an hour rate – check. The Liberatarian stew ingredients are almost complete.

Intellectually smitten, Mr. Meade read Ms. Althouse’s blog daily, becoming a regular commenter. “He would write jokingly as if he was in love with me,” Ms. Althouse said.

Mr. Meade even followed a blog kept by Ms. Althouse’s ex-husband, Richard Cohen, a writer in Austin, Tex. Once, about three years ago, when Ms. Althouse and her ex had a blog-spat, Mr. Meade, whose marriage was then unraveling, commented on Mr. Cohen’s behalf.

Add in 2 cups of stalker and the recipe is complete.

He’s like James O’Keefe, only better with a pair of pruning shears and without the boat load of vibrators. As far as we know.

It has been said that Althouse had to cross three state lines in order to find someone who would put their Alt in her House, if you know what I mean.

From Althouse: He (Meade) thought it seemed as if someone in one of the Democratic legislators’ offices had opened a window to let them in

He thought it seemed as if….. Now there’s an eye-witness report for you.

“They intend to physically keep the legislature from assembling tomorrow to vote. Mob rule… ”
How horrible. Imagine if a mob tried to keep duly appointed election officials from counting votes. I’ll bet the right would be up in arms over that.
Oh, wait a minute….never mind, my bad.

That does it. I’m now declaring that the word “feckless” is to be retired from the English language. Its usage has, as they say, “leaped the hammerhead.”

She calls him by his last name?

It’s amusing when Lisa Edelstein does that on House, but that’s FICTION. (And no one calls him “Greg.”)

The lunacy pretenses and fantasy life never stop with these people, do they.

What people may not remember or even know is that the Kent State killings did not generate any large measure of repugnancy on the part of the general public. The general public, as exemplified by my father at the time, believed the kids got what they deserved, and there was plenty of rationalizing to make it all right in their minds. That period was an ugly time, with ugly reactionary attacks on liberals, but what made it different was, the liberals of the day stood on their hind legs and fought for what they believed in. The reason Wisconsin is so compelling to us now is that we haven’t seen this kind of stubborn resistance on the part of the left for decades. God bless them.

Fixed it for ya. Yer welcome.

Ah yes, a true journalist. ;-)

Oh, so true. I remember my mother trying the justification argument with me…something along the lines of “that girl was no innocent”—followed by some “she wasn’t a virgin!” type claim. Absolutely outraged that the students were armed with rocks against the National Guard’s military rifles.

You are so right that part of the excitement is the length of time that has passed since anyone stood up and fought back. Which I guess is why Scott Walker thought he could get away with this.

It was a bad time, indeed, especially within many families in my generation.

And of course it also put the fear-oh-gaud into other potential protesters, and campus activism pretty much started to die down at that point.

What’s a mere 4 kids’ lives against the establishment of LAWNORDER throughout the country? I mean, after all, hasn’t the perpetration of Object Lessons always been among the things that state-sponsored violence is FOR?

Glenn Reynolds is fucking filth.

Doesn’t Meade have a–you know–job? How come he can spend all day wandering around the capitol while Ann labors over a hot law school class? He seems like those unemployed hippies and Outside Agitators that go to demonstrate all day.
(Oh, wait–I forgot! Isn’t he like 107 years old or something? Maybe he’s retired.)
