Surveyin’ da Situation: The joy of gabbing

Come Heller high water … the July 27th edition
Come Heller high water … So, for my Flint area friends, I’m hearing that Durand’s mysterious “Project Tim” might very well be a Tesla plant. If this turns out to be incorrect, I’ll deny I ever said it. But if I’m right, then, well, I told you so and you should have listened … [Read more...]
Auchtoon Time: Republicans choosing ideology over common sense when it comes to health care

The food department at the New York Times recently taste-tested 10 hot dog brands to determine the best. Koegel franks and Viennas from Flint were not on the list. Now that’s what I call fake news. I’m sorry to use a Trump term like that, especially a bogus one, … [Read more...]
