First the stupid: Friday night, a Madison restaurant blogged on the company website that they had to tell Governor Walker to leave because his presence was creating a ruckus among the other patrons. Some heavy-hitting lefty blogs cried out "Aw hell yeah!" at the move.
Then another blogger called the restaurant with some questions, and all of the sudden the restaurant backtracks, saying "maybe it happened, maybe it didn’t". The phone call was recoreded, and some unintentional comedy ensues as the restaurant employee on the phone doesn’t know which button terminates the call, and the internet is blessed with a cover-up recorded live.
A news outlet called the governor, and he said he has never been to that restaurant in his life. So a ruckus ensued among the political blogosphere over a lame attempt by a restaurant to gain street cred among the union crowd and drum up business.

On a lighter note, New Rockford, Illinois is using their newfound status as Dem refuge to entice others to "hide away". Link to the advertisement is included at this link:
