mr. monk is on the right side of herstory:

Madison - Actor Tony Shalhoub, a Green Bay native, told demonstrators Saturday that the 14 Democratic state Senators "are what democracy looks like."

"I salute your strength and solidarity," he told the senators and the crowd. "You all are the heart of America today. This is not merely a protest on the steps of the Capitol here in Madison ... This is the birth of a nationwide movement."

He said the movement is "destined to protect the rights of workers," improve schools and restore the middle class.

"I'm here because I care deeply about Wisconsin families, all of them, including my own," he said. "Recently we've been hearing a lot of talk from places like Fox News ..."

The crowd interrupted his speech and said, "Fox News lies."

"Vilifying the unions in this country is divisive talk," he said.

Shalhoub then introduced his sister, a school teacher.

All of those comments are from nasty Republicans. Why do I always feel the need to scroll down? It's never anything good.
