Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood: Reflexive Response

http://rogerswatch.blogspot.com/2010/07/reflexive-response.html

The people of Michigan's 8th Congressional District deserve better than Mike Rogers. Here is where the change begins. Tuesday, July 20, 2010. Far from being idle in DeeCee, Mr. Rogers has been busy saying "no" to some pretty common-sense bills, and his knee-jerk opposition is just, well, jerky. Mr Rogers voted against the Flood Insurance Reform Priorities Act. Which pretty much does what it says:. Perhaps Mr. Rogers needs a peek at FEMA's list of 2010 flood disaster. We all know that Mr. Rogers is no...

Women and Feminism | Chicagoan in Montréal

https://chicagomontreal.wordpress.com/2005/09/13/women-and-feminism

I am in no way implying that the women I know from Chicago are not strong women. I look up to all the women in my family and my women friends. Heck, my mother rides a motorcycle and runs a few marathons a year, how much stronger can you get? As with all my post, I am talking about the people I meet and see on the street and this is just one man’s observations. Personnally, I have always felt men and women should be on equal ground.

Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood: Where He Stands: Military

http://rogerswatch.blogspot.com/2006/12/where-he-stands-military.html

The people of Michigan's 8th Congressional District deserve better than Mike Rogers. Here is where the change begins. Sunday, December 10, 2006. Where He Stands: Military. Mike Rogers often talks about his support for the troops, but a look at his voting record shows that talk is about all they are getting from him. Here are just a few of Rogers’ votes on military health care, at a time when U.S. troops are returning home with increasingly serious and complex injuries:. The Disabled American Veterans.

Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood: Do you know Mr. Rogers?

http://rogerswatch.blogspot.com/2006/12/do-you-know-mr-rogers.html

The people of Michigan's 8th Congressional District deserve better than Mike Rogers. Here is where the change begins. Wednesday, December 6, 2006. Do you know Mr. Rogers? The best voters are educated voters.or so the saying goes. Do you know Mike Rogers? Or have you just seen his Campaign Ads and read the material that's been sent to your house? Mr Rogers isn't the most friendly of guys. In fact, his Congressional ranking by various interest groups has been less than favorable. December 6, 2006 at 8:30 PM.

Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood: Because a Million Just Isn't Enough...

http://rogerswatch.blogspot.com/2010/06/because-million-just-isnt-enough.html

The people of Michigan's 8th Congressional District deserve better than Mike Rogers. Here is where the change begins. Thursday, June 10, 2010. Because a Million Just Isn't Enough. Mike Rogers just can't stop raising money for his campaign, even though he no longer has an opponent. Yesterday, Mr. Rogers wined and dined (literally) at his luncheon for the telecom industry. At the Sonoma Restaurant and Wine Bar. The restaurant, where the main floor is. And the second floor. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

A Movement of Inconvenience. Bull;March 30, 2013 • Leave a Comment. Convenience is slowly destroying us. The favorite sales pitch is that the product will save us time, money, and effort. Often a convenience is a simple added feature that makes life a little easier. But in the end is easier really better? It seems to be harming our health both physically and mentally. It takes less effort to do minor tasks and less thinking for standard exercises like remembering somebody’s phone number. But this is diff...

Persona Non Grata | Chicagoan in Montréal

https://chicagomontreal.wordpress.com/2013/10/15/persona-non-grata

Yes, once again there has been yet another effort to ‘protect’ Quebec ‘values’ in the news as of late. If I sound cynical that this truly is an effort to protect, it is because during my ten years in Quebec I have heard this repeated in efforts to ostracize all ‘others. The arguments against the charter point out that the charter encroaches on the right of people express themselves. It is also argued that by prohibiting women who wish to display their religion and who do not follow tenants of the rel...

Facades | Chicagoan in Montréal

https://chicagomontreal.wordpress.com/2009/07/17/facades

Last night a woman was killed in downtown Montreal when a 3 foot by 5 foot section of precast concrete came loose from the facade of the building above her and fell to the ground. A very tragic story. Since she was seated at a table in a restaurant across from her husband celebrating her birthday. On a personal note, I almost went into the field of building forensics and facade investigation a couple times during my career. When I first left school I had an interview with Wiss, Janney, Elstner. You are c...

PBS and Sundays | Chicagoan in Montréal

https://chicagomontreal.wordpress.com/2013/04/04/pbs-and-sundays

With the passing of Roger Ebert today, I am once again reminded about PBS and Sunday afternoons and I’ve come to realize how much that lineup of shows during my childhood has had a strong influence on my interests. Granted, it was long enough ago that I can’t remember which shows were on Sundays and which were on weeknights, but just the same, these are the ones I remember. Nova was a must-see show for me. I’ve always loved science and how deeply it is intertwined with every aspect of life....There were ...
