The Mitten is Fucked like a 12-Year-Old's Crusty Sock

This isn't a new blog, but it's been cleared out of random ramblings in the hopes of creating something of worth with perhaps a theme. Which this post does not pave the way for...

I wish I were articulate enough, witty enough, or able to organize my thoughts better than a 3 1/2 year old to be an actual writer. Or, heck, if I even had something interesting enough to write about I might be half way decent. Hence, my last update was circa 2008.

Today though, I find myself unable to contain my contempt for certain actions happening in my lovely home state shaped like a hand. Indeed, I reside in the the doomed state of Michigan.

In November, Michigan elected the failed CEO of Gateway to be our Governor. I say failed, because he moved the company to China. 'Cause that REALLY helped the job situation in America. Good job, dude.

In the beginning, as a pretty loyal Democrat, I had some VERY secret hopes that perhaps a Republican Governor was what Michigan needed. Mostly this was to ease my daily anxiety behind the prospect of having this dip shit at our helm. However, in light of our current situation, all my hopes got flushed down the toilet.

This is where my lack of mental organization and articulation becomes a problem. I have a hard time writing in an organized way that doesn't seem like random rambling. So I will let links speak for themselves.

First, an excellent facebook note that which is a 3-point discussion on how our Governor has alienated those who voted for him, and is systematically fucking Michigan.

Second, a video of Rachel Maddow discussing the recent actions of our Governor.

Third, a blog post by a friend of mine who is an excellent writer and far more versed in politics than I ever will be.

Something has to be done about this man and his crazy ideas. I see two scenarios here:

1) He's a crooked bastard propelling his own agenda for his own selfish reasons
or
2) He really does think these things are what's best for Michigan, in which case he needs to be institutionalized

In short, we're fucked.
