A pedometer without the weight

A pedometer without the weight - Cool Sites from The Kim Komando
"I’m a lover of techie gadgets. So you probably think I use some sort of high-tech pedometer, right? Wrong! I like to exercise without all the extra weight.
I still keep track of my distances, though. I use the Gmaps Pedometer. It is simpler and less cumbersome than a physical pedometer."

Did Obama Cause The Stock Slide?









"UPDATE: A reader emails: “From Election Day 2000 to Election Day 2008, the S&P 500 fell 29.8%. From Election Day 2008 til this afternoon, it’s down 33.3%.”
"Ouch."

No worries... "it's Engler's fault".

Obama lies... again!

The Numbers: "President Obama’s kicking off his health care reform today in the worst possible way: with a mischaracterization of data."

Well, duh!

CAN WE STILL HAVE HELEN THOMAS DOLLS?

CAN WE STILL HAVE HELEN THOMAS DOLLS?
"Democrat Jeff Eldridge introduced a bill in the House of Delegates on Tuesday that would ban the sale of Barbie dolls - and 'other dolls that influence girls to be beautiful' - in West Virginia.

Eldridge said the dolls have encouraged girls to value their physical appearance more than their education and intelligence.
'I hate the myth around, if you're beautiful, you don't have to be smart,' Eldridge said.
His bill, HB 2918, would make it illegal to sell Barbie dolls 'and other similar dolls that promote or influence girls to place an undue importance on physical beauty to the detriment of their intellectual and emotional development.'"

Gateway Pundit: Congress Gives Itself a Boost In Spending Bigger Than Domestic Programs

Gateway Pundit: Congress Gives Itself a Boost In Spending Bigger Than Domestic Programs
"The US may be in recession, but like the president, the members of Congress won't feel the pinch this year.

The Pelosi-Reid Congress also gave each lawmaker an extra $93,000 in petty cash to spend this year.

And now they just gave themselves an 11% increase in spending."

Cap-and-trade plan will sink Michigan

Cap-and-trade plan will sink Michigan
"President Barack Obama's proposed cap-and-trade system on greenhouse gas emissions is a giant economic dagger aimed at the nation's heartland -- particularly Michigan. It is a multibillion-dollar tax hike on everything that Michigan does, including making things, driving cars and burning coal."

Grand Haven chamber decides to honor CertifiChecks, Muskegon uncertain

Grand Haven chamber decides to honor CertifiChecks, Muskegon uncertain
"The Grand Haven Chamber of Commerce now says it will honor chamber gift certificates issued through CertifiChecks.

Holland is also honoring the CertifiChecks.

Once again, Muskegon can't/won't act quickly.

Once again, Muskegon looks like the stinking swamp of W Michigan.

Bummer dudes!

Homegrown incentives may work best

Homegrown incentives may work best
"We urge the chambers to lessen the damage for both consumers and businesses through a combination of funding sources. While they figure out their next step, perhaps there's something merchants can do to continue to encourage area residents to patronize local establishments."

Another moronic editorial from The Chronicle that reinforces my good judgement in cancelling my 33 year subscription.

Note that the sages in the crumbling hulk of our dead-but-not-acknowledged newspaper advise "merchants" to take the hit.

No mention of ANY help from the taxaholic, spendaholic city of Muskegon.
Meebee a tax holiday?
Naaa.......

Where did that $200,000,000 that was supposed to reinvigorate "downtown" (known to us locals as "ground zero") go?

Editorial: State plans to revamp school evaluation

Editorial: State plans to revamp school evaluation
"Rather than giving schools a single letter grade, like it does now, the new system would provide the school's state accreditation status as well as the annually yearly progress status required by No Child Left Behind."

Does anyone... ANYONE believe that the same "experts" who have destroyed our school systems will actually do ANYTHING to make them better, more accountable or more fiscally responsible?

The ONLY way to fix their mess is competition-school choice.

'Early bird' ROTHBURY tickets on sale March 14

'Early bird' ROTHBURY tickets on sale March 14
"Fans of the ROTHBURY music festival will be able to buy tickets early for a reduced price -- if they don't mind that the list of acts has not been released."

I'd be REAL leery about sending big moolah to these folks this early.

Maybe the Muskegon Chamber of Commerce will guarantee the tix?

Glitches continue for Michigan unemployment seekers

Glitches continue for Michigan unemployment seekers
"Hundreds of new workers have been hired by the state's Unemployment Insurance Agency to handle claims, but jobless workers trying to file for unemployment insurance still are having trouble getting help.
On Tuesday morning, calls to the agency's toll-free lines set up for those filing for unemployment or recertifying their benefits were answered by recorded messages saying all lines were busy."

This is the future of our socialism, folks.

And these same people tell us they can run a national health care system?
