Wisconsin senate Democrats hiding out in Illinois are beginning to sound desperate.  They are now asking Wisconsin senate Republicans to meet them  near the Wisconsin-Illinois border “to formally resume serious discussions as soon as possible,” according to The New York Times.  The Republicans are showing no interest.

I wonder if the truant senators realize how ridiculous their request sounds.  What do they envision, megaphone exchanges across the 38^th parallel?

Perhaps what is weakening the Democrats resolve is talk of their paychecks being held at the state capitol.  They would actually have to show up at work to get them. Why they are being paid for playing hooky is another question.

Looks like this stand-off will be over soon.
