Regional Transit Takes Another Blow in Detroit | Cynical Synapse
https://cynicalsynapse.wordpress.com/2009/11/30/regional-transit-takes-another-blow-in-detroit
Mon, 30 Nov 2009. Regional Transit Takes Another Blow in Detroit. 8212; cynicalsynapse @ 8:19 pm. Detroit is the only major metropolitan area without a functional, integrated public transportation system. The city has its Detroit Department of Transportation (DDOT) and the suburbs have the Suburban Mobility Authority for Rapid Transit (SMART). Far from being smart, the two systems don’t coordinate services and SMART doesn’t even service all surburban communities. And that’s the crux of metro Detroi...

http://fresh-air-57.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Political commentary with an honest edge. . . Wednesday, March 12, 2014. No one wants Obamacare. The Sebillus gang has cooked the books so many times that even they. So, on March 12, 2014, this is how the world goes round. Oh, a couple more news items of special interest:. A family was held captive by their 22-pound house cat; and. Lena Dunham might quit acting. Regarding the family held captive by the cat: The cat is okay, and the owners have been remanded to therapy. And Lena? Saturday, March 8, 2014.

Woodward Transit Project on Track | Cynical Synapse
https://cynicalsynapse.wordpress.com/2010/02/20/woodward-transit-project-on-track
Sat, 20 Feb 2010. Woodward Transit Project on Track. 8212; cynicalsynapse @ 3:04 pm. Michigan doesn’t seem to get a lot of good news. Even when it does, it’s usually a mixed blessing. Like unemployment is down, but it’s still the highest in the country at 14.5%. Or last month’s $40 million Federal grant for the Pontiac-Chicago Amtrak line. The money is for station improvements, not upgrading the line itself to high-speed standards. Michigan had asked for $800 million to upgrade track and signaling. Detro...

Detroit’s Mayor Bing: On the Wrong Bus | Cynical Synapse
https://cynicalsynapse.wordpress.com/2009/08/25/detroits-mayor-bing-on-the-wrong-bus
Tue, 25 Aug 2009. Detroit’s Mayor Bing: On the Wrong Bus. 8212; cynicalsynapse @ 11:08 pm. Detroit’s finances are in the toilet and I sympathize with Mayor Bing on that. I really do. There’s no solution that everyone will like; any choice he makes will be unpopular with someone or other. But, the idea of cutting bus service. Is like cutting off your nose to spite your face. It’s penny wise and dollar foolish! Remember, Engler now lives and works in the DC area. Does this make any rational sense? With no ...

He who has never felt, momentarily, what madness is has but a mouthful of brains." - Herman Melville. Monday, December 12, 2011. I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season. I'm taking a break for awhile. I can't go to Hawaii for 17 days like the Obamas and spend a gob-zillion bucks, but I can enjoy the holidays just the same. God bless, and see you after the New Year.

He who has never felt, momentarily, what madness is has but a mouthful of brains." - Herman Melville. Friday, October 26, 2012. Yes, he thinks we're stupid. Here are a few of the comments I'm reading about O's plan for the next four years:. Obama's pathetic picture book. And 'The Very Hungry Catepillar.'". Paul Ryan is mocking. Obama's new brochure on the campaign trail, calling it a "slick repackaging of more of the same" and a "comic book.". A manufacturing policy; green jobs (! And "education"- whatev...

He who has never felt, momentarily, what madness is has but a mouthful of brains." - Herman Melville. Thursday, October 25, 2012. What Losing Looks Like. Of voting for this clown again. I (sort of) understood the first time- first blackety-black president, blah, blah blah. But not this time. Those signs depress me. However, there are other signs that give me hope, such as articles like these:. This one is from the website. The article by Erick Erickson: " Obama's Hubris Will be His Undoing. I]n recent we...
