Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker gets prank phone call from "David Koch".

See, the real David Koch is a (mostly) conservative multi-billionaire, whose company Koch Industries, would probably stand to benefit from some of the crapola that Walker has been trying to do in Wisconsin. (Aside from the anti-union bill, Walker apparently has the bright idea of 'no-bid' selling state-owned power plants which obviously wouldn't benefit Koch Industries at all.)

So you have Governor Scott Walker, who is refusing to talk to any of the state Democrats (other then "get back here so we can vote on this"), taking a 20-minute phone call from "David Koch". (Please note, Walker was apparently unaware that he wasn't talking to the real David Koch.)

Interesting, huh?

It seems that Ben Nelson (D-Nebraska) is now asking that the amendment to the health care reform that would have had all the other states pick up the tab for Nebraska's Medicaid be removed. I'm guessing that this has partly to do with all the shit he's caught over this and partly to do with the fact that the Massachusetts Senate race on the 19th is so damn close that the Democrats want to try and get everything worked out in an attempt to pass it in the next couple of days. (If the Republican candidate wins, the Democrats lose their 60-seat supermajority.)
