    Back Draft..

    While it may seem quiet around here as of late, one should consider it in the way a deep breath is taken by a burning event before it ignites all holy he** in a structure fire.

    Firefighters have a term they use..  its called a back draft.

    Congress is currently in recess, and as we have seen by the reports here and elsewhere, there is no shortage of events to attend, or become a part of to let your representative know how you feel.

    But I should note..  trouble is ALWAYS at hand, as Granholm now looks at "revenue enhancements" to solve the ever growing deficit numbers. According to Mirs (through the chamber portal)


    "Gov. Jennifer Granholm rolled out a series of revenue enhancements last week totaling $658 million as part of the approach to addressing a burgeoning $2.8 billion fiscal year 2010 budget deficit -- that proposal came one day after news that revenues continued their free-fall through July. "

    She is also looking at raising the Smokers tax again, adding another $0.25 to each pack sold..

    And LO and behold.. Perhaps the starry eyed mistress of fiscal irresponsibility has also decided that even the movies are not important enough, so she is considering a drop in the credit to film producers from 42% to 30..  (look out dear, they are already planning a movie that pits you against those poor film makers ala Cruella and 101 Dalmations)

    There is more.  There is ALWAYS more..  And for now, we shouldn't think things like tax increases here in Michigan, Cap and Tax by the Feds, or Health Care takeovers are stopped or even substantially hindered.

    So while we take our deep breath and go about our business, we might want to be ready to fire off letters, blogs, comments, objections, and criticisms (Or support to those who need it) of a whole new round of absurdity likely to come our way in short order.

    Is that smoke I smell?

    I sure as he** see a backdraft coming!

    The morning headline on the Ivory Tower was a slap in the face.  It was the biggest case of headline bias I've ever seen.

    It featured a picture of Mark Schauer with the following:

    "Politicans using friendlier phone format to discuss controversy with voters"

    Can you imagine this written about ANY non-liberal politican??

    I'm confused.  I thought we were all supposed to blame Engler and Bush for the ills of Michigan.

    Gosh.  What am I supposed to do now?  You don't actually expect me to exhibit 'personal responsibility' and make my own way in the world?

    I know what to do.  I must quickly read the Lansing State Journal or tune into MSNBC.  That will make me feel all better, and I can continue my life as a parasite upon the hard-working suckers, um, I mean citizens, who pay my way through life.
