Lila Rose, The Activist Who Puts Journalists to Shame
If you have not yet heard the name Lila Rose, you should read Kathryn Jean Lopez’ article about her at National Review Online. She has become a formidable presence among pro-life activists and, more importantly, she has taught some of the old dogs of journalism a few new tricks. Several months ago, she set out [...]
Clearing the Browser Tabs – No, Really! I Am Sick Monday Edition
I hit the wall last night. Actually, the wall hit me, I think. I’ve been fighting off a little cold for a few days and, Sunday, I think my body negotiated a cease-fire. The illness got to sap my energy so that I was thinking at about half-speed while my body got to keep on [...]
Clearing the Browser Tabs – Watching Public Unions Die Sunday Edition
Saturday, the Tea Parties showed up in Wisconsin to represent the heretofore silent majority in that state’s budget battle — the taxpayers who have to foot the bill for all the expensive perks the teachers’ unions want to keep. Troglopundit, a native of the state, was there and snapped a few photos which show that [...]
Clearing the Browser Tabs – Belated Saturday Edition
I apologize that this post is late. I spent last night and this morning on a hard deadline for Smart Girl Nation (you are reading, yes?) and had to lay the blog off to the side. But I am done, at long last, which means that I can finally get today’s CtBT post to you. [...]

Is Today My Birthday? House Votes to Defund the Czars
Today must be my birthday. Somehow I wanged my head and was unconscious for a couple months and it’s now late April. How else to explain the wonderful gifts I’ve received today. The weather today was gloriously sunny and near 70 degrees; the progressive movement is falling apart and in near-panic mode thanks to several [...]
When Voting Raised Its Ugly Head, Dems Bravely Turned Their Tails and Fled
In a day, the situation in Wisconsin has gone from merely ridiculous to bizarre. The state Senate was set to vote on Governor Walker’s “budget repair bill” except that all the Democrats were gone. Senate rules require a quorum of 20 and when the Republican Leader called the quorum, only the 19 Republicans showed up [...]
This is The Week that Should End Public Sector Unions
The most exceptional thing has been happening in Wisconsin over the past few days. Governor Scott Walker has introduced a bill that will save the state about $300 million dollars over the next ten years – a sorely-needed chunk of slack in a budget that has, like so many other state budgets, gotten entirely out [...]
