Engler was a champion of “tort reform” in Michigan. He spent a lot of time as governor trying to figure out how to screw trial attorneys, and by extension, all victims of corporate and governmental misconduct/abuse. While this isn’t surprising, it is certainly disgusting.

So about a decade ago, a grandpa I know (not mine) excitedly informed me that he would be eating ribs for dinner. When I asked how he prepared said ribs, hoping for a cool old man rib recipe, he said, “boiled, with a little salt.” When I asked what kind of sauce he used, he said, “No sauce. Just boiled with a little…

He may be old as hell and a billionaire, but I would honestly like to see MN Gov Mark Dayton be president. He cares about governing, and he demonstrates how liberal policies can and should work.

I sing this to my really talkative cat:

Squirrels don’t like nyjer seed or safflower seed, so fill any old bird feeder with those and squirrel problem solved. Chipmunks friggn’ LOVE safflower and will drain a birdfeeder in hours, but chipmunks are adorable, so they get a pass.

As a former employee of the Michigan Democratic Party, #3 kills me. There is quite a large group (Our Revolution types) in Michigan that won’t even give the MDP $25 per year, but 1) expects them to bow to their every demand, and 2) complains that the Party isn’t doing enough to train and elect Dems up and down the…

Jake is a good boy

He is also currently Rick Snyder’s Chief of Staff. I actually want him to win it all because he’d hate it.

Dick Posthumus is currently MI governor Rick Snyder’s (of Flint child-poisoning fame) Chief of Staff. He is also a terrible person, based on firsthand experience. While I normally hope he loses everything all the time, this time I want him to win it all.

The best Jim Harbaugh story of all time was “The Saga of the Missed Punt,” as told by Mark Dantonio.

I live in Michigan too. I once spun out in front of a cop car, right into the shitty, plowed-up dirt-ice. I figured he’d at least stop to ask if I’d been drinking. Instead of helping me, he just slowed down, stopped for a second, and then drove off. 20 minutes later, a random stranger ended up pushing me off the ice.

Hey, how do you know my Aunt Pat? Are we related?

I live in Lansing, and I batted an eye. Unfortunately, my eye-batting is meaningless because I’m not a billionaire.

When I was 17, I bet my soul in a pool game and lost. I think about that moment every time an automatic sink/door/hand dryer won’t work.

Sometimes I wish I had become a teacher, just so I could teach the unabridged history of the labor movement in America to impressionable youngsters. But then I remember how much teachers get shit on, especially in non-union and charter districts.

I’ve worked in politics for nearly nine years now, and this also drives me crazy! My 21 year old niece, while posting horrifying memes of Clinton, told me that “everyone’s opinion is valid.”

I can’t tell if that article you linked is a joke or not. I guess I’m not cool enought to drink switchel.

She looks like a nice old lady who would make great cookies. But she’s really the mean old witch in the neighborhood who won’t give you back your frisbee.

Assuming an ice dragon breathes ice, how does said ice dragon burn down the Wall? Wouldn’t a regular old fire-breathing dragon have a better chance of melting ice?

I was unsure if Ken deserved this, but since he’s still undecided, I think it’s fair:
