As events have continued to unfold in Wisconsin this week surrounding legislation that would do away with collective bargaining between government entities and public employees in determining benefits, I have surveyed some of the news coverage. Among the more fascinating reports I watched or read included a woman holding a sign that said, “I’d rather [...]
Possibly one of the better interviews seen on television in a while, if for no other reason than it is a comical illustration of how our media jumps on a bandwagon and considers anyone who points out potential problems to be, at best, outrageous and, at worst, a lunatic.

The 10:10 campaign has a very happy looking website and even now is gaining momentum; the website boasts that nearly 12,000 organizations, businesses, and people “are on [...]
