One word: Friday.

Four links:

  • MichMess: Supreme Court rejects appeal by Okemos church. A zoning dispute between Meridian Township and the Living Water Church ends with SCOTUS as they decline to hear the case.
  • Freep: How candidates tap Michigan's pockets. Shocker of shockers, McCain's money is coming from GR and the tony suburbs of Detroit.
  • LSJ: MSU increases tuition by 6.8 percent. No more homework, no more books, no more teachers' dirty looks. Just sticker shock.
  • DetNews: Kilpatrick won't attend Obama rally at The Joe on Monday. Duh.

It's Friday! Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows!

UPDATED 4:10PM by PerfectStormer: Via Big Orange, NBC/MSNBC pundit and Meet The Press host Tim Russert passed away today, collapsing after suffering a massive heart attack. Our condolences to his family and friends. We may not always have agreed with him, but he was a well-respected journalist and he will be missed.

Yes, Tim will be missed (4.00 / 5)
There's lots of discussion going on over at DemocraticUnderground.  This is just so sad; he was so young.

My heart goes out to his family and co-workers.  His shoes will be hard to fill on MTP.


Hear, hear Sharon! (4.00 / 4)
My heart foes out to his family.  My dad also died when he was 58.  Very sad.

To prepare for when your life flashes before your eyes, make sure it's fun to watch.

I feel like I have lost a friend ... what a terrific man. (4.00 / 1)


Condolences (4.00 / 3)
We lost Tim, but all the uneducated, unethical, yammering talking heads are still live and kicking. Something is definitely wrong with this world.
