Shares of General Motors Corp. plunged to their lowest price in more than 33 years, and Ford shares hit another 52-week low Thursday as analysts continued to speculate about just how bad things will get for U.S.-based automakers.
When a news cycle starts off like that (courtesy of the Oakland Press) you know you're in for a rough read over your morning coffee. And sure enough, the hits just keep on coming.

Posted at 8:58am on Jun. 10, 2008 "The Happening" (Teamster style)

Have you heard about that new movie from M. Night Shyamalan? The one with Marky Mark? It's called The Happening and no it wasn't filmed in Michigan. I haven't seen the flick and I probably won't. I read a couple of early reviews and folks haven't been particularly frightened or impressed but the movie certainly has an interesting premise. SPOILER ALERT!!! (Let it never be said that I'm not concerned about the sanctity of your movie-going experience.) The Earth wants to rid itself of human beings so it releases a gas or a toxin or something that causes everyone on the planet to... ahem... dispose of themselves in creative and, I'm sure the movie makers hope, terrifying ways.

Posted at 12:41pm on Feb. 29, 2008 Here's hoping the ghost of Juan-Gone doesn't haunt striking American Axle workers

While fifty Michigan families in the Grand Rapids area adjust to the news this morning that Fifth Third Bank is killing their jobs the news continues to be just as bleak on the east side of the State. American Axle is shuttered for the third day while workers continue marching the picket lines "backed" by their well paid union bosses at the UAW. The strike has affected more than just AA, leading to a shutdown of one automobile production facility thus far and threatening more auto jobs as time passes without a deal.

Posted at 9:42am on Dec. 20, 2007 Union Thuggery: Your tax dollars hard at work?!

As if there weren't already plenty of good reasons to consider moving Michigan's economy into the 21st century by making it a Right to Work State we get one more heck of a good reason via this morning's Associated Press. Yesterday the Michigan Civil Service Commission decided that it's OK for unions to automatically deduct political "donations" directly from the paychecks of public employees.
In other words, if their decision stands, the unions will have direct access to tax dollars to help fund their hate campaigns against conservative candidates. And make no mistake, when the union thugs start campaigning things can get down right hateful.
I remember walking the route of the 2006 Labor Day parade in Detroit with Dick DeVos and his family. We quickly picked up a large contingent of very angry union thugs screaming obscenities. But that was nothing. Par for the course. It's tough to expect thugs to behave in a civil manner. The shocking part came as we passed a checkpoint where the City of Detroit had a firetruck and an ambulance. One thug walked up behind the candidate and screamed into his ear "you see that ambulance? You just remember where it was. You keep walking and you're going to need it!"
Thanks to the Civil Service Commission pretty soon those will be your tax dollars at work. Not that they're going to get away with it that easily.
