His departure was jointly announced on Wednesday by Fox and Mr. Beck’s company, Mercury Radio Arts. The companies said they would “work together to develop and produce a variety of television projects for air on the Fox […]

The GOPocrisy rose to Fukushima-type levels this week as the Republicans rolled out their so-called “budget”. Wait, not a budget, a “cause”. First, after beating Democrats about the head and shoulders last fall for daring to propose that Medicare waste be reduced by describing it as “cutting Medicare”, they have the audacity to now propose eliminating Medicare as we know […]

Just to recap: Michigan Congressman Ray Franz is an idiot. Michigan Congressman Ray Franz is an idiot that wants to ban (BAN!) offshore wind energy in Michigan. While the rest of the world is diversifying their energy portfolio to include renewable energy sources, Michigan Congressman Ray Franz (an idiot) wants to take us backwards. Why does Congressman Franz want to […]

I’m sorry, but I am having a very hard time believing that this is actually coming from liberals: A free-market think-tank at the center of a controversy over Freedom of Information Act requests to labor-studies departments received a series of death threats and bomb threats Thursday night and early today. Personnel at the Midland-based Mackinac Center for Public Policy reported […]

On March 20th, Islamophobe and 19th Century throwback, “Pastor” Terry Jones, held a mock trial where he put the Koran on trial, found it guilty and then burned it with video cameras rolling. It was part of something they called “International Judge the Koran Day” which, apparently took place only in the sad little backwater community in Gainesville, Florida where […]

I know you think this is an April Fool’s Day joke. It’s not. Michigan Republican Ray Franz has introduced House Bill No. 4499 which literally prohibits off-shore wind development in Michigan. The department shall not enter into a lease or deed that allows the use of unpatented lands for the siting, placement, construction, operation, or maintenance of any structure to […]

Good news for the Rustbelt states like mine (Michigan): Ford sales up 19% over last year. GM up 11%. Chrysler up a whopping 31%. Ford actually sold more vehicles than GM for only the second time since 1998. Ford reported March sales of 212,777, up 19 percent from the same month a year ago. That compares with GM’s 206,621 sales […]

I frequently criticize the Michigan Dems for their approach and tactics but they scored a home run with this new ad/video called “Governor Snyder’s First Three Months on the Job”. I apologize to those with crappy innernetz connections or video-blocking firewalls. The video is essentially a montage of news reports about Snyder signing the Emergency Financial Manager bill into law, […]

It’s hard for me to actually blame idiots for being idiots. Part of being an idiot is that don’t actually realize you are an idiot so you just keep on being an idiot. The people I DO blame are the ones that vote for this idiot. Last night on the House floor, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) offered a bizarre new […]
