A really slimy hit-piece on Michigan Militia founder "Mark From Michigan" - Ann Arbor Observer
Presumably because Koernke wouldn't give the author's an interview they felt free to utterly trash him. Some grad student who cuts & pastes shit from the SPLC website is their main source of info on him. Now Koernke is kinda of a goof, but even this article, bad as it is, shows that he's mainly been the victim of law enforcement rather than a law breaker himself.
Let Fake States Fail: Anarchy as a Viable Solution to Artificial States - Let A Thousand Nations Bloom (Claudia Williamson)
The article refers to African nation-states but it could just as easily been referring to failed American city-states like Detroit, or their offshoots such as the public schools, road commissions and the rest of the numerous other lesser government entities here in Michigan that clearly meet the criteria of failed states.

Accused Russian sex-bomb sleeper agent is kinda cute, but... - LA Times
But not enough for me to go to jail forever for doing espionage so I could do her. I wonder who would be swept up into a honey trap with her as bait? No doubt some would.
Michigan's ''texting while driving" ban starts today - Oakland Press
Really just a new pretext for pulling people over and issue tickets it seems to me.

A love note from Colton Harris-Moore - Backwoods Home (Claire Woolfe)
Toronto big-shots expressing doubts about hosting the G-20 summit - New Geography
As well they should. Local politicos and their kindred ilk at the chamber of commerce always tout the financial benefits of hosting such events but as with sporting events, political conventions and other special events they nearly always end up costing the host cities and their citizens way more than they bring in. And the G-20? Better have your riot police primed and ready and alert your hospitals and jails to prepare for an extra duty.
The very lucrative poverty industry - NPR's Fresh Air (Terry Gross) podcast
Pay-Day loans, rent-to-own, tax refund loans, pawnshops and other business entities that thrive from making high interest loans to the working poor.
