This is a platform to comment on local, state and national politics and political news. A special area of interest is the role of corporate media in politics as we move closer and closer to one huge corporation owning all of the media outlets in the country and stifling all independent and critical voices. It will also focus on the absurd 30-plus year Nixonesque political strategy of the “liberal media” lie. This blog is on temporary hiatus because of my job and thin-skinned Republicans.

The weekly installment of the ‘Two Minutes of Hate’
It’s that time again for another weekly installment of hate speech, outrageous comments and racist wisdom from the queen of hate, Ann Coulter, as her scheduled appearance at Cleary University’s Economic Club Speakers Luncheon Series on Oct. 1 draws closer.
"God gave us the earth. We have dominion over the plants, the animals, the trees. God said, 'Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it. It's yours.'"---Hannity & Colmes, 6/20/01
As you are aware, there is a growing number of people trying to stop Coulter from coming to Livingston County, and we want to save Cleary from blowing $30,000 and embracing a hatemonger like Coulter.
One way we can do that is to contact the sponsors of the series and ask them to uninvited Coulter. This week we are highlighting the Howell Area Chamber of Commerce. We have included the snail mail address, the email address and phone numbers of the board members. I urge you to contact them and politely express your concern with Coulter’s appearance. The most important point to be made, again, is her appearance in Livingston County reinforces the general perception that Livingston County is a safe haven for racists and bigots of all ilks, and paying her the outrages sum of $30,000 means we not only embrace her bigoted and hateful views we are willing to pay handsomely for them.
