This is very cool!
Just put your mouse on a city anywhere in the world and the newspaper headlines pop up... Double click and the page gets larger... you can read the entire paper on some if you click on the right place.
Also, if you look at the European papers, the far left side of Germany will pop up as The Stars & Stripes (European edition, of course).. AND, this site changes every day with the publication of new editions of the paper.

State halts practice of giving diplomas to special-education graduates
State halts practice of giving diplomas to special-education graduates-MLive.com
"State law is forcing local high schools to stop their practice of awarding diplomas to all graduating seniors, regardless of their abilities.
That means students with significant cognitive impairments at Muskegon High School will instead receive 'certificates of completion' when they attend commencement along with their classmates.
Muskegon and Muskegon Heights high schools are among very few statewide that have handed out high school diplomas to low-functioning special education students who complete an 'adaptive curriculum.'"
Those Muskegon and Heights grads must be SO proud of their diplomas...
How pathetic!
When will we citizens take back control of our schools from the big education, thug unions?

Interesting.
We spend $3 billion/yr on our roads and this article focuses on the need for MORE money from taxpayers but never questions just how our state spends the $3 billion.
Anyone wanna bet that a full review of how Jenny's bureaucrats spend our tax dollars might just be embarrassing to those who do the spending?

American reliance on government at all-time high
Washington Times - American reliance on government at all-time high
"The so-called 'Great Recession' has left Americans depending on the government dole like never before.
Without record levels of welfare, unemployment and other government benefits as well as tax cuts last year, the income of U.S. households would have plunged by an astonishing $723 billion — more than four times the record $167 billion drop reported last month by the Commerce Department.
Moreover, for the first time since the Great Depression, Americans took more aid from the government than they paid in taxes."

Upate: Grand Haven school board trustee Brandon Hall hasn't ruled out resigning
"In the wake of the school board’s censure for his larceny conviction, a Grand Haven school board member said he would resign if several conditions are met, including him approving whoever replaces him."
Seriously, if this guy isn't booted NOW, we deserve the scum who we so often elect!
Gimme a break!
