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.

Clarke drops out of the race for Michigan Governor in 2010
State Sen. Hansen Clarke, D-Detroit, is no longer a Democratic candidate for Michigan Governor in 2010.
He broke the news in a short statement on his Facebook page, saying “I will continue my work on cutting insurance costs, creating and saving jobs, helping families, and generating sustainable economic growth. I deeply appreciate your support! Thank you.”
He has been pushing the petition drive to put the Fair Affordable Insurance Act on the November 2010 ballot. It had earlier been speculated that the term-limited Senator may be running to unseat U.S. Rep. Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick, D-Detroit. I hope he makes that run.
