Here we are, almost through the Second Annual Right Michigan Bloggers' Challenge, and all I've managed to do so far is post a few responses.  You'd think that I'd dropped off the map or something.  The fact of the matter is that I've been doing some follow-up investigation into the subject addressed in a blog post on the TEA Party of West Michigan site, which focused on an executive order signed by Governor Granholm and the all-veterans protest march in response.  (By the way, that Veterans Rally on May 21st drew about 600 veterans from across the state . . . not bad for being haphazardly organized.)

However, the deeper that I dug into what was going on, the uglier the can of worms got.  Seriously, fitting together the pieces of this puzzle began to resemble one of those "conspiracy theory" string maps that you see on certain television shows and movies.  And over this past weekend I realized that I had to do something with what I know, so below the fold is what I've managed to put together . . . you be the judge.  (I'll warn you in advance, this is a long read . . . you may want to brew a pot of coffee first.)

Just at the outset, this is an article in four parts (all four of which are here):

• Executive Order 2009-22
  
• Senate Introduced Bill 250
  
• Enter the Lawyers
  
• Connecting the Dots

This meeting will take place at American Veterans Post # 126 (2929 Marshall Avenue SE in Grand Rapids) on Tuesday, 26 May 2009, starting at 7:30 PM.  At this meeting of UVCKC, the Veterans' March on Lansing will be debriefed.  Additionally, what should be done next will be discussed.

We Veterans are generally a pretty civil bunch.  We'll put up with a considerable amount of crap from our government and almost always take it in stride, being of the belief that stupidity should be suffered while it is sufferable.  But what I learned yesterday had me about at a gasket-blowing, blood-pressure-cuff-rupturing, penny-nail-spitting, profanity-laced tirade.  Really, I needed the balance of the day just to cool my boil down enough that I could write a post that someone wouldn't remove on the spot.
