Rich Galen's column over at Townhall.com is pretty good today.

Don't Like It? Riot

Welcome to another new normal: If you don't like something your government is doing, or if your government is not doing something you think it should be doing - riot.
Don't wait for one of those pesky elections. Take over the square, the roundabout or the state house and demand that the government do - or stop doing - what you want.

I understand that Hosni Mubarak was a despot in dictionary meaning: A ruler with absolute or virtually absolute power and authority.

A fair election was never going to happen in Egypt while Mubarak was in power and the only way to get rid of him was to (a)wait for him to die or (b)get the military to force him to retire.

That is not the case in Bahrain and it is certainly not the case in Wisconsin.

The rest is at:

It's good.

Chase her.
Chase her even when she's yours.
That's the only way you'll be assured to never lose her.

So when things don't go our way, throw a fit.  Did liberals not grow out of this phase at about 18 months old?

Looks like a bit of winter returns to the Northern Tier this weekend, perhaps less Spring-like conditions will get the students and teachers back where they belong next week.

I really like this part

Quote
Any group which disagrees with the position of a legally elected city council, county commission, state legislature or … dare we say it … Congress of the United States has been given the active permission of Barack Obama to riot in support of its views.
