Governor Gutless and the Michigan republican legislators circle jerk

What a fucking surprise this is:  today the Michigan legislature forced through right-to-work for less laws in their usual cowardly fashion (as Senate Minority leader Getchen Whitmer so accurately pointed out), here in, of all places, the place where labor unions were born and grew the middle class to a point where many of the castrati who voted for it today reached their status in life because of the wages and benefits unions created for us all. 

A few thoughts:
  • Somehow I always knew that Gov. Snyder was a numb nuts, but he proved it beyond a shadow of a doubt today.  After all of his posturing about how right-to-work for less laws weren't part of his agenda, the Governor is either a liar (possible as he was a CEO and their psychopathic tendencies are well documented) or else he has all the backbone of a fresh can of Play-Doh.  My guess is the latter--he's let the republican legislators smack his fanny at will since day one.
  • My long held conviction that Michigan was on its way to becoming like North Dakota--known for being freezing fucking cold and the fact that nobody wants to live there--received another push toward becoming reality.
  • On the bright side, with the Governor's approval numbers being about equal to his level of integrity (pretty closed to zero) and a fired up labor base, the odds of defeating Gov. Numbnuts in 2014 just grew exponentially.  It's still a tall order, but with the right candidate, it can be done. 
  • If you are considering moving to Michigan...FUCKING THINK AGAIN!  For fuck's sake, the state is doomed to republican control because of gerrymandering and is hostile to women, hostile to workers, does not have any hope for having a significant amount of good paying jobs, and is freezing fucking cold six months of the year.  Mississippi might be a shit hole, but at least you won't be shoveling several feet of snow and driving with the windows rolled up half the year.

What a fucking embarrassment--we're quickly on our way to being as irrelevant as the South.  And as big of a drain on the rest of America.

Peace,
