Barack Obama: The Undistinguished Gentleman [Karl]: "In his first race for the state Senate in 1996, Obama employed Chicago rules to invalidate the voting petition signatures of three of his challengers, thus running unopposed on the Democratic ticket in a heavily Democrat district:
“That was Chicago politics,” said John Kass, a veteran Chicago Tribune columnist. “Knock out your opposition, challenge their petitions, destroy your enemy, right? It is how Barack Obama destroyed his enemies back in 1996 that conflicts with his message today. He may have gotten his start registering thousands of voters. But in that first race, he made sure voters had just one choice.”
Nothing illegal about it, but nothing particularly inspiring about it, either."

Judge OKs $11M settlement in Va Tech shootings
Judge OKs $11M settlement in Va Tech shootings
"A judge on Tuesday approved an $11 million state settlement with families of most of the victims in last year's Virginia Tech slayings that will avoid a court battle over whether anyone but the gunman was to blame."
A monster invades a university...... and the taxpayers must pay?

Charter Power
Charter Power
"But charters may actually be a greater long-run threat to union power because they empower groups of teachers to run their own schools collegially, without the need for collective bargaining.
If these schools really work for the students, they may be unstoppable. So do they work? In L.A. at least, a new study says they do."

"Obama should come clean on why he sought these radicals' support and, better still, disclose just how he intends to pay them back."
Interesting.
If you're gonna vote, worth a bit of research.

Buying Michigan foods helps keep money in state

"As jobs disappear from Michigan, with workers being forced to take big pay and benefit cuts and as gasoline prices and home foreclosures hit record levels, we look around for anything we can do to combat the helplessness."
Interesting article that acknowledges cuts in worker pay and benefits..... anyone know of any cuts in the public sector pay and benefits?
It is the enormous growth in pay and benefits at every level in Michigan, state/county/city/township/village/schools/etc that is killing our future.
Just like the unions and their greed destroyed the American auto industry.
Will we never learn?

Al Dente: Tater Tots for Adults
Al Dente: Tater Tots for Adults: "Pity those who went to grade school before 1954.
In the same year that 'under God' was added to the Pledge of Allegiance, Tater Tots were added to supermarkets, school lunches, and our nation's gastronomic heritage. Americans now eat 70 million pounds of Ore-Ida's french fry by-product.
For those who think Tater Tots are just for kids, think again. Tots have popped up everywhere from Burger King to your local bar and the interwebs are full of recipes for more grown-up versions of this popular cafeteria staple."

"You are NOT robbing this bank!"
Man Who Pulled Gun on Bank Robber
"Fawzi, who spent six years in the Lebanese army, took matters into his own hands.
He tells WXYZ.com he pulled out a .9 mm handgun (for which he had a CCW permit), racked a bullet in the chamber, pointed it at the man and announced, 'You are not robbing this bank!'
The startled Washtenaw County man countered with, 'but, I have a bomb' -- but Fawzi wasn't impressed. 'I don't care. You are not robbing this bank!' was the reply from the other side of the gun. He then forced the would-be robber into chair and held him at gunpoint until police arrived."
YES!

"Save money or save jobs -- that's the decision facing Muskegon school board members as they plan for the next school year.
Five jobs are on the line, which, if eliminated, would hurt children's education, said Muskegon Public Schools Superintendent Colin Armstrong"
Interesting.
Armstrong admits his move will "hurt children's education" but refuses to explore reducing the increases in teacher pay and benefits in order to save those jobs.
Maybe he's just not serious?
