Tired of the Hot Air again
I’m getting tired of the distractions and feel that I need to vent, because the gate keepers of the media, both left and right insist on talking about things of no consequence. What am I talking about? I try to remain balanced in the things that I read so that I can see issues from [...]
Why I am more libertarian…
I think that this is one of the reasons. Not that you shouldn’t regulate some things, but when you want to switch grapes and the government won’t let you…
West Michigan becoming Western Pennsylvania?!
I caught this article in the GR Press the other day. It looks like the Manchester Bidwell Corporation (a non-profit) will be entering into a triangular partnership with GRCC and the GRPS.

Here’s one and it has gotten little press: The information director at the UM sponsored Africa University has written an interesting article for UMNS with thoughts from some of the students about what an Obama [...]
The Pro-Life Obama Voters: What Do They Want?
My brother-in-law pointed me to site on his twitter feed the night of the election, or somewhere around there, about this. It was about a pro-lifers who support Obama. Then Scot McKnight posted a link to this beliefnet.org article on his Jesus Creed.org This was the breakdown of the statistics. So what do they [Obama [...]
