I have to assume that the marketing director at the casino is non-native, otherwise there wouldn't have been a booking of him in the first place.
The Coeur d'Alene Tribe released an official statement from casino marketing director Laura Stensgar, alluding to a backlash among the tribal community
These protesters don't even live in Vassar, the small town in the title of this article; they are just taking advantage of the situation. They're even carrying guns now. WTH?
A bitter national debate over what to do with tens of thousands of young immigrants pouring into the U.S. is playing out in this small town 20 miles east of Saginaw.
The heavy-handed tactics, mostly from out-of-town groups, are bruising feelings and plunging the already financially reeling community into further turmoil, residents said.
The organization, (AFP) formed to fight big government and spending, is contacting 90,000 conservatives in Michigan and encouraging them to rally against a plan to provide $195 million in state money to help settle Detroit pension holders' claims in the case, a key element of the deal.
As a Troll (someone who lives under the Big Mac bridge) I have always been a little envious of the Yooper moniker. I mean, seriously, there is nothing cool about being a Troll unless you are a CG character in a Lord Of The Rings movie.
So congratulations, Ramona, you're in the dictionary!
Da "Yoopers" up dere in da U.P., Michigan's Upper Peninsula, have hit it big with inclusion of their nickname in Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary and the company's free online database.
What? You say you are a Democrat, and would never qualify? No, no, no… apparently ALEC is simply awash with progressive types like yourself. Don’t be shy gentle readers, ALEC wants you
So, I'm in the kitchen. All four dogs are in the kitchen with me. It's morning and that means it's time for cookies. The dogs all know this and they do not let it slip my mind. Ever.
All four furry dog butts are planted on the tiled floor in a row, all four tails going back and forth like they are competing in a synchronized tail wagging contest. Their expectant looks always make me smile and this scene is always the perfect way to start my day.
In the past, Koch Industries has distanced itself from AFP and its political activities. The company has said the group is just one of "hundreds of organizations" that receive funding from the Kochs and that it operates "independently" of Koch Industries. But the document suggests a close collaboration between officials of Koch Industries, AFP, and Freedom Partners, whose staff and board are stacked with numerous current and former Koch Industries employees.
After shuffling off the "Dancing with the Stars" stage, Bill Nye has decided to take on creationism with a debate tentatively scheduled between the Science Guy and Ken Hamm, founder of Kentucky's Creation Museum, for Feb. 4, at 7 p.m., according to news reports.
The Michigan State Legislature first passed the measure last year, but Governor Rick Snyder (R) vetoed it, saying he does not "believe it is appropriate to tell a woman who becomes pregnant due to a rape that she needed to select elective insurance coverage."
But the anti-abortion group Right to Life of Michigan was able to collect more than 300,000 voter signatures on a petition this year to force a second vote on the measure. Having been passed by both chambers, the bill automatically becomes law now, even without Snyder's approval.

Five years ago, U.S. trains transported just 9,500 carloads of oil, the association said. The number grew to 65,751 carloads in 2011 before jumping 256 percent last year, to 233,811 carloads.
The mile-long trains bound for the Irving Oil refinery in Saint John, New Brunswick, travel two routes through Maine, typically pulling 80 to 85 tank cars.
The Star has learned more about the mysterious black piles on the U.S. side of the river just east of the Ambassador Bridge.
The petroleum coke — or ‘petcoke’ as it’s called — recently started to be produced in much greater amounts at the nearby Marathon Oil refinery in Detroit.
The refinery, which sits behind Zug Island next to the I-75 freeway, completed a massive $2-billion facility upgrade last fall allowing it to process heavy Canadian crude oil brought in by pipeline from the Alberta oil sands. The refinery processes 120,000 barrels per day of crude oil.
There’s a plan to have most U.S. troops out of Afghanistan by the end of 2014, but no call yet on what to do with the 750,000 pieces of major military hardware in country – hardware worth $36 billion.
Planners have three basic options. Leave the equipment—or destroy it—in Afghanistan; move it to other U.S. military locations; or transfer it to another U.S. agency or another country. The estimated cost for the latter two: $5.7 billion.
Indeed, if the Corbett/Husted plan to rig the Electoral College had been law in several key Republican-controlled states that President Obama won last Tuesday, America would now be looking at a very different future.
