Excellent. What with the situation in Libya and the Christchurch earthquake, the demonstrations in the US haven't received a lot of coverage here - at least on the few news broadcasts I watch these days. I did some googling to inform myself a bit more - one bizarre thing I found was that Wisconsin democrats have apparently gone interstate to avoid being brought to the state legislature by the State police. The report I read says "The Republican controlled Senate dispatched the state troopers to find the Democrats, but they were unsuccessful. A group of them have opted to stay in a hotel just on the other side of the state line in Illinois." Is that real? Anyway - two excellent documentary images.
