A real Michigander

Can we please end all this bullshit about Michigan being Mitt Romney's home state?  It's about as much his home as California is mine--just because you're fucking born here doesn't make you a Michigander.  It's where he was born--the occasional visit (especially when they're strictly for political reasons) doesn't make it your home.

I wasn't a fan of Gerald Ford but at least he had a home here and was buried here after he passed.  He's a Michigander.

No problem with Willard mentioning that he was born here or that his father was Governor.  No problem mentioning that the state means something to him--hell, I have fond memories of California.

But any way you slice it, Michigan is not his home.

Peace,
