Jack Kervorkian is running for a congressional seat in Michigan. I love when people like Jack and Ralph Nader run. It gives an opportunity for the complete fringe kooks to abandon the Democrats and vote for a kindred spirit.
One suggestion I have for Jack: consider running for Michigan Governor. The economy has disintegrated so badly that the only option left may be for Dr. Death to come in and euthanize it.
Funny you should mention Dr. Death for Michigan governor. Euthanization of Michigan is about the only chance Wisconsin (dunno about Minnesota) has for keeping retirees that don’t mind the snow and cold. Charlie Sykes has an interesting e-mail from a retiree in the UP noting just how friendly Michigan is for retirees.
MN is losing it’s retirees. Total taxes had MN at about 7th highest and we’ll likely move into the top 4 with the most recent “transit” tax increases…maybe we’ll “Be number 1, be number 1” if the Rats have their way with the state budget. On the business side we are a few years behind Michigan but here to, the cracks are in the veneer.
