Careful what you ask for Sen. Jones, and Sen. Shirkey, because the bureaucrats, which actually run government may give it to everyone good and hard.

Are you suffering from lawn envy?
by KG One • • 1 Comment
Admit it. Your front lawn is bland.
It needs something to “jazz it up” a little.
Lawn Gnomes won’t do the trick.
Neither will gazing spheres, solar powered lawn lights or tiny banners displaying the upcoming holiday.
Why not try this?

Confirmed: Eric Holder in a Skirt by the Usual RINO Suspects

Ayotte (R-NH), Cochran (R-MS), Collins (R-ME), Flake (R-AZ), Graham (R-SC), Hatch (R-UT), Kirk (R-IL), McConnell (R-KY) Thanks, Rand. Actually, that doesn’t tell the whole story, because if you add the additional losers to who opened Pandora’s box: Alexander (R-TN), Burr (R-NC), Capito (R-WV), Corker (R-TN), Cornyn (R-TX), Gardner (R-CO), Johnson (R-WI), Portman (R-OH), Roberts (R-KS), Thune (R-SD), Tillis (R-NC), then you get an accurate picture of what treacherous lying bastards Republicans are in the U.S. Senate when they come back to tell their constituents ‘they voted against {insert nominee’s name here}’.
Remember Sen. Ayotte, right? Yes, me too. Isn’t the empty suit of identity politics wonderful? Remember Sen. Portman, too? Yep, me too. More empty suits.

MDOT: What’s Another $4,400,000.00? It’s not Like it’s Your Money
by Corinthian Scales • • 6 Comments
This is what arrogance and graft within bureaucracy looks like, folks.
The Michigan Department of Transportation is negotiating a lower lease rate for 23 passenger railcars now costing taxpayers $3,000 a day to sit idle. But the length of time the state could have to lease the cars before it can use them has doubled from two years to four years, according to a report sent to state lawmakers.
At the current lease rates, that means
MDOT[taxpayers] would have to sink about another $4.4 million into lease charges before it is able to put the cars into service.The Free Press on Feb. 1 broke the news of the idle railcars, which are intended for two proposed commuter services in southeast Michigan and so far have cost the state [taxpayers] about $12 million in refurbishment,
consulting[more graft] and leasing costs since 2010.
A half decade. 5 years and the plan is – there is no plan? Despicable. To say that This Guy is an incompetent boob and complete charlatan is an insult to incompetent boobs and charlatans who are forced to somehow figure out ways to survive in the private sector.
Single Cent Snyder is a total disgrace as well is every single legislator still in office who voted for this offensive garbage, which would be forever entrenched into our state’s constitution. And, don’t forget about the embedded fraud to the tune of at least $70M more per year. Do also note that Joan “gets it” about EITC.
Remember when Two Penny Jenny was a bad idea? Ya, well, with Single Cent Snyder… It Only Gets Worse. A lot worse if figuring in this unresolved can of worms.
Second highest Sales Tax in the nation, and the ballot proposal DOES NOT guarantee monies go to roads or schools.

Because why shouldn’t we proud Michiganians (there is a difference) openly celebrate our tax dollars indoctrinating Michigan’s next crop of li’l dirt-worshiping comrades?

Fantastic outcome for our veterans. This should have never happened.
Now, would any care to make a gentleman’s wager that had the weapon been an AK instead of AR in style, the politically correct members on Village Council would have been less inclined to raise said issue, which might be viewed as less offensive to their Camp Dearborn visitors?
You think about that…
