…and tell him to vote NO on this upcoming CR. A vote for the CR is a vote for funding ObamaCare. Period. End stop. ObamaCare is ALREADY being funded, and Boehner and Co are pretending that their fidelity to a rule — one that has been circumvented on a number of other occasions — is keeping them from attacking the $105 billion for ObamaCare that was hidden in the authorization

In which I respond to a skirmish going on elsewhere by way of linking to my archives, quietly, without offering anything new, and without ostensibly taking sides — save my own, which is nearly always the side to take, given my demonstrative genius
What is feminism, and who gets to decide? Well, one way to answer that question is to look at who certain “feminists” label “anti-feminists.” There. I win. **** update: Oh. And KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF MY UTERUS!
"White House: Wis. vote 'vilifies' public workers"
AP: The White House is denouncing a vote by the Wisconsin Senate to strip nearly all collective bargaining rights from government workers, calling it an assault on public employees.

Kim Strassel, WSJ: Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker made some progress this week in rescuing his state from the public-sector unions holding it hostage. Ever wonder how Wisconsin got into trouble in the first place? Washington is providing an illuminating case study. Even as state battles rage, the Obama administration has been facilitating the largest federal union organizing effort in history. Tens of thousands of Transportation Security Administration (TSA) screeners are
