Via MacIver: First, opponents of Governor Walker disrupted a ceremony honoring the Special Olympics. Now, on Thursday, AFSCME and other liberal protesters picketed Opportunities Inc., a business that makes a point of hiring people with special needs.

Interesting that the Tea Party is getting the blame for the looming gridlock but as of last night every Democrat in both the House and Senate is on record opposed to the debt plan advanced by Speaker Boehner. Obama has no plan at all. Charles Krauthammer makes one final case for the Boehner plan.

UPDATE: State Rep. Sandy Pasch is listed as a member of the Board of Directors of Citizens Action, the group that held this demonstration and has been spending big bucks on Pasch's behalf. BTW: it is illegal for third party groups to 'coordinate" their activities with candidates.

As the clock winds down, Charles Krauthammer tries to be the voice of reason, telling tea party supporters to playn for a win in 2012... not in a fight they cannot win right now.

As much progress as we've made, Wisconsin has a long way to go: We still have the fourth highest state/local tax burden in the country.

I'm not alone is finding it quite revealing how viscerally the left is reacting to Wisconsin's remarkably good jobs numbers. By Any Means Necessary has apparently morphed into No Good News if Good News Helps Walker. Yes, they can be overhyped,but the numbers are striking: 12,900 private sector jobs created... a net increase of 9,500, while the rest of the country is stuck in neutral. Governor Walker will join me at 9:35 to talk about the progress on the jobs front.

My absolute favorite story of the day: In our bid to bubble-wrap children, we have created super-safe playgrounds that, critics now say, "may stunt emotional development, leaving children with anxieties and fears that are ultimately worse than a broken bone."
