Speaking out

For many days recently there were demonstrations at the Blair Street facility of Madison Gas and Electric Company. The protestors opposed MGE's plan to reduce pension benefits.

I biked through the demonstrations each day on my way home from work, and as I did I tried to make out what their placards said. One said, spelling MGE, "Money Greedy Executives." Another said, "MGE: Your Neighborhood Enron."

There was another sign that eventually I realized said "Future 4 Sale." But do you know what I thought it said at first?

"Futon 4 Sale."

Hey, when you've gotta move the merch, you've gotta move the merch.
