Proud of how we have come together to fight for Google Fiber

It's not easy to be excited about these days in Michigan. But I'm excited by how Kalamazoo has come together to make this a community effort. The Google Fiber project has brought the community together in ways that make this effort a winner even before the application is completed. How we are working on this together is one of the reasons I'm proud to call Kalamazoo home. Congratulation Kalamazoo, Portage, Oshtemo and Texas Townships and all the other township supervisors it's through joint efforts like these that our community will not only survive but thrive.

The true legacy of the time when Republicans controlled the Presidency and Legislature

A new report from the Government Accountability Office shows the EPA may have forgotten what the P in their name stands for, especially when it comes to kids. According to the report, over the past decade, the Environmental Protection Agency relaxed its commitment to keep children safe from the dangerous effects of pollution and officials habitually ignored the recommendations put forth by the agency's own children's health advisory committee. (Or as Sen. Frank Lautenberg - D., NJ - put it, efforts to protect children from environmental hazards "ground to a halt during the Bush administration" and the EPA office for children's health "withered on the vine.") For example, in 2008, the head of the EPA's children's office at the time — a woman named Ruth McCully — told investigators it just "wasn't her job to determine whether the air outside schools contained high levels of toxic chemicals."

Conservatives have apparently learned some new words recently Socialism, Communism, Fascism etc. They don't seem to understand the words since they use them interchangeably but they use them none the less. However if they want to fight socialism a good place to start would be the cable TV industry. Personally I have little interest in sports, so when I asked my TV provider why I had to buy ESPN I was told it was a "Very popular channel." When I said I didn't want it I was told that by making it a part of a tier of service it made it less expensive for all subscribers. 

My question now is where is the right wing angst over socialism. Why am I forced to purchase a channel I have no use for to make it less expensive for the people who want this service. That my friends is socialism. Why are the Tea Party People not protesting in front of cable company offices as we speak?
