REMINDER: Today is the LAST DAY to get the Early Bird Rate for the RedState Gathering. Read about it here, or sign up right away here!Today is March 31st. On this date in 1889, the Eiffel Tower had its first official tour, as Gustave Eiffel led a group of reporters and city officials throughout the structure. The ascent to the top was accomplished by stairs, as the elevators weren’t yet working. If I had to lead a group of people to the top of what is essentially an 81-story building, there’d need to be sherpas and possibly a yak, and it would probably still end in cannibalism and search parties. Also on this date, in 1536, philosopher René Descartes was born in France. Descartes was a drunken fart, who once famously said “I drink, therefore I am.” Truly a visionary. And finally, today is World Backup Day, and National Bunsen Burner Day. Way to go out on an exciting note, March! Consider this an Open Thread.

    I posted it on a liberal mommy blog site (that has actually already had one member suggest I be banned.). As they were questioning whether kids should be involved in campaigns. The reason for the question was Rick Santorum’s comment about Malia’s vacation to Mexico while the State Dept. advises against it.

      That’s awesome.

    The Big Journalism article is about Mr. John “Sly” Sylvester, yet another one of these nasty left-wing talk show hosts who hates–literally hates–conservatives with a passion.

    He was recently diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)–a.k.a. Lou Gehrig’s disease.

    So far, his treatments have not worked. He’s got maybe 5 years left.

    BUT it would never occur to me to take pleasure in the physical suffering of Sylvester or any other liberal.

    As reporter Theodore H. White noted even 40 years ago, these New Left types have the same attitude as the old Communists: We are the inevitable wave of the future, and anyone who gets in our way is to be crushed mercilessly.

    Having a terminal illness hasn’t given Mr. Sylvester any more reverence for human life, unfortunately. I won’t take pleasure in the suffering of a dying man. Let him answer to God.

      Sorry, wrong John Sly Sylvester.

      Boy do I have egg on my face.

    would turn a person away from receiving medical care, if for no other reason than law suits, though I give more credit than that. It’s not just emergency room treatment either. But people have to have a bogey man to attack.
    Does the AFL-CIO thug have explanations for all the blacks who are killed by blacks? Wish somebody would have put it to her.

    Freshman Sen. Ron Johnson told NBC?s Meet the Press Sunday he is endorsing Mitt Romney in the GOP race for president.

    Johnson is at least the third congressional Republican from the state to get behind Romney in recent days. Janesville?s Paul Ryan endorsed Romney Friday and Jim Sensenbrenner of Menomonee Falls told the audience at the Waukesha County GOP Lincoln/Reagan dinner Saturday that he would be voting for Romney.
