» California Dreamin’ — Rachel Maddow and Gov. Moonbeam Cover Up the Real ACORN Scandal - Big Journalism

» California Dreamin’ — Rachel Maddow and Gov. Moonbeam Cover Up the Real ACORN Scandal - Big Journalism: "Did those employees commit a crime in offering to help O’Keefe and Giles themselves? Of course not, because O’Keefe and Giles weren’t actually a pimp and prostitute. All conspiracy crimes (which this would have been) require that there be an underlying criminal act – if no such criminal act exists, then conspiracy cannot be prosecuted. This makes sense. If you and I have a conspiracy to go to Baskin-Robbins, it is not a criminal conspiracy because no criminal act was ever in the offing. If a guy solicits an undercover police officer posing as a 12-year-old girl online, that’s not a crime unless the state legislature has specifically carved out such a situation. Similarly, in this case, no criminal act was in the offing because O’Keefe and Giles were never going to set up a whorehouse."

This is good.
It's also sad as it exemplifies the disconnect between our college student's education and the realities of post graduate life.

The good news: Another choice for consumers and competition for Verizon and Comcast.

The bad news: They don't have their coverage map up.

That seems odd to me.

If they have pricing and "experience", why not give future customers a heads up?

And this link came from the Muskegon county main website,
http://www.co.muskegon.mi.us/.

Is this an inside deal with the county commissioners and county money?

I'll try to find out.

Who’s Looking Out For You: Is the American Media Corrupt?

Who’s Looking Out For You: Is the American Media Corrupt?
"Today, we have a problem in America.
Entire news operations are devoting themselves not to reporting events honestly, but to promoting a certain ideology or party.

The Fox News Channel, where I work, has been accused of this.
But a study by the Center for Media and Public Affairs found that FNC’s coverage of the 2008 presidential campaign was tough on both candidates, while most other news networks blatantly favored Obama."

"The statement has been made."

Classical Values :: "The statement has been made."
"I've been reading about a rash of fires started by arsonists in Flint, Michigan.
There have been so so many fires in recent weeks that it's hard to give an exact count.

But what I find especially ominous are local news reports quoting Flint officials as saying the arson was committed for political purposes, apparently in retaliation over the fact that the City of Flint has laid off fireworkers."

Sense of Events: A world without nuclear weapons, part 2

Sense of Events: A world without nuclear weapons, part 2\
"From the first world war to the second was only 20 years.
World War II ended almost immediately after the first (and thankfully only) use of atomic weapons.
It's been 65 years since the end of the second world war.
There has been no third world war.
I don't mean that the past six decades have been unicorns and rainbows, but can you imagine what a third world war might have been like even if fought with only conventional weapons?
By Donald Sensing"

Andy Dillon campaigning for Michigan Governor's seat: The state must face tax increases
Speaker of the House Andy Dillon addressed the Muskegon County Democratic Party's monthly meeting Thursday, telling those present
state leaders must make difficult choices on tax increases to rescue its budget.
Dillon admitted it was going to be a tough election cycle for the party.
Despite the problems facing the states economy and its government, the former steel company president and GE Capital executive said a new Democratic administration can go a long way in creating jobs and shoring up state and local governments.
'I think it is fixable,' Dillon told the gathering at Muskegon's CIO Hall. 'This is the most important election in my lifetime.'"

The federal stimulus act has performed “exactly” as the Obama administration expected it to, Council of Economic Advisers Chairwoman Christina Romer said Sunday.

Right.
The “stimulus” didn’t just perform “within our strict margin of error” or, simply, “admirably”.
No, Romer’s going all in for her shot at The Nobel Prize for Hubris in Economics here with “exactly“.
According to the bogus Office of the President-Elect back in January of 2009, THAT DARK BLUE LINE, BELOW is what the Obama administration expected the “stimulus” to do, per Romer:"
