WHO WAS THE REAL THRILLER?

Yes Michael Jackson will be missed! He was the King of pop, or was that pop’s ,just what did the little boys call him. What I miss is the 1,000’s of Farah Faucet posters we would have seen, in the media last week, were it not for her demise being upstaged by the King of Wacko. My guess is the little boys will say Jacko you are not missed, the men will say Farah you are.

WEEKEND WITH BERNIE…NOT

Hopefully for the rest of Bernie Madoffs life his weekends will be spent with a 300 pound, bad breath, foul body smelling, elder L.A. Crip lifer with an attitude and active sex life.

U.S. PULLS OUT OF IRANS CITIES

Our solder’s are still dying over there. Lets not forget the implications of bad policy, leaders who mislead us and a Congress full of followers, our solder die. This bad political policy was executed on the ground by the strongest most professional armed forces in the world. This example of our will to fight may be the Bush legacy. That alone will keep the enemy from our shores.

“I’LL BE BACK” MORPHED INTO I.O.U

The Schwarzenegger’s legacy. Too many steroid’s have caused the pumping Gov to be characterized as ‘surrel” “odd” and “completely unacceptable.” After Bush and now Schwarzenegger, just why would any body except RUSH… vote for a Republican?


REPUBLICANS GLEEFULLY STOMP ON THE REPUTATION OF A HISPANIC WOMAN

The Supreme Court on Monday narrowly ruled in favor of white firefighters in New haven Conn. By narrow that means some of justices did not rule in favor of the firefighters. In fact often there are simple majorities not unanimous votes that pass Supreme Court opinions. Many want to bash Judge Sonia Sotomayor because her lower court judgement caused the appeal. Republicans have said “ This case will raise more questions in the minds of the American people concerning Judge Sotomayors commitment to treat each individual faily and not as a mamber of a group,”said Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama, the senior Republiocan on the Senate judiciary Committee.

Bunk, the case is far more complicated and subtle that than this inbred craker comment would indicate. Sotomayor will not be another mediocre yes woman for the American right wing. She will be her own person. Good pick Mr. President. With this attack why would any Hispanic support the republican party.

BLOGGING FOR MICHIGAN- DEMOCRATS ARE ABOUT TO GIVE IT UP

Check out Christines article. She says “ …the democrats are about to capitulate on the public option on health care.” see her story at http://bloggingformichigan.com/

LOOK AT THE EXAMPLE OF OUR TROOPS IN THE FIELD PROTECTING OUR BORDER.

Become a public policy warrior. Listen ,you want elected official to reflect the majority opoinion for the most part, let them know what it is, we want national healthcare. Other times concerning issues of ethics or justice we want the timid we elect to become lions. The reality is except for a Kennedy, Obama or Joe none wish to get too far out front. Push them out front with the strength of your voice. Get involved.

TO THE CITIZENS OF IRAN

Keep it up, your battle , citizens of your country confronting power in your country is how freedom is really won.

Flint Classic Cars, Mark Farner and PR

GOOD MORNING FLINT!6/28/09

It appears 50% of the Flint boomers I talked with had a personal experience with Mark Farmer. The man must have gotten around Flint. Photos and video follown with a little PR.

Flint MI , how should we respond to Rush?

So how should a native son respond to Rush saying" Flint should bulldozed?Respond I do intend. What is the best way. In what way can a Flint response to Rush create for Flint & Its Flint Revival a positive image of our community.I was born in Flint, I live in Flint, My Law Practice is Downtown Flint and I am in partnership producing Mark Farner Flint Revival ,Rock Concert 8/15/09 at Atwood Stadium. Suggestions? Two follow.....

The following letter was sent, Kildee authorized its relaese

June 18, 2009
Rush Limbaugh
340 Royal Palm Way,
Suite 304 Palm Beach,
FL 33480

Dear Mr. Limbaugh:

The people of Flint deserve to live in clean and safe neighborhoods, free of blight.

We don’t want to ‘bulldoze Flint’ as you say, just bulldoze the empty and abandoned houses left behind as a result of the economic dislocation due to the loss of 70,000 GM jobs.

Our aim is to rid our neighborhoods of empty structures that the market simply cannot absorb, and reshape Flint to be a stronger and better city.

This is a market-based approach that is not a liberal or conservative. It’s a practical solution to a problem faced by cities all across the country.

Neither is this a partisan political issue, as you seem to think. While it is true that the Obama administration has shown interest in our Land Bank concept, so did the Bush administration. In fact, it was the Bush administration that first called me to Washington last year as they were formulating their response to the mortgage crisis.

This is not about politics, Rush.

This is about the people of Flint and the neighborhoods they live in. Period. I am inviting you to come to Flint and see for yourself. Come and broadcast your radio show from Flint if you like – I am sure it could be arranged.

I will personally pick up the tab for your flight and hotel, and I’ll even buy you a coney-island hot dog, Flint style.

You’ll see a community that has not given up at all, but has decided to remake itself. We do have a ways to go to reverse 30 years of disinvestment.

But you’ll see that we’re on the right path – we have demolished over 1000 abandoned houses, and in the last year we’ve seen over $100 million in new private investment in our downtown.

I‘ve heard you say that the news media needs to be fair and present a balanced view of the issues. Well, Rush - you are the media. Here’s your chance to be fair and balanced about Flint. Dan Kildee Genesee County Treasurer

I can just imagine how many "takes" she took to finally eloquently enunciate "Mark Farner" and "Farmer's Market in Flint" in the same sentence!

On camera no less!

Add the fact that she had to say: August "fifteenth" too, and I think she's ready for a "cold one" from one of the sponsors foamy fountains. Good thing she didn't add the"Forty Year's Funkin'" quip!from Cruizinsuezin

But, speaking of sameness, how easy is that to remember: "Farmer Farner at..." No wait, Mark Farmer (happens all the time) Mark Farner's Marketed at Flints Farmer's Market...yeah, that's the ticket! Oh, [Caution cheesy question ahead] Somebody say ticket? from Cruizinsuezin

GM dead, Flint Rocks on.......

Good Morning Flint!
Terry Bankert 6/2/09
http://attorneybankert.com/

General Motors died yesterday…..

Our grandparents, parents, sibling, our children and ourselves toiled in those sweat shops.

How many 4 year wonder plant managers have we suffered to listen to.

How many elite sons of unwed mothers have we had to watch parade around OUR TOWN.

We suffered the humility of the working man catering to the tall thuggish, haircuts and suits that we allowed to parade around this town, our town.

Why, because we had to.

We had to pretend they gave a crap about us.

We had to pretend that because they fought to their GM position that magically they were intelligent about all other issues and should be listened too.

We watched the now half dead Flint Journal sell us out time and time again pandering to General Motors Corporate interest.

They did not care about us, we only cared about them for the jobs they provided. General Motors died yesterday, it went bankrupt. But with this bankruptcy goes the old Flint.

The bad news is with this bankruptcy goes the hopes and dreams of old Flint the security of our retirees, the economic stability of our working men and women and any hopes of keeping our children in this town.

The good news, we do not have to listen to these General Motors bastards any more.

The best news is that there are many good economic oppotunities in Flint and Michigan.

Flint has an emerging non GM business foundation, we will thrive we will revive. Join us at the Flint Revival 8/15/09.

Who should we, the new Flint, listen to….I’lll see ya August 15 2009.….

Flint Farner and rocking for Hope

Good Morning Flint! Terry Bankert
6/1/09
http://attorneybankert.com/

Its 75 days until the Mark Farner Concert in Atwood Stadium in Flint MI. Its 90 days until General Motors is expected to emerge from bankruptcy.

Its with in days of the doctor murdered by pro-lifers being buried.

We are weeks away from another North Korean missile firing and world confrontation. And somewhere out there an asteroid has our name on it.

Lots of bad news, our government is not telling us everything , but that Mark Farner brings good news and hope. Hope from a rock concert, give me a break. Yes hope. Mark Farner the people’s rocker coming to his home town Flint Michigan.

Hope that the enthusiasm of the 60’s that helped people out of the Vietnam war can helps bring hope and joy to our Flint lives.

Hope that by a coming together the human beings left in Flint from all ages and walks of Flint can join together for a celebration of hope. Yes I am involved in the promotion of this event. But look at the opportunity for re birth we have in Flint from the new thriving small business, neighborhood revitalization occurring with out government assistance to the raw strength of a people that are going to stick it out and build for a collective future.

Flint will come together August 15 2009 and rock for joy in Atwood Stadium.
