Four at Four: At least it's not Monday.

Hey all.

At least it's not Monday.

  • Freep: WCCC students share concerns with Obama. Said one student: ""I wanted to hear how he was planning to lowering the cost of tuition, because $16,000 a year is a lot."
  • MichMess: Obama courts Michiganders with green jobs and an assist from Pistons' Billups. "Obama, speaking at times with one hand casually in his pants pocket as he walked comfortably around the stage, sounded environmental themes throughout his speech, tying Michigan's economic future to technology like alternative-fuel vehicles that could help ameliorate climate change."
  • LSJ: Report: Public defense in Michigan 'crumbling'. "The report released today about Michigan's system for providing attorneys to people who can't afford them, says the state ranks 44th in the nation in public defense spending."
  • DetNews: Dime deposit sought on water, juice bottles. It's about freakin' time.

Go forth. Eat cookies. Laugh at the people around you, especially if they're wearing goofy cowboy boots.

Public Defense & High Incarceration Rate (4.00 / 1)
The low quality of the public defense system wouldn't have anything to do with the high incarceration rate in Michigan, would it?

Answering myself... (4.00 / 1)
This site:

shows that Michigan is 10th in the nation for incarceration.

hmmmm...

Bottle Bill Improvement (4.00 / 4)
I think it's a great idea.  I wish that there could be a bounty on individual servings of water as well.  I refuse to drink those unless in dire circumstances and instead I pretty much live on Faygo sparkling water.  Calorie free and $0.10 returnable.

Do stupid people know they are stupid?

Just For Fun (4.00 / 3)
