Click the pic for a larger version Rare to see, even more rare to photograph. My wife and I saw this wonderful sight of a brandy-new just-born baby goose peaking out from his mother’s wing while kayaking last Friday. And Anne was there to get the shot. Q: Does it get any cuter than this? A: No. I’m just sayin’…

Please Digg this blog entry HERE. Thanks! For those attending the 2010 Spring Commencement ceremony at the University of Michigan, the day started around 4 a.m. We arrived at the U of M football stadium, “The Big House” (capacity: 108,000), at 6 a.m. to pick up our press credentials. The rain started shortly thereafter and we spent the next three […]

Sometimes blogging has its privileges. My wife, a fabulous photographer, and I have media passes to see President Obama’s commencement address to the graduating class of the University of Michigan tomorrow. With Michigan at the absolute bottom of the pile in terms of unemployment, home foreclosures devastating our neighborhoods and businesses hurting in every part of the state, big and […]

I posted blog entry yesterday where I highlighted the out-of-touch nature of a GOP candidate in my Congressional district (MI-07) with regard to the new health insurance reform law. On my Facebook page, I got an earful from a guy who said this about it: It uses 10 years of tax receipts to pay for 6 years of benefits – […]

On Monday night, former MI-07 Congressman Tim Walberg (shown here with his friend Michele Bachman who, thankfully, did not attend), held a “townhall” meeting in Chelsea, MI to discuss “repealing and replacing the recently passed health care bill.” Given that Barack Obama will be president after the November elections, the premise of the townhall was pretty bizarre to begin with. […]

Or maybe I should call this “Of chickens and Republicans and roosting”. From the Associated Press comes this article today: Republicans suffering for 2008 bank bailout vote: Some of Congress’ staunchest conservatives voted two years ago to prop up the nation’s banking industry. At the time, they saw a threat to American business. Now the emergency is their own political […]

I have a friend over at Daily Kos. He’s a great writer and frequent contributor to Kos. He’s handicapped and gay and that gives him an interesting perspective on the world. He’s also lacking funds that will allow him to attend the Netroots Nation 2010 conference in July. I’ll be attending and a guy like him should be there, too. […]

On the heels of good news that I reported in my blog entry two days ago about GM, now comes Ford. And Ford comes in a Big Way: Ford, a year ago in danger of being dragged down with a collapse of its nearly bankrupt Detroit rivals, is projected to report nearly $1 billion in first-quarter profits Tuesday, the strongest […]

I realize pretty much everyone on the internet but me has seen this but, just in case you’re one of the few that, like me, ducked when this Awesome Ball came toward you, have a look. “Imagine if the Tea Party Was Black” – Tim Wise Tim Wise is a white guy who writes about racism (his blog is HERE.) […]

Our (not) good friend from Michigan’s 7th district, one-term former Congressman Tim Walberg, is holding a series of town hall meetings that “will focus on repealing and replacing the recently passed health care bill.” What is it about democracy that these Republicans hate so much? Because it means they lose sometimes??? Tim Walberg, as you may know, is the man […]

I love my Washington Times Marketing Showcase email membership. It’s an endless source of entertainment. Just before I left work yesterday I got this amazing email: Millionaire Patriot Wants YOU Armed and Trained… Yup, that’s right boyz and girlz! FREE GUNS FOR TEABAGGERS!!! Now comes Dr. Ignatius Piazza, Founder and Director, Four Weapons Combat Master. And he’s so freakin’ rich […]
