Fuel costs ignite rise in ferry's ticket prices

Fuel costs ignite rise in ferry's ticket prices: A spike in diesel fuel prices has led to a nearly 12 percent hike in 2006 adult round-trip fares for the Lake Express high-speed ferry service between Muskegon and Milwaukee. "
Not the best news but still really worth the trip.

New acts for AirFair 2006

There will be new acts in the air: "Another newcomer to the Air Fair will be U.S. Navy fighter pilot David Burdine, with his MiG-17. He knows how to handle the Vietnam-era Soviet Union fighter because he was trained to fight against them. "
Sounds like a good show.

No zoo? Fans roar back in disbelief

Detroit Zoo to close? Another legacy of liberalism. Will anything be left unscathed if our Lady Gov gets reelected?

Walker - The Cracker Barrel on Alpine Avenue is boarded up this morning. A manager says the restaurant closed for good last night."
Kind of surprising that any are still operating.

More academic idiocy

Michelle Malkin: THE FIGHT OVER PAPPY BOYINGTON:
How does one respond to this?
"The University of Washington's student senate rejected a memorial for alumnus Gregory 'Pappy' Boyington of 'Black Sheep Squadron' fame amid concerns a military hero who shot down enemy planes was not the right kind of person to represent the school.
Student senator Jill Edwards, according to minutes of the student government's meeting last week, said she 'didn't believe a member of the Marine Corps was an example of the sort of person UW wanted to produce.'
Ashley Miller, another senator, argued 'many monuments at UW already commemorate rich white men.'"

Daley wants security cameras at bars

USATODAY.com - Daley wants security cameras at bars:
Double standard alert! Imagine the press reaction if Clinton had begun terrorist phone listening (oops, he did!)and imagine if Daley was a Republican. Where's the MSM outrage when a Demo brings 1984 into our lives?
"Mayor Richard Daley wants to require bars open until 4 a.m. to install security cameras that can identify people entering and leaving the building. Other businesses open longer than 12 hours a day, including convenience stores, eventually would have to do the same."

Alarming!

Heh!

Results of New CDC Study . .
Doctors:
(A) The number of doctors in the US is 700,000
(B) Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year are 120,000
(C) Accidental deaths per physician is 17.14%

Statistics courtesy of the US Dept. of Health &Human Services
Guns:
(A) The number of gun owners in the US is 80,000,000 (yes that's 80
million)
(B) The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is
1,500.
(C) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is 0.001875%

Statistics courtesy of the FBI
So statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.
Remember, guns don't kill people, doctors do.

FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS A DOCTOR.
Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We should ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand!

Out of concern for the public at large, I have withheld statistics on lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention.

Another example of cowardice and..

Able Danger

MediaChannel.org - Monitoring TV News Coverage of the Cindy Sheehan Arrest:
Why is the MSM ignoring this?
"MediaChannel.org used the powerful new MediaVision tool to monitor television news coverage of the Able Danger Congressional hearings. To our astonishment CNN's 'Lou Dobbs Tonight' was the only news show to give Able Danger any significant coverage. "

Petitions seek $6.85 minimum wage

Interesting that their real goal is to increase democrat voter turnout rather than any concern for the poor. Just another means to an end.

Petitions seek $6.85 minimum wage: "Ed Sarpolus, who conducted the Michigan poll, said Friday the issue especially stirs passions among Democratic voters, enough to possibly increase their turnout on Election Day by 4 to 5 percentage points, particularly in cities like Detroit.
'The ballot issue is more about increasing election turnout than it is about the issue of wages,' Sarpolus said."

Is purepolitics really Dennis the TinHat man?

Do democrat bosses hate all military?

Backroom Battles
Demos dump on Army vet in Ohio!

This is their excuse to murder and riot

Politics: The Shot Heard Round the World - Newsweek Politics - MSNBC.com: "The Shot Heard Round the World"
This is from Newsweek. Do these guys have so much hate that they can't tell the difference between one of the most patriotic moments of our American history at Lexington in 1775 and a simple hunting accident? Or are they so consumed with Bushatred that they will stoop to any level to distort the truth?I guess their front page in tomorrow's issue tells their position. Sad.

MSM cowardice

Captain's Quarters:
The field reporters are brave. The sit-at-home editors are cowards.
"Editors and publishers are afraid the thugs will target them as they targeted Danny Pearl and Theo van Gogh; afraid the mob will firebomb their newsrooms as it has firebombed Danish embassies"
