NO, NOT THE WOLVERINES …
You won’t hear us yelling “Go Michigan!” very often in the near future … even though our founding editor’s wife, the lovely Mrs. Sic, is a devout Big Blue fan.

Fiscal liberals across America are cheering the public union protests taking place in Wisconsin – many of them foolishly attempting to link them to the mass protests that took place earlier this year in Cairo.
