Tonight at 7:00 p.m., I will join Bonnie Bucqueroux from Lansing Online News in the studio of WLNZ 89.7 in Lansing to talk about blogging, Michigan politics and the ongoing situation in Benton Harbor. You can listen to it live HERE and it will be archived HERE, as well.

A video from yesterday’s protest at the Blossomtime Grand Floral parade as it enters Benton Harbor, created by my friend Extreme Liberal. Watch his webpage over the next few days for more photos and vids. If you look closely during the first 15 seconds of the video, you’ll see a guy in a yellow ball cap and grey t-shirt. That’s […]

In addition to my blogging, as well as my wife’s, a number of other bloggers were on the scene recording the day’s events at the Blossomtime Grand Floral parade in St. Joseph/Benton Harbor. Anne will have many more photos up later today or tomorrow so be sure to check out her blog over the next few days (and beyond, of […]

Before we hit the road for Benton Harbor this morning, I thought I’d put down a few thoughts that have been running around my brain for the past week or two regarding the situation in Benton Harbor. First of all, I wanted to address something that State Representative for the Benton Harbor area, Al Pscholka, said on his Facebook page […]

The Maddow Blog has a great juxtaposition of the steady increase in the number of private sector jobs since Barack Obama took office and John Boehner’s monthly statement about how bad things are. It’s pretty clear that Boehner has basically written the entire year’s worth of statements already because they all sound the same and sound as lame. They are […]

So, if you’ve been just dying to know more about who I am and what motivates me, head over to the most-awesome A2Politico blog where yours truly was recently interviewed. Please tell me I don’t come across as an egotistical attention whore. That was supposed to be my secret.

As I have been talking about, Michigan Governor Rick Snyder and State Representative Al Pscholka are scheduled to be in tomorrow’s Blossomtime Grand Floral Parade that starts in St. Joseph and ends in Benton Harbor.

My wife, Anne Savage, has started a new blog at her Anne Savage Photography website called Politics in Pictures which features her political photography. She has some amazing photos from last weekend’s march and rally in Benton Harbor. I won’t spoil the surprise by showing you the best stuff. Instead, I highly commend your attention to her blog HERE.

I have 86ed two of them but the problem may not be resolved yet. If you get any warnings from your antivirus software while you […]
