  • Flint is a cultural dynamo.

    Not in the traditional sense, but nevertheless... Many of the comments in criticism of this post emphasize the value of services and cultural amenities. A few hundred square feet in a major city, they argue, trumps a few thousand in Flint, because big cities offer big city amenities. But there's a lot of flash and not much substance to these ...

  • The Property Tax Casino

    Americans love to gamble. In casinos or online. They throw money on the roulette table, where the odds would be fair except for that pesky 0 and 00. They love to buy lottery tickets; never mind that the expected return is about 50 cents on the dollar. But if property tax rates are raised, even by a miniscule amount, they are ready to man the ...

  • Goodbye "Reagan Dems" & Good Riddance to Pollster Greenberg

    “Goodbye Reagan Democrats” is the title of a rather vitriolic column by pollster Stanley Greenberg in the Nov. 11th New York Times. Brian Dickerson has a good column in the Nov. 12th Free Press, responding to it. Here are some excerpts from Greenberg‘s column. I’m finished with the Reagan Democrats of Macomb County in suburban Detroit after ...

  • Let NOT You Heart be Troubled

    The polls are in the tank- just like the dishonest media has been. They are perpetrating a fraud on the the American peple and that fraud is Obama.They are trying to discourage people from getting to the polls (voter suppression).Add that to the illegal voter registration and voter fraud courtesy of Obama's ACORN and Project Vote- EVERYONE must ...

  • Michigan & McCain

    You can scratch that one off your list. Michigan will not take Obama's lead for granted. We're fired up and ready to go. Heck, we're the state that gave the world Obama Pajmas, are you kidding?

  • Lobster in Michigan

    As a recent transplant from the relatively lobster-poor state of Michigan to a coastal town in Connecticut, I have certainly been eating more lobster recently. But that is not strictly due to availability: to the contrary, Meijer's Thrifty Acres always has lobster, except for a few days after New Year's Eve. Even the smallish Meijer in ...

  • A Record of Devolution

    ''Personally I don't think it makes any difference if my name is on the ballot. It's clear, this election they are having in Michigan is not going to count for anything.'' - Hillary Clinton on New Hampshire Public Radio''We believe Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina play a unique and special role in the nominating process. And ...

  • Re: Gary Hart is not running this year.

    Madame President, has a nice ring to it. Here is a post that deals with the math: Delegate mathhttp://anglachelg.blogspot.com/2008/05/new-math.html I think the DNC is trying to not count Michigan and Florida because they know it will give Hillary the lead. Obama campaigned in Florida, he also had lawyers in Michigan to stop the revote. It ...

  • Re: So much talk about the math and that Hillary can't win

    _________________________http://fray.slate.com/discuss/forums/thread/1160173.aspxrun75441 The argument is with Howard Dean and a few others (Donna Brazile) of the DNC who fumbled the matter with New Hampshire in holding them to their initial agreed upon date when South Carolina and Nevada were added early. Michigan and Florida both agreed to hold ...
