The Uptake-org reports that "protesters remain inside Wisconsin's State Capitol building tonight. They may be getting what they want.

I can't show you the video because it starts with an ad, ends with an ad, is plastered over with ads, and you can't see or hear anything on it.

A lot of people (really, a lot—I've got a stack of emails on this subject) have been complaining that their browsers routinely crash on loading this site, and a few have been telling me about other peculiarities.
After a bit of start-and-stop, I was able to view the video. Wasn't worth the effort.
"I can't show you the video because it starts with an ad, ends with an ad, is plastered over with ads, and you can't see or hear anything on it."
It sounds like some of those X@&$ private, advertisement-financed TV channels we have got in Sweden, in parallel to the public TV channels. Interruption, interruption, nothing important, then more interruptions.
