  • The Future of the DNR

    Take the 5 minutes to watch this video. This is me on the video - not really, butit could be, except I’m not male, I’m better looking (sorry Rory), and I’m a wee bit younger. I digress. The idea behind what I’ve been saying all along, and behind the rally in Marquette [...]

  • Perception vs. Truth

    Number of comments: 1
    On a forum I belong to, there is someone who is (I feel) is a plant, therefore wearing kneepads for the DNR. Everything that comes out of Becky Humphries mouth is sworn gospel, taken at face value with little regard to delving into the issues enough to look for actual [...]

  • Presidential Questions - do you have answers?

    Number of comments: 1
    Ouch. McCain jumped ahead - not by a little, but by a lot. Personally, I’m not a fan - I don’t believe he represents the true Conservative Party. Plus, he is a turncoat. I’m a Romney fan. Actually, I was tossing between Huckabee & Romney, but I really think that Romney [...]

    I’m just rolling my eyes at this one. Becky Humphries had a meeting on Saturday with the Michigan Outdoor Writers’ Association to give a line of crap explain again the whole budget debaucle. Here is the new twist on it - the DNR wasn’t really in the red at all - they [...]

    Sitting at my computer last night, I suddenly heard the soul-wretching screams of a woman saying “Why are you doing this to me??”. I turned around, and my husband had found a newsclip of a woman being strip searched. I couldn’t bear to listen or even think about what was [...]

  • Are you stimulated, baby?

    Number of comments: 2
    Stimulating the economy by giving people money. When you give a person some fish, they will eat it. Teach a person to fish and they will feed an entire community. Or, something like that. Unfortunately, we see the government more and more “giving” to the needy, but not giving them the tools [...]

    Dave! I loved the Insane Asylum reference, because, well - that’s basically what our government is right now! “Flip this House” by Meredity was cute, too - referenced to the tv show, but also the need to change a few things! Pajones, I loved the “patients included” - although, I’m not too sure [...]

  • Penalized for spouse stupidity?

    Number of comments: 3
    There are a lot of good people in the DNR, and there are some bad ones. Unfortunately, when they are bad, they are really bad and that magnifies the attitude towards the department even more. So, my question to you is, should a state of Michigan employee be penalized for the [...]

    The picture really brings home to me the real reason of the season. An angel, quietly herding some sheep and looking on as the birth of Jesus unfolds. I vow every single year that I won’t be too busy, that I won’t get too wrapped up in the commercialization of the [...]
