What the…? Just had a link to this site sent to me by my brother-in-law: DefendRush.org. Yes, THAT Rush. Rush Limbaugh. Click through. You won’t believe it. : )

Missed us by THAT much Last night, the village of Dexter where I live was hit by an F3 tornado. The two blue Xs are where the touchdowns occurred and the red X is where I live, less than a mile away. The upper left blue X is near the Dexter Mill. The lower right X is the neighborhood of […]

A tornado hit the village of Dexter, MI a mere six miles from my house. My wife Anne C. Savage shot this video of some of the damage. Dexter village is completely shut down. There is a major gas leak that is in risk of exploding. A Huron Valley Hospital mobile unit went by our house just a short time […]

That’s the way, uh-huh, uh-huh, I like it. Uh-huh. Michigan Senator Debbie Stabenow released this awesome campaign video at the Michigan Democratic Party Nominating Convention last Saturday and now it’s available for everyone to see. What I love most about it is that it is POSITIVE. It’s a sharp contrast to Pete Hoekstra (who?) and his racist, xenophobic, lying ad […]

I’ve laid off nine police officers. I’ve laid off four […]

A Consent Agreement by any other name is still an Emergency Manager Yesterday, Michigan Governor Rick Snyder presented a Consent Agreement to the city of Detroit. You can read the 26-page Consent Agreement HERE (pdf). HuffPo Detroit has a great run-down of the key parts of the Consent Agreement HERE. There’s some surprisingly egregious stuff in there. Whoa. Here’s the […]

Rick, you’ve been Romney’d All the headlines this morning are blaring “RICK SANTORUM WON THE DAY AND YES I’M SHOUTING!!! [Image credit: Daily Kos via Newseum] But they are wrong. As it turns out, even in Mississippi where Santorum got the most votes, Mitt Romney walked away with more delegates that poor Rick. In fact, yesterday Romney ended up with […]

Dunt, dunt, dunt. Another one bites the dust. In the never-ended steamroller crushing municipal debt, another Detroit-area city, Allen Park, appears to now be headed down the road toward the imposition of an Emergency Manager. This one may be voluntary. The Allen Park City Council Tuesday voted unanimously to start the process that could put the city on track for […]
