Pure Michigan

Ahhh Michigan--when we're not devising laws that require women to have rape insurance, or passing a right to work for less law that leave more of our citizens in poverty, or overriding the will of our voters and hammering another nail in the coffin that holds what was Democracy in our not no great anymore state by passing laws to still allow an Emergency Manager in Detroit, we're beating the shit out of our citizens for, uh, rolling a stop sign (even worse, it's only alleged):

Hey it isn't by accident that we were the only state in the 2010 census to lose population--we're working damn hard to make it happen.

The not so great state of Michigan

Yesterday, the year long work of republicans in my home state of Michigan came to fruition:  women here will now need rape insurance just so they can make decisions about their own bodies.  To make matters worse, when Gretchen Whitmer wanted to speak against this horrible law, republicans shut down the Senate so that the great people of the state of Michigan could not hear what they had done:  make the wives, mothers, and daughters of Michigan buy rape insurance (you can read the statement she wanted to make at the link) so they can choose to not carry to term the product of a despicable act of violence.

Michigan's republicans are doing their level best to make our state as culturally and politically relevant as North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho--God only knows why the best and the brightest would want to stay in the land of increasing insanity, or businesses subject their employees to the whims of the batshit insane.

One thing is certain:  come November, from Governor Gutless Rick Snyder, to Senate candidate Terri Lynn Land, to their majorities in the Michigan House and Senate, we need to make them pay.

Out of step with the times, out of office on their ears.

Another reason to stay the hell away from Michigan

As if we don't have enough trouble a) attracting businesses here, and b) keeping our talented young people, republicans in the Michigan Legislature today, based on the feelings of 4% of Michiganders, passed a law  that will basically require women in our state to buy rape insurance.

No shit--the republicans passed a ban on abortion riders (given Roe v. Wade is this constitutional?) which in short will force Michigan women to buy rape insurance or else pay thousands of dollars not to carry their rapists' children to term.

I mean, for fuck's sake, if you're going to live with the whims with batshit insane republicans anyway, might as well at least live in the south where you don't freeze your fucking ass off  for six months out of the year.
