Happy Tuesday to you and yours!

  • BFM: Got RPS? Granholm Signs Energy Legislation - Now that the ink is freshly dried on this new legislation, check out all of the great things happening around the state because of it. 
  • LSJ: Mich. beefs up training for green jobs - While the economy still stinks, MI's schools are offering a way for others to pull themselves up by their bootsraps. Maybe it is right for you!
  • West Michigan Rising: I'm hearing scary things - Phil's got a very real point here that we all need to sit up and pay attention too. Head over and check it out.
  • Conservative Media: Developer will provide steam for proposed rail line -  Livingston and Washtenw Counties are now even closer to making their dream of a rail line possible.
  • LSJ: 5% more local voters register to vote - And that's just in the Mid-Michigan area alone. November 4th looks to be a busy day here in Michigan!
  • Detroit News: Book Cadillac makes a comeback - The goregous structure we've all seen looming over downtown Detroit has been completely restored and is as goregous as ever. Be sure to check out the photo gallery of yesterday's opening. 
  • Rochelle Riley: The easy, 18-step guide to losing a presidential election - A snarky commentary on McCain-Palin's failing ways as only she can do it.

That's it for us, add your snark or commentary below and have yourself a great one!

Republicans for Schauer (4.00 / 1)
Mark Schauer was endorsed by a bunch of Republicans today, highlighting his bipartisanship and highlighting just how out of the mainstream Tim Walberg is.

The biggest catch (besides Joe Schwarz, again) is probably David Stimpson, who's a county commissioner in Lenawee County. He's the only current officeholder on the list, and he might help make Lenawee County competitive.

If Walberg can't put away Lenawee County, he's in serious trouble.
