The original blog covering Barry County and West Michigan's political scene. Sunday, December 28, 2008. 2008- Leftovers (part 1). I think going forward it would do us well to take a look back at things left unsaid, and those little items that made mention but were lost in posts that may have been on a different subject at the time. The subject comes up again, while discussing the popularity numbers for our Governor. Not as unpopular as they would have you believe. I'm taking my chances with this post sin...

Discussions of Barry County Michigan. Topics of happenings in Barry County. Saturday, August 30, 2008. A few weeks ago I noticed a few things. My hostas were bloomed. I had walnuts falling in my yard. When I mentioned this fact to folks, they said it because of the lack of rain. Then the other night it was 48 degrees! I have yet to have anyone tell me that was from lack of rain. The Farmers Almanac predicts "numbs the word". I have a feeling they are right! Is this a huge discussion in Barry County?

Discussions of Barry County Michigan. Topics of happenings in Barry County. Friday, June 20, 2008. What exactly is politics?

Discussions of Barry County Michigan. Topics of happenings in Barry County. Saturday, July 26, 2008. Here I am again, speaking on a subject I know little about. Hopefully yet again I can learn more. Here is my opinion and thoughts on guns. First of all I am a gun owner. I am not a member. I see no need to carry a weapon in Hastings. The march was to make a statement, which was bad for both Leaf and Sarver. Believe or support a cause ( ie. And Leaf are all about the votes. What I do have a problem with is...
