Cross-posted at Wisconsin’s Dane101 blog. State Representative Paul Scott was first elected to the Michigan House of Representatives for the 51st District in 2008. He won reelection in 2010 and, since then, has been at the forefront of attacking unions in general and the teachers union specifically. Scott didn’t run on an anti-teacher platform during his campaign. In fact, many […]

Nolan Finley at the Detroit News just can’t seem to bash the Occupy Wall Street folks enough. First, it was his article where he basically called the protesters a bunch of animals and derided them as being simply “malcontents”. This week, he trots out a debunked-many-times-over myth that “the 1% does most of the giving”. The civil rights center bearing […]

As I wrote yesterday, the Michigan Court of Appeals had put an injunction in place on the […]

It displays a complete misconception regarding this so-called reform that I think is worth dispelling. I am all for the no-fault reform bill. I am tired of paying for other people to be irresponsible. I have worked since I was 12 years old […]

As I wrote about in my piece for A2Politico this week, the organizers of the recall effort against Republican state Representative Paul Scott was dealt a devastating blow last week when Ingham County Circuit Court Judge Clinton Canady granted an injunction barring the use of petition signatures that have been gathered. This was the only recall effort in Michigan to […]

The We the People rally for jobs at the Stadium Bridge in Ann Arbor scheduled for this evening has been cancelled. I do not know the reason for this and have only been told “it’s a long story”. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Holy craptastic crap! “I’m on strike!” – Ellis Wyatt, from the end of the movie “Atlas Shrugged, Part 1”, based on the novel by Ayn Rand Resolved that: The Obama administration and the Democrat-controlled Senate, in alliance with a global Progressive socialist movement, have participated in what appears to be a globalist socialist agenda of redistribution of wealth, and the […]
