Ft Hood shooter

I can only pray that Nidal lives long enough for the Army or Texas execute him. That is Justice in this life, what God does to him in the next is of little concern to me.

Meeechigan Football

Regardless what the unwashed multitudes that attend the michigan Agricultural College may think; Michigan (U of M)will return to her former glory and they will again be resigned to the dust bin of Big Ten football. Go Blue, or stay home!

Forefit?

And Today's Asinine comment award goes to: Sgt. Dave Schreiner, who runs Canton Township's forfeiture unit, which raised $343,699 in 2008.

Said the Sgt (hopefully with a straight face):"You'll find that departments are doing more forfeitures than they used to because they've got to -- they're running out of money and they've got to find it somewhere."

Isn't that the same kind of excuse we hear from Criminals? I guess almost all crooks carry guns, now it's apparent that some carry a Badge too.

Lawmakers spouse trips

This stinks to high heaven. If I wanted to take my spouse on any work related trip I'd have to pick up her entire tab. These overpaid dopes in Washington should do the same.

We call it Fort hood

News headline: "Details emerge about Ford Hood suspect".

I would think we should espect a little better proof reading when our Soldiers are being gunned down by lunatics.

Muslim Killer

Another practioner of the "religion of Peace". I'm praying that when this guy gets to Hell the Devil will have him doing handstands in a Lake of Pig blood.

Drive by Mother

Sounds like she'd been driving by her responsibilities to raise her children also. Disgusting to say the least. And this type of Mother and the rotten spaw that she brings into the world are why we need a Death Penalty. These people (if you can call them that) aren't fit to breath the same air as Law abiding citizens.

Cherry for Governor - NOT!

Alesis:

Such anger: it looks like you've been hitting the Koolaid yourself (a process I might add that was started by a darling of the California democrat party, but it's not uncommon for Libs to blame their own sins on others).

Relax; after 8 years of Granholm, my Scottish Terrier couldn't make a worse mess of Michigan than Ms. Granholm has.

For sale to the highest bidder!

And why would we expect anything less? I'm sure these two have been chowing down at the putlic trough and by extension living of the honest labor of the Michigan Taxpayers for all their lives.

Fox Is Faux

jdlech said:

"What de-legitimizes Fox news is their political activism. No other network has given over unpaid airtime to organizing and supporting political demonstrations and political movements. By this act, FOX has gone from news and commentary, to an active player in the political process."

I guess you've never watched MSNBC? There is no greated example of a "Political" News organisation than is MSNBC and their crew of hacks like: Olbermann, Maddow, Mathews, and their ilk.

What the WH is attempting here is to quash dissenting opinions. Sounds like fascism to me. But, the American Left has always had a pair of "jack boots" hiding in their closets.

Gays

Good Gawd! Can't please stop having this argument? Haven't the Voters of Michigan already made their opinion clear in this case? When will "No, mean No" for these whining special interest groups? Please just focus on somethng that will fix Michigan's employement woes, or do us a favor and leave.

Michigan does not allow gays to marry. If your drawers are in such an uproar about it move to someplace more "gay friendly".

Calling this a "civil rights" issue is a huge Red herring. If you allow gays to marry then you might just as well allow polygamy and inter-species nuptials as well. If we're all to be truly equal then let's make it so across the board.

indicited Mayor

Perhaps the voters simply decided to vote for the "Criminal they know" as opposed to one they don't. The same choice most of us make every time we vote.

jobless benefits

"Levin said the added benefits will keep jobless Americans in their homes. It will keep their children fed and clothed. "

I'd love to see the good Senator unemployed and see how long he and his family get by on what the average Joe/Jane gets in benefits.

Michigan needs jobs! Not handouts!

Sex Offenders

While I do think it is unfair to keep some of these people on the list for what is essentially their entire productive life as a taxpayer (or user if they can't find work); If any 18 year old boy showed up at the door to see my daughter when she is only 14 there would be no need to ever prosecute him. I'd have already let my 1911 colt decide the case.
