East of Ginger Tree

To Quote the Gipper
In her first State of the State address, South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley promised to make the "tough but right decisions" to overcome challenges that include budget shortfalls of close to $1 billion…Haley also reiterated the familiar themes of smaller government and spending reform that helped her become South Carolina's first woman governor.

At the state house in Columbia on Wednesday evening, Haley echoed Ronald Reagan's sentiment that "as government expands, liberty contracts." The role of government, she said, is "to secure the rights and freedoms of our people." It was "never intended to be all things to all people." (Politicsdaily.com, 1/20/11)

Why are all the kick-a** governors either Republicans like Haley and Christie or Democrats acting like Republicans (see Andrew Cuomo). Note to the Left: another ethnic woman conservative!

Story Time
This is the story of four ambitious professional women and a maid. The women are Amy Chua, Meg Whitman, Sonia Chang and my wife. They don't share a single maid but a common theme, one true for most hard-charging professional women: Domestic help has been critical in their success as workers and mothers… And in America today, domestic help usually means an immigrant, often here illegally. (Edward Schumacher-Matos, Washington Post, 1/20/11)

RedStateVT doesn’t know about you, but we don’t hear from Schumacher-Matos nearly enough. He provides much needed comic relief and solidifies our views. The theme of this story is: professional women who want to get ahead need to hire an illegal immigrant as a maid!
