Michael Holewinski, president of Ace Industries and chairman of the Illinois Manufacturers’ Association, opines at the Chicago Tribute that it is Illinois and not Wisconsin that is really the state open for business, and rightly so. Reacting to Scott Walker’s visit and his put-down of Illinois, Holweinski stands up for Illinois. According to a comprehensive state-by-state analysis by [...] There are literally millions of jobs hiding inside women’s uteruses all across the US. Just ask the GOP. In the first three months of 2012, legislators in 45 of the 46 legislatures that have convened this year introduced 944 provisions related to reproductive health and rights. Half of these provisions would restrict abortion access. So far, [...] He takes Corey Booker, the mayor of Newark, to task. Mr. Booker ran into a burning building to save a neighbor. In addition to being a personally good deed, this episode demonstrates the real failure of local government in the 21st century. The whole story speaks to a quintessentially American love of amateurism and cowboy theatrics, but [...] They don’t care about you… Or about anyone. A related set of studies published by Keltner and his colleagues last year looked at how social class influences feelings of compassion towards people who are suffering. In one study, they found that less affluent individuals are more likely to report feeling compassion towards others on a regular basis. [...] Irony: A bunch of “hike up your bootstraps” Republicans standing in a long line for free handouts. This occurred to me this morning… I was inspired (again) by Corey Robin who proposes that modern conservatives are still fighting the French Revolution.

We’re [...] … and it’s not to stay on topic. No, no. That would be too difficult for the trolling wingnut. Instead, they’ve mastered the technique called deflection. Fred Dooley of Real Debate (ask Zach and capper) is especially good at this. Essentially, deflection is an attempt to hijack an argument because the deflector is either losing [...] Marquette University Law Professor Ed Fallone argues that the judges who signed the recall petition are well within their constitutional rights to do so and are under no obligation to recuse themselves based on the current statutes, the judicial code of conduct and controlling case law. The best part? He uses conservative lawyer & blogger [...] I have covered the story of "Verify The Recall" & how it was never used to make sure the process was clean and fair, but to make sure and intimidate those who signed. With the Governor’s recall a sure thing, the VTR is still working. The latest egregious event comes from the Wausau Daily Herald [...] John Torinus has a fairly good take on the legislative collapse of the ferrous mining bill, rightly pointing out that Gogebic Taconite President Bill Williams and the GOP legislature’s ramrod approach was responsible for the failure of the bill. Most appreciated is Torinus’ closing quip ” President Williams gets paid to mine not whine” which [...] |
