What is the "genuinely conservative" response to last Friday's tragedy? Maybe it's this.... My friend, John Caldara's moving essay on our need to grieve before we act.

Governor Scott Walker appeared in-studio Tuesday to reflect on a memorable 2012 that saw him become the nation's first governor to survive a recall election. I also asked him about the proposal to allow teachers to carry guns in schools. You can listen to the whole interview here: http://www.620wtmj.com/podcasts/talk/charliesykes/183977201.html

As usual, Milwaukee Sheriff David Clarke minces no words, and predictably his reaction to the Newtown shootings has inspired an unhinged reaction from the usual precincts of the unhinged left. Here is the full text of Clarke's statement:

Stocking stuffer? Last minute gift for the guy who already has a new electric shaver? Nervous about choosing jewelry. How about their very own copy of A Nation of Moochers? Amazon is offering copies for as low as $17.15..

As the debate over guns heats up, it's worth noting how Governor Scott Walker last year broke with the NRA on one of it's major initiatives here.

We're re getting closer to the full launch of RightWisconsin. Many of you have been getting our daily newsletters, which will continue. But you really haven't seen anything yet. The full site will be a one-stop, full service site for conservative free market ideas in a state that will continue to be Ground Zero in American politics.

I'm sure if I did a deep enough google search, I'd find some reference to stem cells coming up during the recent campaign, but I honestly can't recall any candidate raising the issue. The blogs were silent. A campaign in which every conceivable social edge issue was deployed observed almost complete radio silence on the issue that just a few years ago riled the political world.

The dead tree features a picture of Jeanine Tracy (on the right) celebrating the firing of a Milwaukee police officer who struck her while she was in custody. She apparently feels completely vindicated.

Perhaps if our somnolent senior senator had been paying attention when he helped ram through Obamacare, he would have noticed that he was voting for "job killing" new levies.. Now, belatedly, Kohl and 15 other Dem senators --all of whom voted for the taxes -- are pleading with the White House to delay the tax on medical devices.

So $1 million is just not enough for Barry Alvarez? He needs to pay himself an additional $225,000 for coaching the Rose Bowl? For years, Alvarez worked as both athletic director and head UW coach coach for a single salary.

...that those darn right wingers might just have a point about the perverse incentives of the welfare system. Well, sort of admits. But this is an interesting concession coming from an uber-progressive like Nicholas Kristof. Next thing you know, he'll be using words like... "moocher."

A drop in the unemployment rate to 7.7% sounds like good news, until you realize that the rate drop is driven in part by the disappearance of yet more workers from the work force. In November, another 350,000 workers vanished from the labor market. This has become a familiar story.
