Report: Jackson flight school lacked oversight - Latest News - The Grand Rapids Press - MLive.com: "Jackson Community College officials say their internal investigation into an instructor using a plane for personal trips concluded the flight school lacked proper oversight of airplane keys and flight logs.
Keys to aircraft were left out in unsecured areas and flight logs were incomplete or missing, said JCC spokeswoman Cindy Allen.
The former director of the school, John Feldvary, resigned earlier this month in the wake of the probe after then-instructor Jeff Essenmacher flew a college-owned plane to Boyne Mountain on Jan. 18 to go snowboarding."

Supremes thwart Michigan-destroying democrat thugs
The "state lawmakers" who want to open the class action floodgates on businesses who comply with the FDA are democrat, job destroyers.
A redundancy, I'll admit.
High court ruling backs state's drug shield law: "The court this week limited the liability of medical device companies that comply with federal regulations.
State lawmakers should abandon efforts to repeal the Michigan law, which protects drug companies that comply with standards set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and whose products were tested and approved by the agency."

Michigan's "taxpayer black hole"
"What can the REGION afford.....?"
Well now.
Detroit is bankrupt. Michigan is bankrupt. Just what "region" is he talking about?
Keep the next Cobo proposal simple: "What can the region afford and who's willing to pitch in? Those involved in the Cobo talks say a project in the $400 million to $450 million range -- everything included -- would be saleable."

Obama magic!
Power Line: He's good for what ails you, and Mexico too: "Most magically of all, Obama will fix Mexico's economy even while refusing to trade with Mexico unless it complies with U.S. labor and environmental standards.
I know the competition is fierce, but Obama may turn out to be the most intellectually dishonest Democratic presidential nominee of my lifetime."

NYT Suggests Unproven Adultery by McCain -- Unlike Clinton NewsBusters.org: "So The New York Times has released a story by a four-person investigative team alleging a potentially inappropriate relationship between Sen. John McCain, the apparent GOP nominee for president, and a lobbyist named Vicki Iseman, three decades his junior. There is no proof of an inappropriate romantic or sexual relationship, merely suspicions by staff members now said to be disgruntled. So why is the Times biting on this story? A look back at a few Clinton sex scandals suggests a different standard for Republicans and Democrats."

Steven Pearlstein - Time for Wall Street to Pay - washingtonpost.com: "Wall Street's hypocrisy on this topic is nothing less than breathtaking. When times are good, its champions will claim that their brilliance and hard work account for the spectacular returns. But when markets turn and investors lose their shirts, these same brilliant managers are sent off with golden parachutes and invariably scooped up by rival firms that are only too willing to chalk up their mistakes to bad luck."
