"Tea Party forces will still win in the end," Theda Skocpol writes, unless moderate Republicans can defeat them. Skocpol concedes that the Tea Party "will triumph just by hanging on long enough" as Americans are getting fed up by…

I wrote this just before Christmas 1980.  I was on Temporary Duty at Ramstien AB, then West Germany.  I was with most of my shop and other parts of the 601 Tactical Control Squadron based at Pruem AS, West Germany.  So we were all away from home twice this Christmas.  My home in Michigan.  My duty station at Pruem.…

“On the ninth of my planned 15 bomb runs, at 1,200 feet, an enemy antiaircraft shell exploded in the cockpit. Instinctively, I pulled back on the stick to gain altitude. Then I passed out. When I came to a short time later, I couldn’t see a thing. There was…

I just got back from attending a special meeting of the Township Board.  The main topic was Health Care.

The old policy for Township Employees (there are not many) was cancelled due to Barry's Death Care.  It was a 90-10 plan.  Now the best the Township is allowed to do is a 70-30 plan with a higher co-pay cap that costs about 6% more.

Tonight, I gave the Gunplain Charter Township Board at their monthly meeting the Resolution below to pass.  Well, they neither passed it or defeated it.  So it is still pending.  At the meeting, the Supervisor announced that the Township's Health Insurance policy has been cancelled due to "Obama Care".  Interesting timing.

I gave a copy of my Resolution to this district's County Commissioner.  He is going to show it to the County Administrator to see if the County can act on…
