Ahem...

In the immortal words of Alvin (yes, the fucking chipmunk), not to toot my own horn, but beep-beep-b-b-b-b-beeeeeeppppp....

Earlier this week, I mentioned that it seemed a bit premature to be anointing Gov. Snyder St. Rick of CEO--that sure enough, he might just be a plain ol' republican politician with his meeting with "business leaders" on state employee wages. While I wouldn't say either Brian Dickerson or the Free Press have ended Gov. Snyder's honeymoon just yet, Dickerson at least points out that the Governor needs to be careful if he wants to keep his above the fray persona intact, while the Free Press pretty much says what I said: the numbers do, indeed, lie. This was also pointed out by Meteor Blades in the Daily Kos, and, two days too late, by Chris Christoff in the Free Press. Problem is, these pieces were all after the fact, and what most (not so thoughtful) people will remember is the $87,000 state employee wage, not that it was wrong.

If memory serves, it seems once I heard tell someone mentioning to beware of a wolf in sheep's clothing....

Peace,
