Don't eat that donut or we're gonna cut ya!

Bringing in the new year, Radio Iowa reported from a bariatric surgeon at Creighton University Medical Center in Omaha. Increasing numbers of teens are coming in wanting bariatric surgeries, according to Dr. Ranjan Sudan, and “some doctors are looking at performing weight loss surgeries [sic] on children as young as five.”

Attack of the killer bulbs?

Yeah, but isn't saving the Planet more important the health of ....polluters?

Low-energy bulbs 'could cause skin cancer' - Telegraph: "The new energy-saving bulbs produce a more intense light and can exacerbate a range of existing skin problems."

Why I Believe Bush Must Go: "By George McGovern
Sunday, January 6, 2008; B01

As we enter the eighth year of the Bush-Cheney administration, I have belatedly and painfully concluded that the only honorable course for me is to urge the impeachment of the president and the vice president."

Not everyone agrees:

Comparison Test: 2007-2008 V6 Family Sedans

OK, this isn't a "family" car.

Pretty nifty photo, don't ya think?

Nissan GT-R.... zoom...

Comparison Test: 2007-2008 V6 Family Sedans: "When we last rounded up V6-powered family sedans in March 2006, the 2007 Toyota Camry XLE V6 came out on top, granting it an instant ticket to this year's face-off. But the competition is much different now, and its rivals this time around include the Nissan Altima, wholly redesigned in 2007, and all-new 2008 versions of the Chevrolet Malibu and Honda Accord."

Michigan GOP leaders?

Yep.....

"I try to think but nothing happens", "Soitenly", "Woob Woob Woob", "Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk", "I'm a victim of soicumstance", "Why you Numbskull".

U.S. Rep. Hoekstra fears Michigan's primary will be 'tainted': "Republican U.S. Representative Peter Hoekstra says the way the primary is set up could have a negative impact on the Republican candidates, “It's structured so poorly, and the results may be very much tainted because it's not really a Republican Primary.” Hoekstra explains, “It's really a primary that's open to all voters in the state, but all voter's in the state will probably only vote in the Republican Primary, it's really a mish-mash.'"

You had to see this one comming

Wow!

Way better than a "task force" is a "task force AND citizen advisory committee"!

And there is that little inconvience of spending the road money for other more "important" stuff years ago.....

Times Herald - www.thetimesherald.com - Port Huron, MI: "The state Department of Transportation's multi-billion dollar budget isn't enough to maintain the state's roads at their current condition, and Sen. Jud Gilbert, R-Algonac, wants solutions.

Recently, Gov. Jennifer Granholm signed a bill Gilbert sponsored last year that will create a task force and citizen advisory committee charged with proposing alternative revenue sources to pay for the state's transportation needs."

The decline is due in part to the fact the state has spent bond money generated in previous years, Gilbert said, ..."

"Availability Entrepreneurs" or simply, "liars"?

Predictions for 2008 - Climate Change - Global Warming - John Tierney - New York Times: "But there’s bound to be some weird weather somewhere, and we will react like the sailors in the Book of Jonah. When a storm hit their ship, they didn’t ascribe it to a seasonal weather pattern. They quickly identified the cause (Jonah’s sinfulness) and agreed to an appropriate policy response (throw Jonah overboard).
Today’s interpreters of the weather are what social scientists call availability entrepreneurs: the activists, journalists and publicity-savvy scientists who selectively monitor the globe looking for newsworthy evidence of a new form of sinfulness, burning fossil fuels."

Obsidian Wings: Andy Olmsted: "Andrew Olmsted, who also posted here as G'Kar, was killed yesterday in Iraq. Andy gave me a post to publish in the event of his death; the last revisions to it were made in July."

Michigration?

I haven't seen a "popularity" poll on Jennie lately.....wonder why........

Study confirms: Michigration: "A United Van Lines migration study said Michigan residents are leaving the state at a rate higher than any other state for two years in a row. Census Bureau figures indicate a population loss of 36,000 people."

"loophole" casino for Muskegon?

This one has an odor right from the start.

Maybe we ought to check the bank deposits of some of our City officials?

U.P. tribe to propose casino plan: "A delegation from the Lac Vieux Desert Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians based in Watersmeet in the far west corner of the Upper Peninsula is expected to present a casino proposal to the city at a 5:30 p.m. work session.
Local leaders in contact with Lac Vieux Desert Band officials indicate the U.P. tribe wants to open a casino in an existing downtown building. The tribe reportedly is looking at the former SPX headquarters in the Terrace Point development, community leaders indicate.
It is also unknown how the tribe intends to get state and federal approval of a Muskegon casino, a difficult and usually years-long process. Some tribal leaders reportedly have indicated there is a 'loophole' that can be used to expedite the approval process."

But the Lac Vieux tribe has many hurdles to climb. Due to the distance between Muskegon and its reservation in the western Upper Peninsula, Bush said it will have to show that it owned land in the Muskegon area prior to the signing of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Control Act in Oct. 17, 1988

Michigan voters stiffed again

The democrat vote is essentially worthless in the Michigan primary and the GOPers have, AGAIN, set themselves up to let democrat crossovers determine who wins the Republican primary.

Nice job Michigan State party leaders..... yeah, right....

Obama's absence on state ballot rankles some : "But come Jan. 15, the name Obama will appear nowhere on Michigan's Democratic primary ballot. A squabble between state and national party officials over the primary date led Obama and former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards to withdraw their names from the ballot."
