ANN ALTHOUSE corrects Rush Limbaugh:

Now, that’s just ridiculous. I’ve lived in Madison, Wisconsin for 25 years — and I’ve gone over to the protests nearly every day — and I’ve never seen a used Kotex anywhere. I put up a post showing trash on one of the first days of protest, but ever since then, I’ve been impressed that they are picking up trash. They care about the impression they leave and are making a big effort about that. They are putting up signs, taping them up and sticking them in little snowmen outdoors. And there are piles of belongings, such as bedding that are piled up in a way that isn’t aesthetically pleasing. But that’s not trash. And I haven’t seen any beer drinking or beer cans or pot smoking or pot paraphernalia anywhere. The last time I was in the building, I didn’t think it smelled, but Meade was there more recently (for the Governor’s Budget Address), and he says it smelled. People are living in there, the human body is what it is.

As always, it’s valuable to have a known and trusted source on the scene of important events. That used to be big-media reporters. Now it’s bloggers.
