You know, its one of those things you just know but you can’t find proof of: that Obama sticking his nose into state financial restructurings cleverly spun as “labor disputes” was political payback for allowing the unions to basically purchase the Presidency. Luckily, for those of us who know where to find it, they leave […]

Up to a certain age it is normal and expected for your offspring to fail to distinguish between minor irritants, perceived slights, dull discomforts, petty jealousies, cranky moods, and emergencies. Where your child is at now, everything is an emergency, and the only way to address any such emergency is to annoy you. This is […]

The really odd thing about the union protests in Wisconsin is: what Wisconsin’s doing isn’t all that uncommon: Only 26 states have laws that grant collective-bargaining privileges to substantially all public employees. Twelve have laws that give collective bargaining to some workers, and twelve have no statewide collective-bargaining law at all, though some municipalities may […]

I follow Mona Eltahawy on twitter to get a good Muslim view of things happening in the Middle East right now. She is an award-winning columnist and an international public speaker on Arab and Muslim issues. She writes for Canada’s Toronto Star, Israel’s The Jerusalem Report and Denmark’s Politiken. I follow her also because we […]

It looks like Gov. Walker in Wisconsin won this latest standoff against the unions. The Republicans passed Governor Scott Walker’s budget-repair bill virtually intact, and did it without having to split out controversial provisions that limited the ability for government employees to collectively bargain. This is how he did it. Gov. Walker gave the Democrats […]

Yesterday was International Women’s Day. A protest in Cairo turned into a screaming fest made worse by violence. Women in Egypt were a part of the revolution that took down Mubarak. But now they say they are being denied a role in changing Egypt’s future. Lara Logan’s attack in Egypt gave us a glimpse of […]

The Obama administration is still handing out waivers to Obamacare like the Easter bunny hands out candy. …the administration has issued 307 more Obamacare waivers, 47 of which for labor unions. That brings the total number of waivers to 1,040. Labor unions received 269 of those. That means unions received about 26 percent of all […]

Blogger friend Phil has an open mind, and has been talking to some smart people. Well I guess it came to a head with that liberal friend over on Facebook. I got a note from him yesterday basically saying why don’t we just talk about the things we have in common. We’re not close, but […]

Not anymore, it seems. There’s this new book titled Not Quite Adults, which looks at “why it takes 20-somethings longer to reach the traditional ‘adulthood’ milestones.” The headline: Why GenY Might Be Too Frugal One of the answers: They might be too afraid of debt. The authors’ research suggests that GenY is so frugal that […]

When polls show Americans in favor of government unions, it means Governor Walker is a moron. Opposition to Obamacare was proof of President Obama’s great courage. Opposition to Governor Walker’s budget repair bill is proof that he’s flailing. When President Obama went full steam ahead despite the polls, he was risking his career to Do […]

I have long defended the Tea Parties against racism and bad behavior. I’ve always been proud of the fact that millions and millions of Americans have protested against the overreach of government across this country, and have behaved in a civil manner. I have always said that if any Tea Party showed racism or bad […]

With so much talk about the “Citizens United” Supreme Court Case, it is amazing that few people talk about the actual case. Often the talk breaks into a back-and-forth debate about the merits of corporations. Well, Annie Leonard did just that in an 8 minute corporate-bashing rant that misleads her viewers about what actually happened. […]

“I closed my eyes and made it so with the power of my mind,” said Sheen about getting clean.” He also said, “I am on a drug. It’s called Charlie Sheen. It’s not available because if you try it, you will die. Your face will melt off and your children will weep over your exploded […]

Al Sharpton is a rather loathsome race hustler who makes a living stirring up and exploiting racial grievances. He’s widely and justifiably despised because of this. Some people have spoken of Barack Obama as a break from the Sharpton/Jackson mold — but, that’s not really so. Barack Obama is simply more artful about it. Obama […]

I told you this was coming back in 2007. Now, we are seeing it: In a recent parliamentary session on a bill relating to sexual offenses against children, psychology experts claimed that pedophilia is a “sexual orientation” comparable to homosexuality or heterosexuality, a definition that was questioned by one Member of Parliament who was present. […]

Liberals in Wisconsin have been insisting – insisting – that by donating just under $50,000 to Scott Walker’s campaign, the libertarian-leaning billionaire Koch brothers have somehow managed to put everyone on the right under their dastardly control. Obviously, whenever anyone on the left joins in a protest, even if their slogans are conveniently similar and […]

I interviewed Ted Cruz at CPAC for SmartGirlNation, but the audio quality wasn’t great, so to make sure you didn’t miss it, I transcribed it. Enjoy! Welcome to Smart Girl Nation. This is Kathleen McKinley and today I’m speaking with Mr. Ted Cruz, who is running for the Texas Senate seat now being held Kay […]

What has happened in Sacramento in the past 24 hours proves: once again how important it is that Tea Party protesters should never attend a rally alone, and should always have a camera rolling.: 

Dr. Helen, who is Mrs. Instapundit, makes an interesting point about incentives with regard to that Kay Hymowitz book everyone’s been talking about lately: What would happen if a regular Joe, not an alpha male, came into class and gave his true opinion about the topics at hand, say in a psychology or sociology class? […]

It is a mark of maturity — and, sadly, in our modern age a rare one that is diminishing into nothingness before our eyes — to visualize a possible improvement to a situation, and yet simultaneously concede that there’s no great transgression being committed while we’re waiting for the improvement to come about; no gross […]

Caroline Baum finishes strong and I supposed I shouldn’t excerpt that part of it, but hey. It’s a wonderful column that just might save your weekend, that happens to have been put together upside-down. The final note is a perfect summary for all that came before. For every number homegrown America-haters spit out to show […]

This… …is such a common accusation in Madison today that one hardly notices anymore. Not that a Lefty calling a conservative “dictator” is new. To the Left, a “dictator” is a conservative who won an election. But: who, exactly, are the dictators here? In a dictatorship, there is no authority higher than the will of […]
