The Bishops of the US are--like most of their flocks--VERY unhappy with the Obozo Administration's flagrant violation of the 1st Amendment.
Here's Bp. Zubik of Pittsburgh:
...Let’s be blunt. This whole process of mandating these guidelines undermines the democratic process itself. In this instance, the mandate declares pregnancy a disease, forces a culture of contraception and abortion on society, all while completely bypassing the legislative process.
This is government by fiat that attacks the rights of everyone – not only Catholics; not only people of all religion. At no other time in memory or history has there been such a governmental intrusion on freedom not only with regard to religion, but even across-the-board with all citizens. It forces every employer to subsidize an ideology or pay a penalty while searching for alternatives to heath care coverage. It undermines the whole concept and hope for health care reform by inextricably linking it to the zealotry of pro-abortion bureaucrats.
The Bishop is being charitable, which is his vocation.
Much more from various Bishops here. Obozo will regret this move.

The "Good Citizens" of High-Tech
Just a little Sherman Anti-Trust violation (or 1,000s of them--who knows?)
...Apple, Google, Adobe, Intel, Intuit and other tech firms, it was revealed, had agreements not to poach one another's employees. Technically, the Department of Justice settled an antitrust lawsuit in 2010, but employees who claim they were injured by the arrangement are still fighting for more, with a proposed class-action lawsuit that's having its day in court this month. --Ticker quoting The Verge
Silicon Valley firms were also heavily promoting national health-insurance schemes back in the '90's--as were the Big Three automotives.
About time that it is clear: these assholes are predators, not "capitalists."

Holder Sinks to a New Low (Believe It or Not)
Well, well.
Attorney General Eric Holder’s Department of Justice dumped documents related to Operation Fast and Furious on congressional officials late Friday night. Central to this document dump is a series of emails showing Holder was informed of slain Border Patrol agent Brian Terry’s murder on the day it happened – December 15, 2010 – and that he was informed the weapons used to kill Terry were from Fast and Furious on the same day. --AOSHQ quoting Daily Caller
Holder testified that he didn't know about the Terry/F&F connection until April.
Time for Eric to go.

RomBama Dismisses ObamaCare Concerns
After 10 or 20 years of campaigning for the Presidency, you'd think Romney would get it.
He doesn't.
....Santorum didn't just offer a grazing attack of Romneycare like many other candidates have in prior debates. He got very specific. He noted that it was top-down government control -- from the mandate forcing individuals to purchase health insurance to the expansion of Medicaid. And when Romney tried to wiggle away, and defended the individual mandate making the same arguments as President Obama, Santorum pinned him down, explaining all the problems with the health care system in Massachusetts under the law. Romney's response to Santorum's passionate case against government-run health care was to say, “It’s not worth getting angry about,”...
Perhaps Willard doesn't recall the genesis of the American Revolution, which was a very small tax on tea, along with a Statism which resembles the one Obozo is beginning to impose.
He doesn't.

B.O.M. Goes Apple
Oldsters will recall that the original IBM Bill-of-Material software (BOMP, then DBOMP) was written in Milwaukee by (among others) IBM, Arthur Anderson, Allis-Chalmers, and Allen-Bradley.
Now a Racine firm has replaced the paper BOM with an Apple.
All Wisconsin, all the time....

SCOTUS Makes It Harder for the Snoops
Good ruling.
The United States Supreme Court ruled Monday that when police use GPS tracking devices on suspect vehicles, that does constitute a search. That ruling effectively wipes out a Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling that said the opposite, and could mean big changes for local police.
Some are calling this ruling the biggest Fourth Amendment ruling of the computer age. The U.S. Supreme Court has decided that police will need to get a search warrant from a judge in most cases, before they can stick a GPS tracking device on a suspect's vehicle.
If it's a solid case, the warrant will be issued. Right?

Obama's "American Values": Costly!!
The cost of Obamism (or "American values" as he calls it):
During the same period, the price of ground beef has gone up 24 percent and price of bacon has gone up 22 percent.
That's offset by the cost of Michelle's vacations, of course.
So far, during the presidency of Barack Obama, the price of a gallon of gasoline has jumped 83 percent, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
That's offset by the cost of Michelle's vacations, of course.
