But, it makes the Canadians, Gary Peters, and the Governerd, are all giddy, so what the 'fiscal cliff' Hell? Screw Grover's initiated Tax Pledge to the constituents - Goonion labor Amtrak choo-choo money pits for e v e r y o n e! Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah By Corinthian Scales, Section News

Troy Councilman Dane Slater was officially appointed mayor Monday night until November 2013 amid controversy over whether the city must hold an election to name a new mayor. This is the final product that Lansing, and Party Nerdpublicans have created. When it comes to the central planning schemes using Federal Debt dollars being placed under deficit spending scrutiny locally, the establishment clause of Two Wings Same Bird Party politics will slay those who are not in their exact likeness. We watched the MI-GOP Star Chamber attempt to do this to Kerry Bentivolio, and they have had their "compassionate conservative" Operation Hummingbird way with Mayor Janice Daniels. The Republicrats quietus will wear the face of Mitt Romney, and Rick Snyder, for eternity. By Corinthian Scales, Section News

Linda Kajma stood on a chair with a beer in her hand, exultant in Daniels' apparent ouster. Yeaaaah. Nothing like having a Romney supporter aiding the misfit Lefty Big Spenders. Put on your ushanka, Linda, and stay in Troy. (3 comments) Comments >> By Corinthian Scales, Section News

The City of Troy and state election officials have different ideas of when and how to fill the seat of former Mayor Janice Daniels. Yessirree. All that "Best and Brightest" propaganda the homophiles wrap themselves in is paying off for you. (2 comments) Comments >> By Corinthian Scales, Section News
What a set-up to cover for Nansee. via The Detroit News
Former state Sen. Nancy Cassis said Friday she has filed enough petition signatures to get on the ballot for a special primary to fill the seat left vacant when U.S. Rep. Thaddeus McCotter resigned from Congress. The City of Livonia should be ashamed. David Curson who? Nice 'deal' with Brewer, Bobby. (9 comments) Comments >> By Kevin Rex Heine, Section News
You'd think that, after the shellacking that Saul Anuzis received a couple of months ago, the Michigan Republican Party would've got the hint that the grassroots in this here state isn't putting up with their crap anymore. Given that there's already a project underway to break the cycle of abusive behavior of state party leadership by replacing the corrupted party leadership (all the way down to the county party level, where necessary), you'd think that the elites would consider themselves on notice that getting their RINO asses in line is going to be the only way that they save their skins during the internal party elections that will be following the November general election.
Apparently, someone at MIGOP didn't get the memo.

Lt. Gov. Brian Calley on Tuesday called for a special election to fill the seat of U.S. Rep. Thaddeus McCotter, who resigned suddenly on Friday. Nice, eh? Mass confusion created for an establishment player's write-in campaign. (12 comments) Comments >> By Nick, Section News
Today is the day. As of 10 o'clock this morning, former sheriff, state trooper and state representative Mike Nofs is an official candidate in this fall's 19th state Senate district special election. The 19th, you'll remember, was technically vacated at the beginning of the year when Mark Schauer broke his word to his constituents and took a seat in Congress, becoming a part of what polling data consistently tells us is one of the least popular legislative bodies in American history. Our readers in Calhoun and Jackson Counties, their friends and neighbors, have been without representation in Michigan's upper legislative chamber for the last one-hundred-plus days and will be until the end of 2009. The Granholm-Cherry administration, fearing a potential partisan swing in the District and an expanded GOP majority in the Senate, delayed announcing a special election for months. Remember, they've got a lot more than one Senate seat to lose. Whoever winds up being the incumbent in the 19th come the 2010 general elections will have a leg-up on the challenger. Should the Democrats lose the 19th their path to taking control of the Senate becomes significantly more difficult with nothing less than the holy grail of legislative tasks at stake... redistricting. Whoever controls the Supreme Court and the state Senate come January 2011 will control legislative redistricting and partisan electoral potential for the next decade. The man who has the liberals spooked? Mike Nofs. Read on... (6 comments, 584 words in story) Full Story
