Climate facts to warm to
"actually, there has been cooling, if you take 1998 as your point of reference. If you take 2002 as your point of reference, then temperatures have plateaued. This is certainly not what you'd expect if carbon dioxide is driving temperature because carbon dioxide levels have been increasing but temperatures have actually been coming down over the last 10 years.'"

K12 Reformer - Mike Reno: Perhaps “Rubber Stamping” should be a crime too!

K12 Reformer - Mike Reno: Perhaps “Rubber Stamping” should be a crime too!: "According to the article, he did this at least 40 times, based on the 40 phony invoices found in his house. That would average $57,500 per invoice, which is a spending level that would – or should – include some approval/oversight at the school board level.

I’d bet that there were 40 instances were there was a unanimous round of seven AYE votes approving those fraudulent purchases, or the invoices. There’s a good chance that not one single question was asked before each of the 40 approvals."

Pregnant Mother, Tortured, Dies in Ill.: "Banished to the basement, the 29-year-old mother with a childlike mind and another baby on the way had little more than a thin rug and a mattress to call her own on the chilly concrete floor.
Dorothy Dixon ate what she could forage from the refrigerator upstairs, where housemates used her for target practice with BBs, burned her with a glue gun and doused her with scalding liquid that peeled away her skin."

My gosh, it's first graders. Shouldn't they be learning how to read in English?

Another disgusting, anti-child, anti-american move by the "educators" in Muskegon.

County to seek millage renewal for veterans - mlive.com: "Since it opened in August of 1990, the Muskegon County Department of Veterans Affairs has dramatically increased the variety of services it offers and the number of veterans it serves.
And the voters of Muskegon County have stuck with the department every step of the way, approving a property tax millage to help support its programs in 1994, then approving a 10-year extension of that millage in 1998.
Now it's time for the department to seek voter assistance again as it prepares for the challenge of serving a new generation of veterans coming home after serving in Iraq and Afghanistan."
