Michigan
Great Lakes voters have already elected their fair share of climate zombies. Dave Camp (MI-04) dithers about "a great deal of uncertainty with regard to the scientific evidence regarding climate change," while incumbent
is quite sure we've gone through similar cycles in the past. Mike Rogers (MI-08) wants to investigate "alarming reports of altered data" taken from the manufactured "climategate" scandal. Candice Miller (MI-10)knows that climate has always changed, and Thad McCotter (MI-11) believes it's wrong to look at selected periods of time to prove a manmade global warming.
Likewise, climate zombies are candidates for Congress. Bill Huizenga (MI-02) decries "global warming doomsayers" being driven by "irrational fascism." Andrew Raczkowski (MI-09)believes that the jury is still out. I'm considering Don Ukrainec (MI-14) a denier based on his response to a VoteSmart questionnaire: THE "GREEN" AGENDA IS A JOKE AND CANNOT SUSTAIN OUR LIFESTYLE (caps in original). Rob Steele (MI-15) sneers at Al Gore when asked about warming.
I presume candidates Dan Benishek (MI-01), Justin Amash (MI-03), and John Kupiec (MI-05) are climate zombies because they've signed the AFP/Koch no climate tax pledge, as has incumbent Fred Upton (MI-06). I have no information regarding candidate Don Volaric (MI-12). Candidate John Hauler responded to a questionnaire that he supports environmental regulations aimed at reducing the effects of climate change, but has otherwise been silent. And Rick Snyder (MI-Gov) apparently favors a renewable energy standard but hasn't said anything specifically regarding climate.
Semi-final score: 9 confirmed and 4 presumed climate zombies, 3 without sufficient information.

Workplace discrimination
In 2005, a Gallup Poll reported that fifteen percent of workers say that they have been discriminated against in their jobs. A breakdown by group has 31 percent of Asians and 26 percent of African Americans mentioning incidents of discrimination. Asians, according to the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission), file fewer discrimination complaints.
A former salesperson at AutoNation filed a suit with the EEOC saying that he was routinely harassed because he is of Turkish national origin and a muslim. EEOC then uncovered other cases of nonwhites being harassed. AutoNation has since sold the dealership.[3] The STOP! Autonation activist group is calling for a boycott of the company. [4]
Political contributions
AutoNation gave $15,000 to federal candidates in the 2006 election through its political action committee - all of it going to Republicans. [5]
In 2004, H. Wayne Huizenga through his Huizenga Holdings gave US$820,000 to the 527 Republican group the Florida Leadership Council. Huizenga retired from AutoNation on May 12, 2004. [6] [7] [8]
