In the comments to my earlier post on the Wisconsin vote, Benedict notes: I [now] have liberal Facebook friends calling for a national boycott on Wisconsin products. Brilliant. Way to show your support for the union folk who make cheese. Dummies. To which I reply, it’s sickening, isn’t it? Here’s what these idiot Madison “protesters” — along with their intellectually bankrupt fellow travelers playing Solidarno?? on fucking facebook as if

Daily Caller: If NPR is trying demonstrate in the wake of the video scandal that it embraces a diversity of viewpoints and is not the left-wing outlet it has been portrayed to be, its first move after the resignation of president and CEO Vivian Schiller isn’t a particularly good start. After Schiller announced her resignation on Wednesday, the NPR Board of Directors promptly named Joyce Slocum as NPR’s interim CEO.

From bh on the ground: They’re stripping all fiscal aspects of the bill. The remaining bill will: 1) Take away collective bargaining for benefits and pensions. 2) It will end automatic union deductions. 3) Will require a yearly recert vote for public unions. It’s already drafted. The Senate will take it up tonight. Will go to the Assembly tomorrow. It’s done. About time, frankly. update: Passed 18-1, with Schultz voting

Uber cyber-terrorist. Oh. And he also used to contribute (as did I) to National Lampoon’s blog. So.

Talk about federal government overreach…: Tuesday brought the 18th day that Wisconsin Senate Democrats stayed out of the state to avoid a quorum in a vote for Governor Scott Walker’s budget repair bill which would roll back many public workers unions’ negotiating rights. Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, a Republican from Juneau, believes the delay is actually a plan by organizers attached to President Barack Obama to get Wisconsin Republican

Me, I believe we “win” “Hispanic” voters by making them into American voters and agreeing to govern in a way that helps protect our liberty and private property rights, and that champions the rule of law under which we are all supposedly equal. Others, however, believe we need to turn lawbreakers into citizens in order to “win” them over. The long-term ideological ramifications for doing so? Never seem to be

Protestant work ethic? Meh. Dead white males, old documents, conservatism. A permanent Democrat client state run by a byzantine, inefficient Brazil-like bureaucracy and peopled with a soul-dead perpetual victim class of khaki-clad drones collecting “wages” stolen from a dwindling number of remaining free taxpayers? Now we’re talking! Progress!

A reminder, in light of the NPR sting: “NASCAR Fans Fail to Bite NBC’s Bigot Bait”. The anti-intellectualism, it burns! Reached for comment, former NPR executive Ron Schiller called any request for him to comment on the story both “racist and weirdly evangelical.” Then he ate a plum-infused puff pastry and let slip the most marvelous little potpouri fart!

We heard you, TEA Partiers. But we won’t wound seniors. We won’t shut down the government and risk public backlash. And we won’t go for cuts deeper than 61 billion on a budget that proposes a new $1.6 trillion deficit. So. Feel our fury, Democrats. Young turks rule!

After all, the Cookie Monster runs afoul of Michelle Obama’s proper eating initiative (don’t even get me started on that gluttonous Miss Piggy, with her false consciousness); Kermit routinely insists that going green is for more difficult than kids are otherwise being told; and Oscar bullies bullies bullies from amid his filth — and so of course this hotbed of anti-social propaganda NEEDS to be removed from the public dole.
