Wisconsin Republicans lock doors of public building during business hours.

Imagine that.  Republicans performing government work without allowing the public access.  Hmm...where did we hear that one before?

How ironic - or coincidental if you're a purist - that Abraham Lincoln's birthday was celebrated just the other week:

"Democracy is the government of the people, by the people, for the people."

I'm sure the meaning of this is lost in the 21st century of winner take all politics.
