Oh, ha, ha, ha. Michigan opponents of the federal health care overhaul said Tuesday they will keep fighting the plan, even though their grass-roots bid to allow voters to weigh in on the issue has failed. The campaign to ask Michigan voters if they wanted the option to not participate in the health care reform passed by Congress in March […]

I posted blog entry yesterday where I highlighted the out-of-touch nature of a GOP candidate in my Congressional district (MI-07) with regard to the new health insurance reform law. On my Facebook page, I got an earful from a guy who said this about it: It uses 10 years of tax receipts to pay for 6 years of benefits – […]

It’s masochism on my part, I suppose, but I have gotten on the email lists of the two leading GOP contenders who are seeking the nomination to challenge Congressman Mark Schauer (MI-07) this November. The leading leading contender is an odious man named Tim Walberg who held the position for only one term before being sent packing in 2008. His […]

Yesterday morning, Organizing for America (OFA) held an event at the Ann Arbor Community Center to thank Congressmen John Dingell (MI-15) and Mark Schauer (MI-07) for their leadership and votes on the recently-enacted health insurance reform law. The two men represent opposite ends of Congressional spectrum. Congressman Dingell has served longer than any current member of the House of Representatives. […]

Michigan’s been in the news a LOT lately. From our governor forcing the Att. Gen. to intervene against himself to Militiamen Gone WildTM, things are a bit crazy. Now come the Howell Teabaggers: Starting Monday, Livingston County will be “ground zero” for an effort to place a proposal for Michigan to opt out of federal health-care law on the November […]

As I wrote yesterday, Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox, also a Republican candidate for governor, has joined in a lawsuit with 12 other state Attorneys General that contends the health insurance reform LAW is unconstitutional. This has made Governor Michigan Jennifer Granholm very unhappy. So, in her capacity as governor, she has directed Cox to intervene on behalf of the […]

Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox is joining 12 other state Attorneys General across the country in a suit claiming the new federal health-care reform LAW is unconstitutional. (Let’s none of us forget that this is now a LAW and was signed by the president who is a Constitutional lawyer.) I guess Mr. Cox feels Michigan has money to burn. Given […]

Far be it from me to give Republicans political advice but this clamor to “Repeal It!” while Barack Obama is still in office and would have to sign any bill repealing the freshly signed health insurance reform seems a little … uhhh … dumb? But hey, guys, knock yourselves out, right? And that’s just what the GOPosaurs in my district […]

I’m taking a day off from being a grownup. In fact, I’m acting childish today. On my way to work, as I drove past the home of the man (Mark Koernke) who placed “Buy Gasmasks Now!” and “Buy more Ammo NOW!” signs in front of his house the day after the 2008 presidential elections, I let my Eff Flag fly […]

First there was this on my television screen: Then my iPhone told me this: And the sweetest, juiciest cherry on the top of it all was watching John Boehner beg. I’m just sayin’…

So now it all comes down to the abortion issue for Republicans. I’m watching the Republicans on C-SPAN desperately trying to make this into a Big Government Abortion On-Demand Federally-funded abortion bill. Pardon me for a minute: BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!! Nice try, you obstructionist, pro-Big Insurance GOPosaurs. I actually heard a Republican saying it’s anti-veteran. It’s pure joy to watch them completely […]
