See what would have happened if MSU basketball coach Tom Izzo chose stage over court in 'Izzo Goes to Broadway'
"'He's probably one of the easiest people to get a long with,' McCullough says.
'He was on time every day.
He was thrilled to do this. He never complained.'
Except for that frantic sideline dancing on the court, Izzo says his background on the dance floor was 'zero.'
Still, his wife thought 'he did really well.'"

America has good reason to worry about Greece
FT.com / Columnists / Clive Crook - America has good reason to worry about Greece
"At the end of last week, the US looked hard at Greece and was scared.
So tiny an economy should not be bringing all of Europe low and even threatening to explode the euro, but it is.
What started as a US financial crisis plunged Europe into recession; was Europe about to return the compliment?
What, Americans began to wonder, did Europe’s problems tell them about their own?"

RIOTS in Greece, raw panic on Wall Street, voters blocked from the ballot in Britain and an extraordinary backlash against Kevin Rudd's new mining tax back home."

Can the U.S. Avoid European Contagion?
Can the U.S. Avoid European Contagion? The Weekly Standard
"We are all Greeks now.
Or so it would seem if we are guided by the gyrations of share prices.
Or if we believe that today’s Greece is tomorrow’s United States.
After all, we are running Grecian-style deficits, our debt-to-GDP ratio is approaching the magic 90 percent mark that stifles growth and makes it more difficult to bring the budget deficit under control, and the effective U.S. tax rate on new corporate investment is.......almost twice an 80-nation average."

"Union bosses are expected to use the provision to affect corporate boards to force pension fund investors to obtain more seats on those boards and that means union pension funds will suddenly have more influence on business simply because of their influence in Washington."
Why don't we just give the rest of our companies over to Obama and his union thug comrades?
You know, sorta streamline our entire country.....like Greece.

A tough but essential change for retirees
Stephen Henderson: A tough but essential change for retirees
"The Senate proposal also restored dental and vision coverage for teacher retirees; Granholm had proposed eliminating the coverage."
What!!!!
Retired teachers get free, lifetime dental and vision insurance?!!!!!!!!!!
So, do I have this right?
I don't have dental or vision or ANY health insurance paid by my old employer BUT I must pay even MORE in taxes so teachers won't have to pay for their own insurance.
Is that correct?
This is wrong!

Michigan residents' tax burden drops over decade

It says in a recent report that tax burdens have fallen significantly in the state between 1999 and 2009."
This report is a big lie.

Brewer has got a beef with Drolet's piggy pal

"Brewer has got a beef with Drolet's piggy pal
Michigan Democratic Party Chairman Mark Brewer -- in a fit of pique or boredom, it was hard to tell which -- announced last week that he had filed a campaign finance complaint against Leon Drolet, the Macomb County anti-tax activist and former Republican legislator now running for state Senate.
Brewer's accusation?
That the giant, trailer-mounted pink pig Drolet hauls around to promote his campaign failed to include the 'paid for by ... ' disclaimer required of campaign signs.
Asked about the charge, Drolet said he believes Brewer has a 'very personal vendetta against Mr. Perks,' the pig's given name. Mr. Perks is not a sign; he is a registered trailer, Drolet said."
