On my way home from work on Wednesday, I was scanning the AM radio channels, as I usually do, and found myself listening to Sean Hannity -- I do it so you don’t have to -- on WOOD 1300 in Grand Rapids. The always-revolting Hannity moved to commercial break, during which a "Freedom’s Watch" ad was aired. It was the one that features Iraq war veteran Andrew Robinson, who was on his second tour of duty when he was wounded by an IED in June of 2006. Andrew lost the use of his legs. In the ad, Andrew tells us why he believes "victory (in Iraq) is America's only choice." The ad ends with a plea for the audience to call their representatives in congress and tell them to support freedom, and it directs them to dial 1 (877) 222-8001 to be put through to the office of their representative.

Over the course of the weekend, I've heard and read a number of references alluding to the fact that Bush believes he will "take Michigan." This talking point was repeated again this morning by E.D. Hill on FOX and Friends. Given that Michigan has been hit hard by the downturn in the economy, Bush has been no friend to the Great Lakes, and many Michiganians expressed outrage at the war in Iraq, this statement doesn't make sense. Unless, of course, you live in Bush world and you've got the evil Betsy DeVos as your state party chairman. When you read the link below, it becomes clear how the Anti-Gay Marriage Ammendment that is on the ballot here is really a low ploy in partisan politics to try to swing the state in Bush's favor.

I'm a student of communications and public relations.

In addition to the fact that John Kerry is the right candidate at the right time, his consistent opinions on the Iraq war, jobs, and the economy offer insight into why Kerry wins the White House this year. Read More

The Catholic Church is sending out voter registration forms in its Church bulletins, and priests are offering parishoners dubious information (in my opinion) on how "good Catholics" should vote this year. Read More
