Bad credit? No credit? No problem!The dismal economic climate is going to force state government to undergo another round of budget cuts. Given that Michigan's transportation infrastructure is ranked below that of Tajikistan, this is a little like asking a anorexic to go on a diet. However, Michigan may loan out $150,000,000 to help boost the credit market. Shaky financial institutions lending money to people with suspect credit can never, ever go wrong. If there is one thing we've learned in the last 90 days, it is that. (MLive)
Local urban mythbuster to run for governor
Who is this mythbuster? Mike Cox. Between the Wayne County Prosecutors office and the Attorney General, he has over 20 years of political toadie experience. He doesn't just collect urban myths. He covers them up with embarassingly shoddy investigations. Join him now as he campaigns for governor to ensure a bipartisan government of, for, and by the Wayne County kleptocracy. (Freep)
Creative class incentive program to boost obesity rate
Video game makers can receive tax breaks if they make their video games in Michigan. If this program is successful it will have a huge spin-off effect on the local economy. Look for record profits from local snack retailers, energy drink distributors, and Star Trek conventions. In unrelated news, detroitist is going to launch our own line of locally themed 12-sided dice for role playing games. Collect all 28 limited edition designs! Buy two of each, one for playing and one to keep in the original packaging! (MLive)
Granholm, Bonior to advise Obama on economy
The Michigan Democratic leaders will take two spots on Obama's 17 person economic advisory panel, proving people really care about Michigan. Granted, they care about Michigan the same way you care about the starving kid from Sudan on the tv news. You send $10 to the Red Cross and go on with your life. But still Michigan could use any help it can get. Maybe Obama supporters can donate to finish the I-75 overpass at Warren. YES WE CAN! (DetNews)
Strange incident leads to headline pun, racist assertions
Some pyscho fired shots at teenagers driving through Harper Woods. A bowling ball stopped a bullet from hitting one of the kids. Just like in the movies! And, ha ha ha, the Free Press said the gunmen "split." Ha ha ha, just like a 7-10 split! The victims were from Detroit so naturally the Free Press message board klavern assumed they were no good black kids buying drugs in Harper Woods. It's nice to know some people still cling to the old way and aren't caught up in this "post-race America" thing. (Freep)
