| Description: | This is a website about a lot of stuff written by a guy in the rust belt with obsessive compulsive disorder, a love of popular culture from days gone bye, and a desire to leave the world a better place than he found it, if not the ability to do so. There's usually stuff about liberal politics, the necessity of supporting local businesses, civil rights, sustainability, local food production, and, on rare occasion, something slightly humorous (usually having to do with unintentionally misspelled words). |

Beezy’s Bee Mayhew takes a few minutes to reflect on her first anniversary in Ypsilanti
Remember how I told you last year about a great new restaurant in Ypsi called Beezy’s? Well, it’s still here. And the food is still great. And, now that they’ve done what most new restaurants don’t, and reached their first anniversary, I thought that I’d ask Beezy’s owner, Bee Mayhew, a few questions. MARK: So, Bee, it’s been a year. Congratulations on making it this far. As you know, it’s a hurdle that most new restaurants don’t clear, even in areas that aren’t so economically depressed. With that said, how do you

Happy Buy Nothing Day
Happy Buy Nothing Day…. Or as we call it in the Maynard-Lao household, Buy Nothing but a Chick-fil-A Sandwich and a Movie Ticket Day. Seriously, however far along the anti-Black Friday continuum you are, here’s hoping you have a wonderful day, not being trampled with your family.

Something to be thankful for today… there wasn’t one single terrorist attack during the Bush adm
Former Bush press secretary Dana Perino went on FOX News yesterday to talk about the recent incidents at Fort Hood, and, in the process, took the opportunity to remind America that there were no terrorist attacks under the Bush administration. That’s right. The 9/11 attacks, and the anthrax attacks which followed them apparently took place during Democratic administrations. Here’s her quote, if you can believe it: “We did not have a terrorist attack on our country during President Bush’s term.” [note: Perino, just a few days before this, was

Germany considers the implementation of Integration Contract
While, as a good ACLU member, the thought of having to sign something like a loyalty oath makes me want to recoil in horror, I think there might be some merit to this new program that they’re considering in Germany. Given the current difficulty they’re having in assimilating immigrants, they’re considering the use of an “integration contract,” which aspiring immigrants would have to sign before entering the country. The contract would serve to affirm that the individual seeking residency shared some baseline of common values, such as a belief in “freedom of speech” and “wome
