Dear Michigan Drivers

Posted by craig Published in Rants

Dear Michigan Drivers,
Hi! How are you? I’m doing well. Just wanted to give you all a friendly little reminder about something I think we all could stand to learn more about.
See, yesterday we had this funny white stuff all over the ground. If you were here during the SuperBowl, you’d remember they also had the [...]

Goodbye, Don Knotts

Posted by craig Published in A day in the life

Goodbye, Mr. Knotts.

I don’t [...]

The Detroit Zoo, or why the Detroit City Council needs a spanking

Posted by craig Published in Rants

In case you aren’t up on the local news in the Detroit area, the Detroit City Council, (one of the whiniest gaggle of politicians to ever waddle into politics) voted down a proposal to fund the Detroit Zoo with $4 million in state dollars, and move the day-to-day operations to the non-profit Zoological society. Their [...]
