Politics
As much as I really should write about the crud in my life, I think I'll just write about the crud in the political life of Michigan. I'm a political junkie. I have been since I was a kid. I guess there wasn't anything else to do in Indiana.
Any how I've been watching the gubernatorial debates. I now understand where the "guber" comes from in that word. The second debate, and I use that word loosely, was mostly pointless. I know I shouldn't expect to hear anything like a plan or a policy discussed but geesh. Mr Devos doesn't seem to be able to answer a question and I really wish someone would tell him to stand up straight. I spend too much distracted by that to listen to him. And really, "The best way to ensure that people in Michigan have insurance is to make sure people have jobs" is one of the least enlightened things I've heard. Maybe he doesn't know about the working poor. And how companies keep an employee's hours 36 and below to avoid paying insurance. And he certainly seemed to forget that his former company hires Manpower people so they don't have to pay benefits. Granholm remembered that part. She tried to make some points on policy to her credit. And Devos's comment that he called the White House to finally get a meeting scheduled with the Auto manufactures and the President was pathetic.
One more debate - I can hardly wait.
