I just ordered 2 pizzas to be delivered to demonstrators in Madison, Wisconsin. Rachel Maddow has the story:
You’re probably already familiar with ordering take-out food online. Some restaurants let you do it directly and others use a middle man service, but the idea is that you log on, place your order, plug in your credit card info and tell it where to deliver the food. But there’s nothing that says you have to have the food delivered to yourself. In fact, there’s nothing that says you have to even be in the same country as the food you’ve just ordered.And so we arrive at Ian’s Pizza by the Slice where donations literally from around the world are coming into their State Street store in the form of online pizza orders to feed Wisconsin protesters. As Politico reports, “On Saturday alone, Ian’s gave away 1,057 free slices in their store and delivered more than 300 pizzas to the Capitol itself.”
You get it. I got it. I sent 2 20″ 3 topping pizzas to the assembled democracy demonstrators. Join me. It’s easy. You go to badgerbites.com and order a pie for the demonstrators. You know how to order for yourself. It’s just as easy to order for others. Go for it. It will make you smile.
And by the way. This does not mean that my allegiance to Pizza Bob’s in Ann Arbor has been violated in any regard. The way I see it, when in Madison, you do like the Badgers.

Thanks for feeding these people.
Global villaging in action. Nice one, David!
facebook page (NO acct. necessary!): http://www.facebook.com/IansPi…
gives an updated info for ordering by phone or on-line
if you sign-in to facebook you can see their photos.
this is a small place… they have TWO pizza ovens.
they are doing a fabulous job,
not only feeding pizza, but carting cases of water & cola
(& i’d imagine coffee too)
thanks for highlighting this davidseth!
But I specified that they only be delivered to the patriotic tea-baggin’ counter-protesters. They better not screw up my order! I should be safe though — they had sausage so the liberal vegan Muslim protesters can’t touch ’em.
In all this time, I never received a pizza from U . . . . . . .!
O.K., seriously, I went to the badgerbites to order a pizza and dealt with a very nice young college guy (he and two others are running the site, having had absolutely NO anticipation of what is happening) for ordering. Once I tried to order, I had problems changing the destination. I tried several times and could only get so far. I called badgerbites back again and got Matt again. Cool! He said that it may be because of a browser not being updated that it would not allow me to go all the way through (I told him I had Vista). So, he helped me out — checked out the information I had input and then took the rest from me.
We briefly discussed the situation, i.e., the threatened firing by the Governor of so many workers. I told him I hope people will keep their STAND as is, regardless of his threats, because, I told him, I really think we can beat this by NOT caving in!
Another huge progressive movement is in the making!

Scott Walker Falls for Killer Prank by Liberal Blogger Posing as Right-Winger Sugar Daddy David Koch
Wisconsin governor and union-buster extraordinaire Scott Walker has been fooled by a progressive blog editor posing as David Koch. The prank caller, Buffalo Beast editor Ian Murphy, got some amazingly off-guard comments out of Walker.
Here’s part one of the conversation:
And part two

From AMERICAblog:
You can make a donation there. ALL the money collected goes to supplies for the protesters
