| Good morning and welcome to Monday. It's a busy week here in the Mitten with just a few short weeks until the election. Make sure you do something for the candidate of your choice - volunteer, contribute, put up a yard sign, slap on a bumper sticker. National Political News - Skoop's Blog: Game Changer. Imagine the apology that John McCain would have to give to win over intelligent voters... infidelity, financial shenanigans, picking Sarah Palin, disavowing his adopted daughter, his health, shady campaign manager with ties to all sorts of nefarious things... It would take 3 hours just to run through the list!
- American Blog: McCain Says He Will "Whip" Obama in Debate. I guess the closer he gets to losing his shot at yet another overgrown mansion, Grampa McSame's real self shows through.
Michigan Political News - Dispatches from the Culture Wars: Burning Witches in Michigan. The new fundie agenda? Burning teachers for discussing literature regarding historical events - it's like the new Crusades.
- TC Record Eagle: Many Obstacles for Hathaway. It's an uphill battle against Republican incumbent (and noted leader of one of the worst Supreme Courts in the country) Chief Justice Cliff Taylor.
- Vote No on Joe: No-Show Joe at Debate. Joey K can't be bothered to participate in debates... he's too busy doing something else. Flossing his dog's teeth? Alphabetizing his spice rack?
Things Economical - MITF: Michigan Development News. What?!? Good economic news? Don't tell the MSM because they sure won't report anything positive about the economy these days. Thank goodness for the Trust Fund.
- Crain's: Locals Buying Locally: Movement Grows as Economy Shrinks. Just for funsies, go through one room/drawer of your house and see how many/few of the items in there were actually made or produced in the United States.
Things That Amuse Me - Dependable Renegade: "Now Puck Off, Palin." Wonder what real hockey moms think of the GOP Veep nominee?
- Luxist: Dan Akroyd's Crystal Head Vodka. I think the next MichLib bloggers gathering should include some shots off Dan's head.
