Ahh, hear that? You don’t? Me either.
My phones are blissfully silent except for people I actually want to talk to.
My radio is filled with talk, music, and commercials for the local auto mechanic.
My television is still filled with a lot of garbage, but at least the politicians have vacated it.
The 2006 elections are [...]

It is hard to adequately state my displeasure with these three debates fights that took place between Governor Granholm and her challenger, Dick DeVos. What a waste of time for the great people of the state of Michigan. Neither candidate did anything to solidify their positions on the economy, taxes, or education.
While DeVos [...]

Governor Jennifer Granholm and her Republican challenger, Dick DeVos, square off tonight in the third and final (thankfully) debate. The first two debates have been an exhibition in good old mudslinging while not exactly swaying potential voters with their political rhetoric.
Will either candidate present a detailed, fact-based plan for turning Michigan around? Judging [...]

Well the second debate took place last night between current governor Jennifer Granholm and her Republican challenger, Dick DeVos. I am not a betting man, but if I were I would have to bet that more people watched the Detroit Tigers win Game 1 of the ALCS than who watched the debate.
Well, if you [...]

With tonight’s second Gubernatorial Debate scheduled for 8 p.m. it appears that there is now a third party taking place in the debate that just might out duel Governor Granholm and her opponent, Dick DeVos. You see, the debate is going up against the Detroit Tigers opening game of the American League Championship Series. [...]

Well, you would have to sift through a lot of rhetoric and all too typical mud-slinging by both candidates last night to find some interesting points made by either candidate. This wasn’t a debate, it was more like a schoolyard fistfight. It was exactly what I hoped it would not be.
However, I was [...]

Governor Jennifer Granholm and her Republican challenger, Dick DeVos, kick off their series of three debates tonight at 8 p.m. in East Lansing. You can catch the debate live on any Michigan public television station.
The debate will have an open question and answer format that will hopefully rise above rhetoric and result in some [...]

An informal online poll on the homepage of the Sturgis Journal shows Dick DeVos leading Jennifer Granholm 57% to 38% with the remaining 5% of the votes cast as ‘other.’ It is a small sample size (442 total votes as of this morning), but it does tend to show what the residents of one [...]

Speaking of pirates politics, I see that Dick DeVos and current Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm will be squaring off for three televised debates in October. The debates will take place October 2 in Lansing, October 10 in Grand Rapids, and October 16 in Southfield.
It should be interesting to see what comes out of these [...]
