I've always thought of Wisconsin and a well run, competent place filled with competent people. After all, it's known as a progressive state, ahead of the rest of us in adopting progressive policies. But that was before I learned what the Progressive Movement was all about. The recent brouhaha over the Budget Repair Bill shattered my illusions. What sort of responsible legislator leaves the state to prevent the presence of a quorum? And now we see a state judge making an absurd ruling to block a duly enacted law from taking affect. This is the sort of thing you expect in Illinois or California, but Wisconsin?
