Let us not forget our United States Servicemen

While I have been a very vocal critic of the Bush Administration’s Handling of the war in Iraq. I will always stand in honor for our United States Military.

Here is a video that I think everyone, Liberal, Conservative and everything in between, needs to watch: (H/T to Army Wife Toddler Mom and Tammi)

Please, support Military Ministry or Soldiers’ Angels

Let’s not forget those, who choose to serve our Nation, so that Bloggers, like me, can write and be free.

Finally!! — American Axle, UAW Reach Deal

It’s about time! Whew

The Local Story: ALERT: American Axle, UAW Reach Deal (Via WXYZ.com)

DETROIT (AP) — An American Axle and Manufacturing Holdings Inc. spokeswoman confirms the auto parts supplier has reached a tentative agreement with the United Auto Workers that could end an 11-week strike.

Spokeswoman Renee Rogers says she doesn’t have any details on the deal, reached late Friday. It’s not clear when the agreement will be presented to union members.

The walkout by about 3,600 workers at five factories had crippled truck and sport utility vehicle manufacturing at General Motors Corp.

The company makes axles, drive shafts and stabilizer bars for GM, Chrysler LLC and other automakers.

GM was forced to partially or fully close more than 30 factories and lay off thousands of workers because of parts shortages.

Glad to see that these two got their differences settled and are getting back to work, considering the economic conditions in this area, this was no time to sit out a long strike, I’m glad to see that all parties are back to work and production will be able to continue.

I suppose some of you are expecting me to make a anti-union comment, sorry, I, as an independent thinker, believe that unions have a right to exist and stand up for the right of those whom the represent, yes, I am aware of the corruption that exists in some, but not all, of the unions, but that does not mean that the unions do not serve their proper purpose. I also realize that, thanks to the Hillary Clinton and her idiot husband, that passed the NAFTA agreement, the unions standing in America has been diminished somewhat, hopefully, the next President, of whom it seems Obama will be that person, will fix that lopsidedness of that agreement or opt out of it. Thus restoring the unions rightful place in America.

By that as it may, I wish the workers at American axle all the best, and now, get back to work! WinkingBig Grin

About the "Sweety" Incident – Update: Obama Apologizes

Responding to this bunch of silly nonsense.

Peggy Agar is, for all indents and purposes an ratings seeking, attention whore.

Peggy Agar was reporter that was involved in the reporting of former Detroit reporter Suzanne Pagella, as was her station, WXYZ-TV here in Detroit. Suzanne Pegella ended up committing suicide after being publicly humiliated by WXYZ-TV.  

In short, this is nothing more than a media setup and she should be fired for it.

Yes, the term is offensive, but this was done purposely.

Update: Obama Apologizes:

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama has apologized to WXYZ reporter Peggy Agar for calling her "sweetie" during a campaign stop Wednesday in Sterling Heights.

Obama apologized in a voicemail he left on Agar’s cell phone at 3:16 p.m:

"Hi Peggy. This is Barack Obama. I’m calling to apologize on two fronts. One was you didn’t get your question answered and I apologize. I thought that we had set up interviews with all the local stations. I guess we got it with your station but you weren’t the reporter that got the interview. And so, I broke my word. I apologize for that and I will make up for it.

"Second apology is for using the word ‘sweetie.’ That’s a bad habit of mine. I do it sometimes with all kinds of people. I mean no disrespect and so I am duly chastened on that front. Feel free to call me back. I expect that my press team will be happy to try to make it up to you whenever we are in Detroit next."

Good on him for that, it should defuse this. Hopefully.

Hezbollah Spy gets off with a Gets $750 Fine, no jail time…

Interesting….

Debbie Schlussel has more, as do others.

I’ve noticed over at said Blogs that the comparison between this and the Compean and Ramos situation. There’s only one problem. There is no comparison.

The facts are this, Compean and Ramos engaged in the shooting of an unarmed, fleeing suspect, destroying evidence, and engaged in a cover-up, and they were prosecuted for it. Which I think is a good thing. There is a thing in this country, called the rule of law, and if you break it, you go to jail.

Much of the Internet coverage surrounding these two guys is given by Conservatives and some Nationalists. Much of which is mired in Racism.

I am all for the stopping illegal immigration, but for it to be done in a lawful manner. Not in a manner such as these two guys did.

I am sure there are two sides to every story, as I am sure there is here. But something doesn’t smell right with the supporters side of it.

Local News: Freman Hendrix calls for Detroit's mayor to resign…

Add another one to the list….

WWJ Newsradio 950 – Exclusive: Hendrix Calls for Kilpatrick Resignation, Considers Mayoral Run

Former Detroit mayoral candidate Freman Hendrix is calling on Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick to resign.

In a one-on-one interview with WWJ’s citybeat reporter Vickie Thomas Sunday night, Hendrix said it was time for Kilpatrick to step down and let the city more forward. “This scandal has been looming for…going on four months, five months, and you guys have been calling me for months trying to get a comment from me and I do not want to appear as some political vulture perched on a tree hoping for this guy’s demise.”

“At some point you really have to put the welfare of the city, of the taxpayers, of the people who live here first, and I think if he’s honest about doing that, I don’t think there’s any other conclusion he can come to than to step aside,” Hendrix added.

He spoke at his third annual Friends, Family, and Volunteers dinner, which included hundreds of attendees, including former Deputy Police Chief Gary Brown, who won part of the controversial $8.4 million whistleblower lawsuit that is tied to the ongoing mayoral text message scandal. “As you can see from this event, Detroiters are just starving for some leadership, leadership that’s honest, with integrity,” Brown said.

Hendrix also said he is considering another run for mayor, but stopped just short of making an official announcement, saying “Tonight, I’m not prepared to make that statement because it’s just not time yet.” He lost a close contest to Kilpatrick in 2005, following three years in the private sector. Before that, Hendrix served as Chief of Staff and Deputy Mayor under Mayor Dennis Archer.

His website still lists events from his 2005 campaign.

Yeah, Like that will happen… Don’t hold your breath, you might turn blue and die. Detroit’s Mayor won’t resign, unless he’s convicted and sentenced to prison.

Michigan Primary ain't happening….

With apologies to every English teacher I have had….

For all intents and purposes… A Michigan redo isn’t happening..

So nice to be a part of the damn political process in America. Rolling Eyes

"The Democrat Party, Where your votes don’t count, so why vote anyway?"

That should be their new slogan.

It’s enough to make a person want to move to Oregon.
