- In a situation that feels eerily similar to the tyranny that TiVo used to exert over me--when I was unwilling to give the thumbs down to its suggested programs that I didn't actually hate but didn't really want to watch--I'm in a dysfunctional relationship with Amazon.com.

The group contends that the tax should be increased to raise money for transportation improvements.

However, I had one that probably would've run rampant on my site had I not locked his IP. If you were on this site about 45 minutes ago, you would've noticed that this post had 90 comments on it. Yes, you read that right. |

- "The coverage is managed and 'spun' and, when needed, shifted to new topics — positive stories of victories ... Americans and Iraqis continue to die, on a daily basis, but the stories of these deaths no longer generate front-page news coverage.

- Hamlin Lake by Ludington is still great for bluegills and fisherman are still on the ice. The same lakes that have been safe are still safe but we have not added any to the list.
