Weekly Wrap-Up

This week we saw the Tea Party once again flex its muscles...

And we saw the American people flock to Chick-Fil-A to take a stand for freedom of speech and religion. Did Christine Quinn and her fellow censors get the message?

Today’s unemployment numbers confirm the utter failure of Obama-nomics: The unemployment rate continues to creep upward, and job creation is still tepid.

I hope you have a good book to read this weekend, and that you’ll make it a great one!
