Homeless Michigan Dems?
Momma always told me voting democrat would be bad for my future.
National convention hotel rooms taken away from Michigan Dems: "LANSING, Mich. -- Michigan Democrats no longer can count on getting hotel rooms at their national convention in Denver.
The Democratic National Committee's Rules Committee last month stripped Michigan of its 156 national convention delegates as punishment for scheduling an early presidential primary in violation of party rules. State party officials had until Saturday to come up with an alternative to the Jan. 15 contest, but declined to do so.
That decision caused the DNC to informally tell state Democratic Chairman Mark Brewer that the party no longer has reservations at the Red Lion Hotel Denver Central during the Aug. 25-28 convention, state party spokesman Jason Moon said Monday.
'We think that those hotel rooms will be given back to us,' Moon added."

Nifty thunderstorm in January
I've always loved thunderstorms and a rare Winter T-storm is just another treat from those 10,000 sq. ft. mansion owners and private jet flyers.
Thank you global warmers!
Hollywood keeps giving, even if their movies suck......

Cheap Tatas?
Tatas are always to be prized, but inexpensive Tatas are a rare treat.
And at $2500?
Ummmmmm.....nice Tatas....
Maybe I need two?
All eyes on Tata's Rs 1 lakh car-India Business-Business-The Times of India: "the Tata people's car which has been dominating mindspace both inside and outside the industry for its sheer concept and execution since the better part of a decade."
New Fred Thompson Video: Kill. Protect. Punch.
Isn't "dipping" the same thing as "stealing"?
The Detroit News Online: "Lawmakers and Gov. Jennifer Granholm dealt with the deficit by delaying payments to state universities and community colleges, dipping into funds set aside for job training and substance abuse treatment and selling off part of the state's future tobacco settlement. Taxes were not raised to fill the hole."
Wow! Miss America might be packin'!
BLACKFIVE: Army Medic (and Miss Utah) Competing in Miss America Pageant: "GI Jill, Sergeant Jill Stevens, a Utah National Guard Medic and OEF veteran, is someone you can be proud of and support on January 26, 2008, when she competes in the Miss America Pageant.
As a National Guard soldier in College, her university pageant director convinced her to compete. She scoffed at the idea."

She's Smokin'!
Heh....
Deja Vu - WSJ.com: "a New York alderman, Peter McGuinness, proposed a city ordinance that would prohibit women from smoking in hotels, restaurants or other public places.
'Young fellows go into our restaurants to find women folks sucking cigarettes,' the alderman argued. 'What happens? The young fellows lose all respect for the women, and the next thing you know the young fellows, vampired by these smoking women, desert their homes, their wives and children, rob their employers and even commit murder so that they can get money to lavish on these smoking women.'"

Sad, sad people.
5 of 7 developed complications?
Sounds too much like the Laetrile scam in Mexico.
Americans seek stem cell treatments in China - Cloning and stem cells- msnbc.com: "Noting the lack of evidence, three Western doctors undertook their own limited study. It involved seven patients with spinal cord injuries who chose to get fetal brain tissue injections at one hospital in China. The study reported “no clinically useful improvements” — even though most patients believed they were better. Five developed complications such as meningitis."

MSM shocked, demands new study!
Who'd of guessed......
Michigan sees fewer gun deaths — with more permits: "Six years after new rules made it much easier to get a license to carry concealed weapons, the number of Michiganders legally packing heat has increased more than six-fold.
But dire predictions about increased violence and bloodshed have largely gone unfulfilled, according to law enforcement officials and, to the extent they can be measured, crime statistics."

What ever happened to "rainy day funds"?

Lansing State Journal: Clinton Co. roads budget snowed under: "After the first of two major snowfalls, Clinton County officials said their snow removal money for 2007 was gone, forcing them to use money set aside for other projects.
'We've already exceeded what we budgeted for '07, so whatever money we use (for the rest of the year) we won't have for '08 projects,' said Mike Nobach, the director of the Clinton County Road Commission"

Voting by mail starts for California's 2008 presidential primary: "Vote-by-mail ballots go out this week in the nation's most populous state, forcing presidential campaigns to consider using scarce dollars to lure early California voters while contests unfold in New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada.
More than half the total votes in California's Feb. 5 primary could be mailed in, and many of those ballots will be cast long before Election Day in a state that has seen scant evidence of the 2008 presidential campaign."
