As I wrote last week, <a href="http://www.sunshinestatesarah.com/2015/09/to-every-thing-there-is-season.html">I've moved on from Breitbart</a> and I'm now contributing at several different sites now.<br>
<br>
I'll have some more news to share soon but wanted to thank all of my followers who have cheered me on and continued to read my work at other sites. I also wanted to make sure you saw some of my latest work, in case you missed it.<br>
<br>
I've been hanging out at a Starbucks today, keeping myself highly caffeinated and typing away. There will be several more pieces coming under my byline from various corners of the internet soon, so stay tuned.<br>
<br>
(As always, the best way to stay up-to-date is to follow me on <a href="https://twitter.com/rumpfshaker">Twitter</a> or <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sunshinestatesarah?ref=bookmarks">Facebook</a>. Everything gets posted there first.)<br>

A certain South Florida blogger decided this week to attempt to capitalize on the story about two staffers from the Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) campaigns getting into an altercation at a bar on Mackinac Island, Michigan, by inserting himself into the story and telling his own salacious tale of how Rubio has a "thug" of a campaign manager.<br>

I had the privilege of knowing Andrew Breitbart before he left us <a href="http://www.sunshinestatesarah.com/2012/03/we-have-lost-giant-rip-andrew-breitbart.html">far too early back in 2012</a>, and it truly has been an honor to have <a href="http://t.co/PJlCL8yhwV">my byline</a> on the website he founded during this past year.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">
<br></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">
But, as the Bible verse (and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turn!_Turn!_Turn!">song</a>) says, to every thing there is a season, and the season of my time as a writer with Breitbart has come to an end.</div>

<div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">
Yesterday's Houston Chronicle included an article about women who were protesting for "National Equal Pay Day" and urging Texas lawmakers to pass equal pay legislation, an issue that seems to be the new favorite for Texas Democrats this election year:</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">

The fact that the 77 cent figure is complete nonsense is well-documented (if you made it here to my little corner of the internet, I assume you know how to Google. If not, check out <a href="http://www.txbiz.org/wcnews/NewsArticleDisplay.aspx?articleid=503">here</a>, <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2014/03/17/77-Cents-Worth-of-Lies">here</a>, <a href="http://www.redstate.com/2014/04/09/nrsc-democrats-senators-equal-pay-hypocrites/">here</a>, <a href="http://billmoyers.com/2014/04/08/debunking-the-myth-of-a-mythical-gender-pay-gap/">here</a>, and <a href="http://thefederalist.com/2014/04/09/what-everyones-missing-in-the-equal-pay-debate/">here</a>, for starters.) but what I found hysterical about this article is <b>the reporter was covering a group of people who traveled to Houston to protest for equal pay legislation, but couldn't find a single woman who really needed the protection of a new law.</b></div>

I've read a few reviews of the new Noah movie now, most of which express some combination of incredulity and irritation at the - shall we say - "creative license" that they took with the well-known Biblical story of the guy who built a gigantic boat and gathered up critters two by two because God told him it was going to rain.<br>
<br>
(FYI, the absolute best, IMHO, is <a href="http://www.redstate.com/2014/03/27/darren-aronofskys-noah/">Erick Erickson's hysterical review at RedState</a>, in which he says "I am not kidding." about a hundred times as he takes you step-by-step through the magical creatures, inexplicably out-of-character decisions by various people, unicorn genocide, and other oddities.)<br>
<br>
Well, I think I figured it out.<br>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">March 1 marked a sad anniversary: two years since Andrew Breitbart passed away at the far-too-young age of 43. This morning, as we launch this year's <a href="http://cpac.org/">CPAC</a>, I look back on Andrew’s legacy, what it meant, and what it can continue to mean for Texas and America.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Andrew was the quintessential “Happy Warrior,” a phrase immortalized in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_of_the_Happy_Warrior">William Wordsworth's poem</a>, which defines the Happy Warrior as a “generous Spirit:”</span><br>

If Alex Sink thought she'd have an easy path to Congress in Florida's 13th District, she was badly mistaken. Perhaps realizing she cannot run from her past support for Obamacare, she instead continues to enthusiastically promote it during her campaign, leading to awkward moments such as a recent interview in which she referred to job losses caused by Obamacare as "<a href="http://www.bizpacreview.com/2014/02/15/fla-dem-alex-sink-increased-unemployment-from-obamacare-an-exciting-prospect-100776">an exciting prospect</a>."<br>
<br>
This disconnect with the unpopularity of Obamacare creates an opportunity for Sink's Republican challenger David Jolly and his supporters. American Crossroads released an ad today, titled "Sunk," featuring compelling interviews with Pinellas County seniors that highlight other troubling details from Sink's record:<br>

We've spent the past few years watching conservatives argue that Obamacare would have disastrous effects on the health care system, in no small part because it imposes a massive regulatory burden on medical providers and insurance companies. Obama and his Democrat Congresscritters have discounted such concerns, characterizing this as a necessary sacrifice to provide health care to Americans.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">
<br></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">
We see a similar debate regarding environmental issues, where liberal environmentalists preach that the high cost of complying with an increasingly meddlesome and arbitrary EPA is a burden rightfully borne by those evil corporations. </div>

Now, after the U.S. Supreme Court allowed HB2 (Texas' new law restricting abortions after five months unless the life of the mother was at risk and requiring certain safety standards at clinics) to take effect, the media are reporting that "<a href="http://www.myfoxaustin.com/story/24017585/supreme-court-lets-texas-abortion-law-stay-for-now">at least 12 Texas abortion clinics have been closed</a>."</div>

<i><b>Isn't that just fascinating? I mean, not a single word in HB2 required any clinics to close, so what's happening here?</b></i></div>

In the early 1990s, the Mattel toy company found itself in hot water when the phrases spoken by the "Teen Talk" Barbie doll included "<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/1992/10/21/business/company-news-mattel-says-it-erred-teen-talk-barbie-turns-silent-on-math.html?scp=1">Math class is tough!</a>"<br>
<br>
Mattel removed the offensive quote from Barbie's repertoire, but it looks like they may need to start manufacturing that doll again for young Democrat ladies.<br>
