Three Cheers for Michigan House Democrats

Three Cheers for Michigan House Democrats [Mackinac Center]
"The great news here is that House Democrats have Republican colleagues in Lansing who are also troubled by the MEDC’s lack of transparency and accountability.
State Rep. Bob Genetski, State Rep. Mike Shirkey and State Rep. Tom McMillin have all taken issue with the MEDC’s lack of transparency."

Can Robert Menendez survive?

Can Robert Menendez survive? - Ginger Gibson and John Bresnahan - POLITICO.com
"In a state with a colorful history, it takes a lot for a New Jersey politician to cross the line into political toxicity.
Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez has found himself at the center of a growing controversy, with accusations swirling of a questionable friendship with a Florida eye surgeon being investigated for Medicare fraud, improper flights to the Dominican Republic and alleged patronizing of prostitutes — including underage girls — while in the Caribbean nation.
In some states, these allegations — and the fact the Senate Ethics Committee has joined federal investigators in looking into the explosive claims — would be enough to sink Menendez.
But in New Jersey, that may not be enough to topple the Hudson County political boss, who runs the political machine for a part of Jersey known for being rough and tumble and who easily won reelection last year."

LIBERTY REVIEW

LIBERTY REVIEW:
"The dictator in chief has never hidden his agenda. 
He played on the hopes and fears of the people of this nation to achieve his goals. 
He took advantage of the poor. 
By promising them benefit after benefit he effectively told them they weren’t capable of taking care of themselves. "

Casual Sex on Facebook. It's a thing.

Casual Sex on Facebook. It's a thing. | Love + Sex - Yahoo! Shine
"Three unidentified California college buddies have developed a Facebook app called Bang With Friends to connect people who want to have sex with each other.
Here's how it works: People anonymously select those on their friend list who they'd like to sleep with, then the app notifies the two people if they've selected each other.
The app only launched last week but it's already racked up over 20,000 users and facilitated 1,000 hookups, according to The Daily Beast.
The goal is to take the rejection out of asking a totally random person on your friend list for sex (because a request like that is always a tad awkward) and to "cut to the chase" (because who has time to date anymore?)
“[Sex] should be something you’re expressive about, that you’re comfortable with, and if there’s a beautiful woman or a handsome man that you’re interested in, you shouldn’t hold back,” said one of the app’s creators. “We’re just giving you closer access to knowing the truth."
