  • The car companies have reported their sales figures for June. While the declines themselves are bad enough, even more telling is this headline: "11.3% decline is Ford's best performance this year."
  • Remember Cliff Taylor's car, which the then-Chief Justice used for personal functions at taxpayer expense? Well, now it's reached a milestone: 100,000 miles driven. Says MDP Chair Mark Brewer:

    “The car initially swerved to the right constantly, but after Diane Hathaway defeated Taylor, the car has steered a more middle of the road path just like the Supreme Court,” observed Brewer.

  • Now tha Franken's been seated, it's time for Harry Reid to start pretending that Dems need 67 votes to pass anything.
  • The Pure Michigan ad campaign has been ranked by Forbes as one of the best tourism campaigns of all time.
  • If you are able to, please help your local food bank with some donations. Mel Trotter in Grand Rapids is one of many that are dealing with shortages.

Al Franken (0.00 / 0)
I'm wondering -- who on the current SNL cast is going to portray Al Franken when they do a sketch about him?

Kinda blows your mind, doesn't it?  Like wondering if Adam and Eve had bellybuttons.
