A bill limiting Collective bargaining for public employee unions has passed the Wisconsin senate without presence of the Democrats.

Maine gets break in federal health care overhaul – CNBC.
Another Obamacare waiver for the whole state of Maine! This will be a three year reprieve from the requirement that insurers spend “80 to 85 cents of every premium dollar on medical care and quality improvement”. It includes a review in two years.
This was provided in the face of the threat that MEGA Life and Health Insurance, which provides 37 percent of the states insurance for individuals would withdraw entirely from the market.
The plan for Obamacare had been that insurance companies could survive until the the government had organized sufficiently to take on the single payer system. This is obviously not working.
NPR president Vivian Schiller resigns | Poynter..
It’s imploding over there at NPR in the wake of James O’Keefe and Co’s latest caper, embarrassing two top execs of the fundraising department.

Rush Limbaugh will celebrate his “I told you so”, Guantanamo Bay preservation moment with his listeners and very few others.
NewsBusters catches the media, which formerly covered Guantanamo obsessively under the Bush administration, almost completely ignoring Obama’s 180 degree turn on the issue.
Asked how he had been so sure that Guantanamo would never be closed down, Rush Limbaugh attributed it to his understanding that liberals always lie. He stated that using this premise, a person would be right far more often than they would be wrong.
Given Limbaugh’s record on predicting future events in politics, one has to grant credit where it is due.

Posing as members of MEAC, a fake Muslim group funding education, (complete with phony website) two Veritas ‘agents’ proffer funding to NPR, and obtain all sorts of fun statements from the two NPR execs that would never have been offered up to the public under normal circumstances. The video ends with a “to be continued…..” so keep your eyes open for more.
Schiller, who is said to have already announced plans to leave NPR by May, has been instructed to leave earlier than originally intended by CEO Vivian Schiller (not a relative).
