ACTION ALERT DAY 2: PLEASE CALL A HOUSE REPUBLICAN

…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. White House spokesman Jay Carney said President Barack Obama believes it is wrong for Wisconsin to use its budget troubles “to denigrate or vilify public sector employees.” — Which Walker did by saving at least 1500 jobs.

Rand Paul vs Busy Body Nation

Is it just me, or does anyone else look at Ms Hogan and see the smug, self-satisfied invincibility of bureaucratic entrenchment. Even her glasses offend me. As a one-time nation of rugged individualists, we used to sneer at the busy bodies and blue noses.

"Sen. Boxer: Opponents of EPA Climate Regulations ‘Hurting the American People’"

Under

Gov Scott Walker rescinds WI public sector employee layoff notices

Walker’s statement: The Legislature helped us save 1,500 middle-class jobs by moving forward this week with the budget repair. The state will now be able to realize $30 million in savings to balance the budget and allow 1,500 state employees to keep their jobs. The reforms contained in this legislation, which require modest health care and pension contributions from all public employees, will help put Wisconsin on a path to

"Ready for Unionized Airport Security?"

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
