“This administration says, with the mandate, “you’ll do what we tell you whether...”
– Gov. Mitch Daniels on CNN this morning (2.19.12). Then the HHS mandate isn’t about contraception or “women’s health” after all?
Mmmm, Mmmm, Mmmm . . . Obama's cafeteria police.
People are finally getting the message that the brouhaha between ObamaCare and the Catholic bishops was not about contraception - even if it was part of the plan to change the political subject from Republicans against abortion to Republicans against contraception. (Anyone remember the head-scratcher debate question posed by Clinton operative George Stephanopolos to Mitt Romney?) No, the dispute...
Is Obama a socialist or a despot . . . or a...
President Obama’s recent invasion of the Bill of Rights (abridgement of freedom of worship) is only the latest example of the “new despotism” of his regime. Time to reawaken America. http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/02/the_rising_fever_of_despotism.html

Taxpayer alert: New Trier High School adding IPads...
The Chicago Tribune is reporting that New Trier’s administration is looking at supplying some students with IPads - not just in the classroom but for their 24/7 personal use as well. With this technology solution in hand, now they just have to come up with a curriculum need to match. Maybe they should check with Wilmette District 39, which recently purchased IPads for fifth graders. Guess...
No hope or change in Chicago →
For anyone who thought the OccupyChicago movement had closed down for the winter, watch out: Chicago is hosting what will become an historic uprising by the far left at the May 2012 G8 convention.
Dan Biss is one former U of C math prof who...
Illinois State Rep. Daniel Biss (D) (and current candidate for State Senate in the 9th District) is the poster boy for the Illinois union-muscled political frat that has brought us 1) crushing taxes, 2) fiscal insolvency and 3) pension fund obligations that are absolutely over-whelming.
