Liberal Brunch

Well happy Labor Day weekend!! I hope you’re enjoying it, since it will probably be one of the last Labor Days we ever have in the US if the Republicans get their way. Though to be fair, none of us will be laboring anyway, if the GOP gets their way. Thom Hartmann was talking with [...]
Ari Adler smacked down by Autumn Smith
September 2, 2011 By 6 Comments
Just a quick follow up to Eclectablog’s work here. In the comments in this MLive article, Ari Adler (pictured) said this, My comment was specifically about the petition that Autumn Smith was circulating and collecting signatures on.

After dinner drinks
August 28, 2011 By 3 Comments
Hi all, I have a handful of things I’d like to share with you this evening. It’s a little late for a ‘brunch’ so I went with after dinner drinks. Why not? I have a few housekeeping tasks first. I changed the header at the top and took out the menus up there. This was [...]

August 26, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Now that the voters have enough signatures to get Paul Scott on the ballot, Rick Snyder says he’s “all in” for helping this guy out. According to a spokesman for Jase Bolger, “The (Michigan Education Association) may have been the first to declare war, but they may find out that they have awakened the sleeping [...]
“Judicial Watch” is watching out for you
August 26, 2011 By 3 Comments
Oh brother. Everytime these right-wing nutbags hit rock bottom, they find new ways to lower the floor. This time it’s “Judicial Watch” going after the First Lady for her trip to Africa. In case you aren’t aware of them, Judicial Watch is a “conservative, non-partisan educational foundation” where they attack Democrats, progressives, workers, community organizers, [...]
Ohio Congressman confiscates cameras at town hall meeting
August 25, 2011 By Leave a Comment
OMG. I just created the “can’t not blog” category for crazy bits like this. Media were permitted to record the event, making the ban on citizen cameras all the more baffling. Clearly no “security” threat existed; rather, as one of Chabot’s staffers told ThinkProgress, they wanted to “prevent” people from “making a show” of the [...]
Michigan Catholic Conference blasts GOP welfare cuts
August 25, 2011 By 3 Comments
Hey remember yesterday, when the GOP proudly bitchslapped people who were receiving assistance for luxuries like food? That’s right, the GOP House of Representatives fast tracked House Bills 4409 and 4410, which will end assistance for “a minimum of 13,000 families and some 25,000 children.” Well, the Michigan Catholic Conference has something to say about [...]

August 24, 2011 By 5 Comments
Phobe McBigot: Double the hatred, half the intellect. After months of intense study, the BFM crack investigative team can finally reveal that term-limited State Representative Dave Agema is secretly the evil-doing Phobe McBigot. A cruel and hateful Legion of Gloom minion, McBigot’s only joy is in causing harm to people who are different from him.* [...]

Good morning all and thanks for visiting BFM today. A little bit of housekeeping … we’ve been having some internal discussions on how to structure the front page in such a way that you can easily scan through all of the new posts. If you have any suggestions on this or anything else on the [...]
Recall Rick Snyder in 2 hours or less
August 18, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Let’s be real. The Fire Snyder campaign needs volunteers. Are you one of the people who would volunteer if you had time? You’ve thought about it but you just can’t see how you can make the time? Kids, school, work, husband, wife, church, stuff, and oh just everything. I get it. But Fire Snyder needs [...]

August 10, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Hoo boy, this is going to irritate the teabaggers. The Department of Energy announced today that more than $175 million has been awarded to fund energy research projects. Specifically, the projects will help improve the fuel efficiency of next generation vehicles. The awards reflect only a portion of the investment in these projects. There are [...]
