Click here to view this media As protests escalate in Wisconsin, Gov. Scott Walker (R) isn’t showing any signs of backing down from his plan to slash union benefits and eliminate collective bargaining rights. Wisconsin’s 14 Democratic state senators have gone into hiding to prevent Republicans from holding a vote on Walker’s proposal. In an interview with Fox News’ Chris Wallace Sunday, Walker said that he had no intention of giving in to protesters demands. “How long are you willing to let the standoff go on,” Wallace asked Walker. “And what would you think of the legislature voting that the Senate Democrats are in contempt of the legislature and therefore what they are doing is a crime?” “My hope is that cooler minds will prevail and by sometime earlier this coming week they will show up for their job,” Walker replied. “I believe we’ve got a path that allows us to have everybody come back and vote. There’s going to be plenty of time to have the debate. They can make their case and their argument. But democracy is not about hiding out in another state. It’s about showing up here in the capital and making the case there.” “We are willing to take this as long as it takes,” he added. “In the end, we are doing the right thing.”

When we first heard this union protester saying he would rather vote for Castro over a GOP member, we thought he meant ‘vote’ ironically, since, um, the Cuban people don’t exactly get to ‘vote’ for Cuba.

Plus, he doesn’t exactly look like a 20-something Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : Big Government Discovery Date : 20/02/2011 17:59 Number of articles : 3

BAHRAIN – Chanting, singing and waving roses, Bahrain’s Shia Muslims ran in their tens of thousands back into Pearl Square in the centre of Manama after two days of bloodshed as police and soldiers battled to keep them from the streets of the capital. The army tanks withdrew from the area – Bahrain’s version of Cairo’s Tahrir Square – in the morning, and then more than 1000 riot police, standing in ranks before the democracy protesters, suddenly retreated. Several of them ran away, pursued by women in chadors waving flowers. Just why the Bahraini military, after firing live bullets into the crowds 24 hours earlier, allowed the protesters to take back the square yesterday was a mystery to…

Remember that Microsoft Rally Ball demo from a few days ago that showed Windows Phone 7′s integration with Xbox? Well, the gang at Supertouch has stolen a bit of Ballmer’s thunder with a new Kinect hack that lets you hurl digital orbs at your Kinect-controlling friend using an iOS device instead of a WP7 handset. The graphics for the game and the iDevice controls aren’t nearly as pretty as Microsoft’s cross-platform gaming solution, but the end result is pretty much the same — flingin’ balls with a phone while your friend dodges them courtesy of Kinect. Meanwhile, Frog Design has added a Human Tetris game to the Kinect’s repertoire where players perfect their Vogue-ing skills by striking a pose to match an approaching cut-out on screen. Finally, all the shape-shifting fun with none of the goofy silver jumpsuits. Vids are after the break.
