The Wayne County Executive has got to go and an immediate resignation is the path that he should choose. However, hubris and ego will never let that be the case. As more and more is revealed about what has happened under his leadership, I am surprised that the same people that lined up calling for … Continue Reading →
I have refrained from posting and/or responding to anything political lately because it is sad to read the many comments on here just as it is to hear what is being said on talk radio shows; political shows; in print media and at the debates. Bottom-line, people will vote for whomever they want and for … Continue Reading →
Looking for the mock Washington Post page seen in a previous version of this post? See the explanation here. When Newt Gingrich won South Carolina, I smiled. Mitt’s taxes probably did it. I mean, really. It’s not bad enough that Mitt Romney is still the expected favorite. Florida won’t swing as wildly as Middle Earthburg. … Continue Reading →

Some folks actually tried to tell people this was rigged, but since no one actually vets their … Continue Reading →
The State of the State speech is on. This is a stream-of-consciousness blog, typing until the speech ends, and what I see and hear is pretty much unedited. Enjoy. Lots of clapping, as Governor Snyder introduces Michigan 3.0. Unemployment is now 9.3%, in no small part due to advanced changes and business climate. But also, … Continue Reading →
After a year on the job, Rick Snyder is still a puzzle to political pundits. On the eve of his second State of the State address (SOS), Lansing doesn’t know what he will say. Despite a historic year of legislative accomplishments, the political class finds him opaque. Where is he going? What’ll he do next? … Continue Reading →
