A short diary. If a picture is worth a thousand words, a video may be worth far more.
Yesterday, the votes were coming fast and furious as our legislature rammed through a lot of repugnant legislation, from removing development restriction on wetlands to removing the rights of women to sue for punitive damages in employment discrimination cases. They also voted to stop allowing high school seniors to register at their high school, and of course there was a whole lot of "get-tough-on-crime" legislation.
Of course, it's pretty tough to be there all the time when these votes are coming so fast...

The guy in the white shirt is Rep. Joel Kleefisch, aka Mr. Rebecca Kleefisch (he's the husband of our loony Lt. Governor).
Notice how they think it's funny.
