Perhaps you are under the impression that summers are fun and carefree, especially for kids. Perhaps you are incorrect. As a longtime connoisseur of scare journalism (“Next on News 4: What you don’t know about suntan lotion can kill you”), I feel it’s my duty to alert you … [Read more...]
Surveyin’ da Situation: Wanted: A good name for da camp, eh?
By John Matonich Steph and I took a ride this past Sunday. It was a nice day and I wanted to check out a few roads I hadn’t been down in a long time and I thought it would be great to have some “us” time as well. We were in a rural part of the county on some gravel roads that … [Read more...]
Come Heller high water … the pissed off edition
Come Heller high water… The Georgia House special election – won handily by the Republican – shows us two things: 1) Democrats continue to be a puzzling combination of wussy, arrogant and clueless when it comes to what voters want to hear. Wussy in that Jon Ossoff’s opponent … [Read more...]
Auchtoon time: The gun lobby’s complete control in Lansing
Toon & text by John Auchter Last week the Michigan House of Representatives passed a bill to allow most gun owners to carry concealed weapons without a permit or training. The legislation is being pitched by proponents as an efficiency effort to align with constitutional … [Read more...]
Settling the great pasty condiment debate once and for all
Now that it’s summer again and hordes of trolls (the live below the bridge kind, not the hate-spewing online kind) are headed to the U.P. on vacation, I thought I would perform a public service by helping them avoid a major food faux pas. Namely whether to put ketchup or gravy … [Read more...]

Surveyin’ da Situation: A dad, a slot machine and a message
Since we are coming up on mid-June and that is close to his birthday, I think it is only appropriate I tell another story about my old man. I believe we have all heard stories or had personal experiences of feeling as though someone close that we have lost reached out to touch us … [Read more...]
Come Heller high water … the June 7th edition
Come Heller high water … I get the sense that a lot of people think Jim Comey’s testimony tomorrow will be the beginning of the end for the Trumpster, but I wouldn’t be so sure about that. He can always use the George Costanza defense from “Seinfeld.” When he was outed for … [Read more...]
Auchtoon time: The GOP one-size-fits-all solution to everything
Toon and text by John Auchter My wife and I have a Japanese maple we planted several years ago as part of our house landscaping. It's been a nice little tree — generally healthy, somewhat sturdy (our cats like to climb to the top and pretend they're vultures), but it's never … [Read more...]
