Presented with the conundrum of whether or not to show Osama bin Laden’s death photos, the administration is telegraphing loudly and obviously the fact that they are “in discussions” and not sure it’s the right thing to do. For two days now, administration spokespersons have said, in one form or another, that they are considering releasing photos but are weighing […]

As I reported yesterday, the Benton Harbor City Commission passed a resolution, declaring the takeover of their city by Emergency Financial Manager Joseph L. Harris to be unconstitutional. Joe Harris doesn’t give a damn. He’s going to rescind their resolution. Benton Harbor Emergency Manager Joseph Harris tells [WSJM] that he plans to issue an order rescinding this week’s city commission […]

In case you thought President Obama wasn’t engaged or playing an active role in the killing of Osama bin Laden, check out this photo by White House photographer Pete Souza: Check out President Obama’s and Hillary Clinton’s faces. I can’t even imagine how tense that room must have been. I’m just sayin’…

Yesterday, by a vote of 6 to 2, the Benton Harbor City Commission and Mayor declared the appointment of Joseph Harris as the Emergency Financial Manager and his subsequent stripping of the Commission’s ability to govern the City unconstitutional. Whereas, The City of Benton Harbor declares the appointment of an Emergency Manager a violation of Article I §1, which states […]

On the heels of the start of the recall effort against Rep. Al Pscholka, I have learned that eight additional state Representatives in Michigan are now being targeted for recall. These Republicans are being targeted because they won narrow victories in November 2010 and most are in traditionally blue (Democratic) districts (like Mark Ouimet in the 52nd District, i.e. MY […]

This Saturday, May 7, 2011, is the Blossomtime Grand Floral Parade. As I previously reported, Michigan Governor Rick Snyder will be the “Grand Marshal” of the parade. I have also learned that Representative Al Pscholka, the father of Michigan’s odious Emergency Financial Manager Law, will also be in the parade. The appearance of both of these men in the parade […]

Don’t get me wrong, when I saw this, I made martinis: Photo by Anne Savage. Please do no reuse without permission. But, I have to say, when I woke this morning and saw the mass celebrations that happened around the country, I was a bit unsettled by it. Ten years of living in fear, of constant “yellow” or “red” alert […]

Stoneface McGee tonight at the White House correspondence dinner where Barack Obama and Seth Meyers ran him over and then backed up a few times: Donald Trump wants to run the country and he can’t even take a joke at his own expense at a celebrity roast???! Whatevs, dude. So. Not. Worthy. (Or. Qualified.) I’m just sayin’…

Even a blind dog finds a deer femur once in awhile. Kona. Diabetic. Blind. Mostly deaf. My inspiration. She found this bone on our walk yesterday. When she got home with it, she completely buried it by digging a hole, putting the bone in it and then covering it back up using her nose. I’m just sayin’…

It’s Miller Martini Time… Also, had an unsuccessful trip hunting for morel mushrooms. Probably a tad too early for that. However, an unsuccessful morel hunt is also called “a walk in the woods”. A that’s never a bad thing. I’m just sayin’…
