Michigan down the tubes
No, this isn't about sports!

Hey Michigan - that sucking sound you hear is the state going down the drain.

Quote:
Welcome to the banana republic of Michigan.

Want a driver's license? As of Monday, you'll be out of luck. Unemployed? No state checks next week. And payments due on Michigan's debts? They'll go out some day. No one knows when.

The only thing we're missing in this third world nightmare is the "jefe," the strong man who rules by virtue of arbitrary and capricious self-indulgence. Instead, we're saddled with a trio of political weaklings: Gov. Jennifer Granholm, Senate Majority Leader Mike Bishop and House Speaker Andy Dillon. Together, they comprise a tyranny of incompetence that's unable to lead, unable to work together, and has no discernable plan even now for getting the state out of this predicament. It's not just that voters deserve better; they need real leaders.

Makes me sad my home state can't get its head out of its ass.

Damn, I was hoping for a football thread.

Dude--we're in the same boat. Hopefully your income is not tied to in-state business. I want to take a moment to extend my sincere thanks to Ford, GM and Chrysler, along with the UAW, for adding to this state's mess.

No - fortunately I haven't lived in the state since '96.

While I'll throw some love at the Big 3 (et al), you can't turn away from the politicians.

Granholm needs to be water-boarded. Then the Legislature. We'll save the SecState for last.
