| Mostly a collection of links to things worth reading. Or, things you might find interesting. Or, something. *--What's the impact of continuously talking about killing tax incentives? Killing opportunities for the state to compete for business investment and job creation. I've said it before, I'll say it again ... refusing to compete with other states for new industries is the same thing as accepting table scraps. You don't win a battle by ceding the initative to the other general. Robert E. Lee told me that in a dream last night. Or, maybe it was Sun Tzu. It was some guy who's been dead a long time. *--Two days after joining Barking Mad Minnesotan Michele Bachmann's Tea Party Caucus, Peter Hoekstra touts his Mad Bipartisan Skillz. Considering the stark position the Tea Party Caucus has taken on ... well, most everything, at some point, he's going to pick between being bipartisan or just plain crazy. *--The "Tea Party" clears the first hurdle to being on the ballot. I predict that future historians will look back on this as the RGMN of 2010. *--Rick Snyder raises almost as much money as the rest of the Republican field combined. The problem? He raised it mostly by opening the doors to one of his money rooms. Dillon doubled Virg Bernero, but I guess we'll see if that matters a whole lot. After all, Nolan Finley guesses -- if you really pressed him -- that Bernero will win (although there's no way of knowing whether that's a sober analysis, or Finley just hoping that he'll have someone easy to demagogue for the next three months). |
