As Our World Turns

• Egypt turned upside-down
• Angry Libyan citizens being shot down by soldiers and mercenaries on the ground, in helicopters and planes
• Four Americans killed by Somali pirates
• Protests continue in Bahrain, no end in sight

Here at home...

• Thousands of public and private union members in Wisconsin protest proposed changes while all their Democrat State Senators hide and refuse to do their jobs
• In Ohio, more thousands protest union-busting bills in the legislature
• Following the lead of their Wisconsin cohorts, 67 Indiana House Democrats are leaving the state, in hiding, so the legislature doesn't have a quorum  
• Gasoline prices in the U.S. expected to keep rising with the Middle East unrest; $4 a gallon this year???
• California, New Jersey, Hawaii, Ohio and more states are in danger of total insolvency
• While one-quarter of the counties in the U.S. are losing population (story here)
