Anderson Cooper says that he's amazed by how viral the video of him giggling has gone. As for how silly it was, he says "I mean, I’ve always giggled like a 13 year-old girl at a Justin Bieber meet and greet. There’s nothing I can do about it but I’ve never not been able to stop." It's sentences like that which will make his daytime show a success.
He'll need it to be a success to pay for continuing restorations on the firehouse he bought to live in. But the outdoor work is done, and the building looks stunning with new windows and the paint stripped from the brick and the stonework.

With the Wisconsin showdown at a fever pitch, Mark McKinnon says America doesn't need public unions anymore-they silence voters' choice, redistribute wealth, and clog the political system.
The manufactured Madison, Wis., mob is not the movement the White House was hoping for. Both may find themselves at the wrong end of the populist pitchfork. While I generally defend collective bargaining and private-sector unions (lots of airline pilots in my family), it is the abuse by public unions and their bosses that pushes centrists like me to the Gop. It is the right and duty of citizens to petition their government. The Tea Party and Republicans seek to limit government growth to protect their pocketbooks. Public-union bosses want to increase the cost of government to protect their racket.
