Former Holiday Inn at Hoyt and Seaway, once the county's top lodging, now a 'dangerous' eyesore | MLive.com
When the motel opened in April 1964, it was the top of the local market. Among the first guests was former Vice President (and future President) Richard M. Nixon, who stayed at the brand-new Holiday Inn during a Muskegon visit June 8, 1964, to speak at a Republican fund-raiser.
Tricky Dick?!!!!

Rime of the Ancient Democrat
Articles: Rime of the Ancient Democrat
I think sentient Democrats are watching their party's chances in 2012 slip away, and had they not made such a big deal of claiming all opposition to Obama was racist in motivation and effect (see, e.g., this) , they would now be urging him to quit and seeking a new contender for his office.
Like Coleridge's ancient Mariner, however, they can only stand on deck with that albatross around their neck watching both the White House and the Senate slip from their grasp just as did so many state governorships and the House of Representatives.

Phoenix diocese cathedral won't allow girl altar servers
Girls no longer will be allowed as altar servers during Mass at the cathedral of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix, SS. Simon and Jude.
The Rev. John Lankeit, rector of the cathedral, said he made the decision in hopes of promoting the priesthood for males and other religious vocations, such as becoming a nun, for females.
OK.
So, it's only gonna be little boys......
This'll bring back the faithful......

Obama doesn't expect another recession
The president does say in a CBS News interview that the country is in danger of not recovering fast enough and acknowledges his reelection depends on the economy.
He hasn't expected ANYTHING that has happened.
The fool has no clue about anything other than golf and more vacations.

Obama made them hate us
PRELL: Obama made them hate us - Washington Times
A new Zogby poll, “Arab Attitudes, 2011,” has revealed that President Obama’s charm offensive in the Arab world has failed.
After he promised to restore America’s international reputation, not only does the Arab world hate America more under Mr. Obama than it did under President George W. Bush, it even hates Mr. Obama - personally - more than it detested the swaggering unilateralist cowboy from Texas

Team Obama deals the race card against Perry
Team Obama deals the race card against Perry Timothy P. Carney Politics Washington Examiner
The MSNBC attacks on Perry were egregious. First, on Monday night, liberal host Ed Schultz ran a clip of Perry in Iowa talking about the national debt. Perry spoke of "that big black cloud that hangs over America -- that debt, that is so monstrous," Perry said.
But Schultz cut off the Perry clip before the words "that debt" and asserted flatly, "that black cloud that Perry is talking about is President Barack Obama."
There they go again....
The true racial dividers show their hoods once again.

Obama: Whites need not apply
EDITORIAL: Obama: Whites need not apply - Washington Times
The White House issued an executive order on Thursday titled “Establishing a Coordinated Government-wide Initiative to Promote Diversity and Inclusion in the Federal Workforce.”
The purpose of the order is “to promote the federal workplace as a model of equal opportunity, diversity and inclusion.”
In other words, it would be better for the government if public-spirited white workers sought employment elsewhere.
RACISM!
By executive order.
It must be fun to be all powerful......

Don't we sort of have the same here in Michigan with the millions of dollars of wealth transfering to Detroit from everywhere else?

"There's Never Been A Plan"
Economist Sachs Hits Obama: "There's Never Been A Plan" RealClearPolitics
"We're almost three years into this administration, and there's never been a plan.
And that's what everybody feels.
And the president didn't lead.
He waited.
The quintessential image, sadly, of an administration that I supported and hoped for much better, is the president waiting by the phone to hear what Congress calls to tell him.
It doesn't work in this country that way.
It certainly isn't working for those in our country who are looking for jobs.
And this type of "waiting by the phone" for a Publisher's Clearing House call sure isn't working for Muskegon county "leaders" either.

Three Dead In Weekend Air Show Accidents
Three Dead In Weekend Air Show Accidents
On Sunday, wingwalker Todd Green was trying to perform his signature transfer from a wing to the skid of a helicopter when he fell about 200 feet to his death at the Selfridge Air Show near Detroit. By tragic coincidence, Kyle Franklin, whose wingwalking wife Amanda died of burns suffered in a March crash in Texas, was performing in his first air show since his wife's death and witnessed the accident. "It's really tragic," Franklin told reporters. "We are not thrill seekers trying to cheat death. We love what we do. We all know the risks involved."
On Saturday, Red Arrows pilot Flt. Lt. Jon Egging died after a low-level ejection in his Hawk aircraft at the Bournemouth Air Show and Bryan Jensen was killed when his highly modified Pitts Special, called The Beast, crashed on the field at the Kansas City Aviation Expo Air Show.
Egging was in formation with the Red Arrows when he split from the others and called a Mayday. Witnesses said he maneuvered the small jet trainer away from populated areas. His body was found face down in a river, not far from the wreckage of his aircraft. His wife and other members of his family attended the air show. Egging is being hailed as a hero. Jensen, a Delta Airlines 747 pilot, had been performing in air shows for 15 years. The aircraft, which had a modified Russian radial engine boosted to 412 horsepower, impacted vertically and caught fire.

The state's unemployment rate peaked around 15% in 2010.
It is now at 10.5%, which is still significantlyhigher than the national average of 9.2%.
The state has a vacancy rate of just under 15%, which is one of the highest in the country.
New building permits have also decreased by over 80% since 2005, also one of the highest rates in the country.
The state may now be more focused on tearing down old buildings than building new ones.

Bachmann stands by $2 gas pledge - Washington Times
“The price of gasoline the day that Barack Obama took office was $1.79 a gallon.
If the price of gasoline was $1.79 a gallon just two and three years ago, certainly we can get it back down to that level again.
Why wouldn’t we be able to do that?
Ummm, Michelle.
The entire world was on the brink of a financial meltdown when gas was $1.79.
That's why gas was so cheap.
You gonna bring us back there?
