I just need this quick rant. Diane Reims read a letter a moment ago. It went something like this, in regard to the new Afghan offensive: I think Obama is taking big gamble. Success is fleeting. The solution is not guns and rockets. I think we should buy the opium harvest outright. Read more... (834 words, 3 images, estimated 3:20 mins reading time)

So we have established the situation is bleak, but I cannot accept it is hopeless and not worth trying something. Remember that
our main goal is to save the state, not the city. Read more... (808 words, 3 images, estimated 3:14 mins reading time)

Oh that’s easy. One of the causes of these problems is tax cuts for the rich. And the way you get jobs is put people back to work.
Then people feel good about this and that and spend money, your boy, healthcare, and so on…

Divinity Dove, Dr. Dove, and Professor Dove suggested some incentives to bring young professionals and 
businessmen to Michigan to help revitalize the state. For example, full spectrum lights, student loan assistance, parks and nature development along the detroit river, etc. Good grief you guys. You are recent graduate (wana-be) x-Michiganders. Would any of that shit keep you in Michigan? No. Of course not. You’re going to go where the opportunity is that opens up to you. So – Michigan needs opportunities opening up in Michigan if they want to keep young people. Not the other way around. Read more... (757 words, 3 images, estimated 3:02 mins reading time)

For students coming out of Michigan universities with start up companies, cover an increasing percentage of their student loan payments for every year they keep the company headquartered in Michigan.
Expand the current Cool Cities initiative. Detroit will take decades to turn around, when that process ever even starts. The state needs other grand locales it can point to. Which ties into the next one… Read more... (742 words, 3 images, estimated 2:58 mins reading time)

If you want me to be serious I’m going to have to blow the valves clean first:
I think the wisest first step is to kill the union leaders with Predator drone strikes while doing everything possible to break up their networks. We could post snipers across the street from bowling allies and mark up their credit reports so they can’t buy that new model every other year. Read more...

Justice or Prevention
When approaching such questions, we first must identify the primary goal we wish to achieve in trying a captured terrorist. For any rational or realistic person – this focus must be prevention of terror attacks. Read more... (1395 words, estimated 5:35 mins reading time)

So we got about 24 inches of snow Friday and Saturday. It was something I dreamed of when I was younger. I think we got that kind of snowfall once when I was in school. We had two days off and I spent two days shoveling. I never got to enjoy it fully. Read more... (536 words, 2 images, estimated 2:09 mins reading time)
