IRVINE – MoveOn.org will hold rallies in Irvine and Orange tonight to support public employees in Wisconsin and protest what the group calls "Republican attacks" at every government level against middle and working class residents.
More than 150 people have replied to the online invitation to the political action group's rally and signed up to attend in Irvine according to Tony Cruzalegui, media relations spokesperson for MoveOn's Irvine Council.
MoveOn members will gather at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at Alton Athletic Park on the northeast corner Alton Parkway and Culver Drive in Irvine.
"We expect a good and boisterous crowd," Cruzalegui said. "Participants to stand in solidarity with Wisconsin workers, and protest Republican attacks on the American dream."
In Orange, a rally to protest the proposed federal budget is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. today in front of Orange City Hall. Chip Davis is a member of the Orange County MoveOn council and said that more than 70 people have RSVP'd to protest.
Davis expects the protest to last about an hour and he plans to lead the group iin chants such as "Don't cut teachers, don't cut cops. Collect taxes

Plenty of people were quick to denounce Wisconsin Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald for announcing that Senate Democrats would not be allowed to participate in recorded committee votes. But if you read the letter he sent, he was saying more specifically that the contempt order, which the Republicans passed in the dark days of the impasse over the anti-union bill, had not yet been revoked. This contempt order could only be lifted on the Senate floor by a vote, and the Senate isn’t due back in session in Wisconsin until April 5.
Well, today, perhaps because of this outcry, Republicans did revoke all associated penalties arising from the contempt resolution, in particular the $100-a-day fines Republicans imposed on Democrats for leaving the state. Furthermore, Fitzgerald said that Republicans would try to find a way for Democrats to get their voting rights
Dear Mr. Teachbad,
I am being told to add in two weeks of remediation without changing the curriculum. I have tried to point out that adding in 2 weeks of work will result in losing 2 weeks of work from the end of the curriculum…I am being labeled a troublemaker for pointing out this nicety. Other teachers who have been included in this edict are telling me off. How could I possibly say that this is changing the curriculum? Am I mad?

Dear Crazed:
I don’t get why the other teachers are upset with you about this. Usually teachers are too scared to say anything and run to thank the one person in the meeting who was willing to point out publicly that 2 plus 4 is not 19. The

While it’s great that my pants fit looser from all that exercise I did rallying, my kitchen is a health hazard. You may see more “grab bag”‘s ”this n that”‘s and other people’s videos this week.

Senator Cullen Extends an “Olive Branch”, Puzzling some Dem 14 Fans
“Sen. Tim Cullen, D-Janesville, a key member of the Democratic senators who fled the state in a failed effort to stall Gov. Scott Walker’s budget repair bill, said Tuesday he was drafting a state constitutional amendment that would allow the Legislature to vote on and pass fiscal bills with a simple majority.”-madison.com

Today's Protest at the Michigan State Capitol in Lansing:
Can we please agree that in the real world corporations exist for one purpose, and one purpose only — to make as much money as possible, which means cutting costs as much as possible?
The New York Times reports that G.E. marketed the Mark 1 boiling water reactors, used in TEPCO’s Fukushima Daiichi plant, as cheaper to build than other reactors because they used a comparatively smaller and less expensive containment structure.
Yet American safety officials have long thought the smaller design more vulnerable to explosion and rupture in emergencies than competing designs. (By the way, the same design is used in 23 American nuclear reactors at 16 plants.)
In the mid-1980s, Harold Denton, then an official with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, said Mark 1 reactors
