Wisconsin is suffering from the political equivalent of a priority inversion bug -- there is a Republican majority in their legislature and a Republican governor, but enough of their house members are embroiled in a massive recall campaign that the balance of power is practically guaranteed to switch to the Democratic party come votin' time. Therefore, the legislature is attempting to cram vast amounts of right-wing conservative legislation through before their time's up. It's like QE2, but for legislation. The point is, there's nothing rational about anything going on there right now.
