Oba-manians on endorphins?
How else do we explain the lack of SCREAMING OUTRAGE at Hillary stealing the Michigan delegates?
He played by the rules and she cheated.
ELECTION 2008: Mich. delegates may get seats, though it's unclear how: "Pretty much everyone expects some or all of Michigan's delegates to be seated at this summer's Democratic presidential nominating convention in Denver."
GordoM-would-be-grumpy......big-time

BLACKFIVE: American Alienation
A bit long but WELL worth your time.
Show it to the kids.
BLACKFIVE: American Alienation: "Wow! This is one of the coolest videos I have seen. It does a beautiful job of skewering the weakness of the left's arguments in a stylish and entertaining way. I don't know who Kafir Alalazoo is, but I like what he's doing."

Michigan taxes are killing our state!
When will Jenny start shouting "We're number one!"?
Taxes, rules sink Michigan with CEOs: "in the minds of 605 of the country's chief executives. Michigan was rated the third worst state to do business in behind New York and California, down from fifth worst last year, according to Chief Executive magazine's annual poll of business executives"

Pay equity. Death to Michigan?
Seriously, folks.
This could move the entire economy of Michigan to the level of Detroit.
Core Principles: On today's agenda: "we should let the government, through a commission which is tilted to the left, tell the private sector how much they should pay their employees."

Michigan Math. Good news/Bad news?
The good news: The kid (or a kid surrogate) can write a short letter to the editor.
The bad news: He's in a class that "gives.....lots of hope and self-esteem". Proficiency
in math might be the better "gift".
The worse news: Our local paper printed this feel-good pap.
The even worse news: Only 53% of our kids meet or exceed MEAP math standards.... after 13 or MORE years in our public school disaster.

Student gives a big shout-out to math - mlive.com:
"I'd like to give thanks to my 5th-grade teacher Mr. Carter, math teacher of 'Sharks' at Reeths-Puffer Intermediate school. This man has given me lots of hope and self-esteem.
I love his class. I look forward to having his class every day. He is a good friend to everybody. I'm sure everybody loves him. Woo-hoo, let's go to math!

What, no Communist Party on the ballot?
Since Paul Keep has joined The Muskegon Chronicle, its leftward dive has been breathtaking.
I doubt that the current Democrat Party is left enough for Keep and his comrades.

Maybe that's why Mr Keep didn't vote in the primary?
Chronicle editors beyond left? - mlive.com:
"Letterwriter is right, The Chronicle is 'left'
Mr. Gray's letter published Jan. 17 was right on the money. His letter takes The Chronicle to task for its 'fanatical left-wing opinions.'
To be more specific, he criticizes the newspaper for an editorial that charged that the requirement to provide an approved I.D. to vote was a poll tax. Mr. Gray wrote that this requirement is 'a guarantee that each person gets one and only one vote and that each vote will count.' I agree with Mr. Gray and challenge the newspaper to refute his argument.
I presume the column by the publisher/editor of the paper that appeared on Jan. 20 reinforced Mr. Gray's opinion of The Chronicle. The editor states in his column that he didn't vote in the primary because the Democratic and Republican parties would know which party ballot he chose.
Who is the editor kidding? How naive does he think the readers are? We know the editor is a member of the editorial board that directs the development of the 'left-wing' editorials. I have no question which party the editor supports and votes for. Do you?

Here's Keep's idiotic post on his blog:

It's the original and hangs in my Muskey home.
Nifty, eh?

Classical Values :: More felonies, more felons!
It does seem that a whole lot of crimes are being "upgraded".
More felonies, more felons!: "I don't approve of trespassing (especially on occupied residential property), but traditionally it has long been considered a misdemeanor, and it was a bit startling to see evidence that it is becoming a felony.
Walk across a construction site, and lose the right to vote, as well as your Second Amendment rights, for the rest of your life?"

"EcoMoms" preach new nut-zone religion

For ‘EcoMoms,’ Saving Earth Begins at Home - New York Times: “I used to feel anxiety,” said Kathy Miller, 49, an alliance member, recalling life before she started investigating weather-sensitive irrigation controls for her garden with nine growing zones. “Now I feel I’m doing something.”.....

“Activism can help counteract depression,” Ms. Buzzell added.
Sticking her nose into someone else's life sure does make some feel better....
Kilpatrick is pure scum!
And the news organizations that state "Kilpatrick, agreed to pay..." are liars!
The City of Detroit lost the suit.
The taxpayers of Michigan will pay it.
Just how stupid are we......?
Kilpatrick asks court to rule on secret documents "A jury ruled against the city in September, and despite vowing to appeal that decision, Kilpatrick agreed to pay $8.4 million to the plaintiffs and a third former officer who filed a separate lawsuit."

Snow days will reduce our children's "education".
But who cares about the kids, anyway....
Any guess as to the ekukatin' thak's gonna happen during the extra minutes of each school day?
Why do we allow this?
Snow days may extend school year: The state requires schools to provide 1,098 hours of instruction, but waives 30 of those hours for bad weather or such unavoidable circumstances as power outages.
Options for the district primarily are extending the length of remaining school days or adding an extra day onto the end of the year, Fazer said. He's hesitant to cut any time off of spring break because many families — and employees — already have made plans.

Gadgets don't help cheaters prosper -
Let's see...
1. "research" says don't worry about cheating.
2. The "brave" folks at GVSU report a decline in "dishonesty cases".
3. There is technology available to find cheaters.
4. The technology isn't "popular" with GVSU instructors.
5. "Faculty members stress academic integrety".
Everything is fine on campus as long as conservatives are kept from tenure.....
Gadgets don't help cheaters prosper - Muskegon Chronicle - MLive.com: "Yet research indicates that cheating in high school and college isn't any more common today than it was 30 years ago.
........At Grand Valley State University, the number of 'dishonesty cases' reported to administrators has steadily declined, dropping from 57 three years ago to 40 last year. ...........Faculty members stress academic integrity, she said, and also have access to an online plagiarism detection service called Turnitin.com. The international database receives and catalogs about 100,000 student papers daily and scans each one for originality. But it's not very popular among GVSU instructors. Only 32 of them currently are using it."

Human error?
Do the Clintons own The NY Post? Simple "human error" that she gets ALL the votes and no angst filled screams of disenfranchisement?
OBAMA ROBBED IN NY - New York Post: "'Some initial tallies had zeros, but it was most likely due to human error. Those were unofficial numbers, and no confirmed results have been released yet.'
In a predominantly black Brooklyn district for which Clinton was given credit for a 118-0 victory on Primary Night, the Board of Elections' latest figures indicate that she may not even come out the winner - Obama currently has 116 votes to her 118."

Does this mean the "culprit" is us and "we" should give them a bunch of our moolah?
I'm getting a painful feeling in my wallet..... am I just another greedy conservative paranoid?
KTVB.COM News Idaho News on Demand: "'The United States and the developed states as a whole are the countries that created the problem, caused the problem of climate change in the first place. In my view, that's what a culprit means,' he said in an interview this week on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly debate on climate change."

CMU Promise is dead
Interesting they would promise that someone else would pay the bills (the Michigan taxpayers!) and call it the "CMU Promise".
And now that it's "dead" the taxpayers are the fault.
Muskegon Chronicle - MLive.com: "The CMU Promise is no more.
The tuition guarantee remains in force through summer for everyone currently attending Central Michigan University.
The Board of Trustees today killed the promise for anyone enrolling for fall and later.
The promise, which CMU enacted in 2005, ensured that incoming freshmen and transfer students would pay a flat tuition rate for up to five years and the same room and board rates for two years"

Another Massacre At A "Gun Free Zone"
Can't anyone outside of the MSM and academia connect the gunshot dots?
Another Massacre At A "Gun Free Zone" College Campus KXNet.com North Dakota News: "At one time I was very against arming teachers or allowing qualified students to carry on campus. I’m not any more. These maniacs go to those schools KNOWING that their’s will be the only gun there - until police arrive. And that can take minutes."
