As goes Michigan, so goes the country?

Cross-posted at Blogging For Michigan. As I sit here in frigid Michigan this morning, I’m contemplating the state of our state. And pondering if we are, perhaps, a bellwether for the rest of the country, particularly in terms of Democrats and our political future. It’s a mixed bag in Michigan, to be sure. As I blogged about last week, there’s […]

Bart Stupak may run for governor of Michigan

Bart Stupak may run for governor of Michigan

No. Seriously. The author of the Coathanger Amendment to the House version of the health insurance reform bill himself is considering a run for Michigan governor in 2010. Dude, you can not be serious. Michigan’s gubernatorial race, particularly on the Democratic side, is shaping up to be an utter clown show as it is: Lt. Governor John Cherry has dropped […]

Obama=Bush! Remember when…? That was awesome

This Obamabot finally has to admit it: President Barack H. Obama is exactly like President George W. Bush. After the Christmas Day Underpants Bombing, President Obama held a press conference where he said: The bottom line is this: The U.S. government had sufficient information to have uncovered this plot and potentially disrupt the Christmas Day attack. But our intelligence community […]

GOP Rep. Rogers: “They just sentenced to death 36K women”

GOP Rep. Rogers: “They just sentenced to death 36K women”

My former U.S. Representative Mike Rogers stopped by the offices of the Livingston Press & Argus yesterday to throw some poop on health care reform. Not only did he throw poop, he told several bald-faced lies including this one: He said a government-appointed panel’s conclusion that women need fewer mammograms at certain ages would be incorporated in the bills. Rogers, […]

The Lunatic Went Down to Georgia

The Lunatic Went Down to Georgia

It had been awhile since I checked in with National Security expert Super PatriotTM freaking moonbat that is Charlie Daniels (yes, that Charlie Daniels) so I thought I’d hop on over to his website and see what type of drivel he was serving up for the New Year. Mr. Daniels has a blog where he spews his very own special […]

That’s what I heard. From some guy who read it on a blog on the internets. And Obama told the guy who gave him the PDB to go Cheney […]

Dogs have a bigger carbon footprint than SUVs???!

Dogs have a bigger carbon footprint than SUVs???!

I wasn’t sure how to break THIS NEWS to my two dogs. [S]pecialists in sustainable living at Victoria University of Wellington, analysed popular brands of pet food and calculated that a medium-sized dog eats around 164 kilos (360 pounds) of meat and 95 kilos of cereal a year. Combine the land required to generate its food and a “medium” sized […]

Blog facelift

I’ve revamped my blog for the first time in forever. A friend of mine made me realize that the light font on dark back ground is very difficult for some folks with certain eye issues to read and actually was triggering migraines for her. Eep! Anyway, please give me feedback on this design. I’m not 100% happy with it but […]

Barack Obama: Scapegoat

I’m frankly puzzled by the meme that the debacle that is the Congressional debate on health insurance reform is President Obama’s fault. Let’s review: Not one single Republican has supported it with votes (outside of Snowe allowing a vote to go forward which she subsequently voted “NO!” on.) The major evisceratory surgeries on the legislation have been primarily to appease […]
