Andrew G. Bostom "Even if Newt Gingrich decides not to seek the Republican Presidential nomination, he has set the standard for honest and informed discussion of Islamic totalitarianism which should be expected of all contenders -- a standard Mitt Romney fails, miserably."

Government Unions 101: What Public-Sector Unions Won't Tell You
Heritage "Private vs. Public-Sector: Unions operate differently in government than in the private sector. Private-sector unions bargain over limited profits. Competition from other businesses moderates wage demands. Governments earn no profits and have no competition. Government unions negotiate for more tax dollars.
"Risking Public Services: When government unions strike, they can deprive citizens of essential services—such as education for children—until demands are met."
Protestors damage Madison capitol to the tune of $7.5 million "Perhaps the state should bill the unions for the damage, no matter what the cost. What Wisconsin has already spent on clean up after these juveniles should probably be added to the bill too."
On the other hand... These people would disagree. Time will tell.

Oil's surge felt by drivers, fliers and shoppers
Yahoo News "Retail consultant John Haber said online florists, pizza delivery companies, trash collectors, cruise lines and taxi drivers raised rates in 2008 as gasoline and diesel jumped above $4 per gallon. The rise in oil this year "is going to trigger the exact same type of behavior," said Haber, a partner at NPI. Diesel fuel, used by truckers, railroads and cruise ships, is up to $3.78 per gallon.
"Already, the impact can be seen at the grocery store, where consumers buy lettuce, onions, strawberries, avocados, eggplant, and other produce shipped from Mexico and California, Haber said."

Records show agents fired beanbags in fatal border gunfight
Arizona Daily Star "But Terry's brother, Kent Terry, said the other agents who were there that night told him that they were instructed to use the non-lethal beanbags first. It's a policy that doesn't make sense to Kent Terry.
""You go up against a bandit crew that is carrying AKs, and you walk out there with guns loaded with beanbags - I don't get it," Terry said in a phone interview from Michigan. "It's like going to the Iraqi war with one knife. It boggles my mind. ... These guys (Border Patrol agents) are professionals; they should be able to use their judgment call on their own.""

Heritage "Since President Barack Obama was sworn into office, the private sector workforce has shrunk by 2.6 percent while shedding 2.9 million jobs, but the federal workforce (excluding Census and Postal workers) has grown by 7 percent while adding more than 144,000 jobs."
