GOP &
Business Groups: Cripple Ergonomic Rules
Business types (National Federation of Independent Business and the Michigan Chamber of Commerce) and those who feed from their troughs (the House GOP) are up in arms, so to speak, about a MIOSHA adÂviÂsory group thinkÂing about ergonomic rules. It'll drive business to ... to ... Indiana! It'll wreck the business climate in Michigan! It'll increase workers' comÂpenÂsaÂtion fraud!
Here's
Dick DeVos taking a tour of a Macomb County farm. Note how hard
Dick strives to look casual in his dress shirt and suit pants.
Proves you just can't force cool, especially walking in
cow dung wearing $1,000 Italian loafers. It just doesn't work.
Proof once again that inÂheritÂing money
means nothing.
"What a weird looking dog - is it a Dalmation?"
Sharon
McPhail endorses Kwame Kilpatrick for re-election. So what? Does
anyone take her seriously anymore after she accused Kilpatrick of
trying to electrocute her with a re-wired chair massager and then
just this year awarded him with the so-called "Sambo Sell-Out of
the Year Award?" (Sambo? Jeez). After all this she endorses
Kilpatrick? So, tell us Sharon, who's the real Sambo
Sell-Out of the Year here?
N-i-c-e house; no one at home.
Who
would have thought that back in May 2003, Co-State GOP Party Dude,
Chief Prosecutor and State Attorney Michael Cox would have
voluntarily stepped into the Kilpatrick Manoogian Mansion Party
Mess. Back then rumors swirled around town about a crazy party with
hookers, blow-jobs and the Mrs. Mayor beating the crap out of one
of the working ladies. Five weeks later in June 2003, Cox announces
there would be no charges; the crazy party was just an Urban
Legend.
(From MIRS) First Gentleman Dan Mulhern (Mulhern-Granholm for you enlightened) spoke last weekend before a leaderÂship class at the Saginaw Horizon Center about the "silver lining" behind Delphi's bankÂruptcy. It's "an eÂnorÂmous opÂportunity" to overcome adÂverÂsity, much like when someone loses a limb, he said.
Or maybe one's head. Imagine how much opportunity that would provide to overcome adversity.
Naw, its got nothing to do with the sheets, CleanÂHotels.com is a network of lodging facilities that do not offer in-room, "adult," pay-per-view movies; you have to go outside to your car for that. They've published the following "pledge" on their home page (somewhat reminiscent of "Reefer Madness"):
What state politician has beaten four incumbents? Apparently, a Michigan record. Hint: it's not former Governor John "I am a Jelly Donut" Engler.
The
Michigan Caucus has worked long and hard in assembling the list of
Michigan's 25 worst politicians and public figures (yeah we know
its up to 27 [add the nine Detroit council members who are listed
as a single entity], but so what? Take a look at the list in the
left column). The only real standard used was the percieved damage
to local and state politics the inductee caused. Without dispute,
former Governor John Engler heads the list. The rest are sort of
thrown in almost random order. Nominate your own "Worst 25"
politician or public figure here or tell us why the list order
should be changed. Please nominate only real persons.
Or, how to get more dope out of the dopes.
It won’t solve the mysteries behind the X-Files (they’ve tried), but it’s the second-best avenue of divining government secrets besides having a Palm Pilot stuffed full of bureaucratic contacts. It’s the Freedom of Information Act and its been credited with uncovering everything from the stupid (talking Hawaii “vacations†on the public dole) to the criminal (CIA doping unsuspecting citizens with LSD in the MKULTRA program).
