Those Democratic senators from Wisconsin, who fled the state for three weeks to prevent the passage of a law regarding collective bargain rights, have returned to their posts (where the whole reason they left was completely nullified by the successful passing of the law they were trying to prevent).  I don't pretend to completely understand what's going on with that whole situation, but I can't help ignoring one simple fact:  In any other job in any other industry in any other place on earth, if you didn't show up to work, you'd get fired.  Why that didn't happen in this case probably has something to do with why the subject of politics is so unattractive to people like me. #politics
