Bravo, Wisconsin Republicans!

Congrats to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and the Republicans in the State Senate for finally saying, "Enough is enough!" and figuring out a way to curb the public employee unions, despite all the Democrats remaining AWOL. I only wish they'd done this at least a week or ten days ago and spared us some of the crap that's been taking place in Madison.
I for one had seen quite enough of the angry mobs of union demonstrators, the sick leave fraud, Michael Moore's commie rants, the defiling of public property, and the trashing of the capitol grounds (Tea Party members cleaned up after the demonstrators).
The next few days should be interesting — and further clarify just how thuggish these public employee unions are. Tonight, they've taken over the Wisconsin State Capitol and handcuffed shut some of the doors. Apparently, they're going to try to prevent the Assembly from meeting to pass the Senate-passed bill.
Just keep checking in at Althouse for the latest from Anne and Meade. She's promised that more photos and videos are coming.
UPDATE: Meade's first pictures are up. And apparently the (unionized) police allowed the union thugs to take over the State Capitol. Bryan Preston is incensed (HT: Instapundit):
Remember when ObamaCare passed, and Tea Partiers went nuts, stormed the hill, took over the building and handcuffed themselves inside? Yeah, me neither, because the Tea Partiers are civilized and didn’t do any of that. Wisconsin’s leftist union thugs, not so much.
…
If the police are being so lax in their security out of political spite, and someone gets hurt, well I don’t want to think about what follows that.
…
Update: Michael Moore, noted rich union buster who makes his money decrying capitalism to a stupidly receptive leftist audience, declares war. I’m not usually one for playground insults and taunts, but I’ll make an exception in his case.
You want war? Bring it, Lardbutt. You are the biggest talking, good for nothing little piece of Communist filth this country has produced in decades. You suck up to backward brutes and thugs like Castro while you castigate the American engines of the world’s economy. You trash this country and our people and belittle our values every chance you get, you cynical black hole of a human being. The worst words I can think of are too good to use to describe you. You are a buffoon, a hypocrite, and really of no use to civilization whatsoever.
