"The bill would create a new act to designate the day upon which the first University of Michigan home football game occurs each year as Bo Schembechler Day in the state of Michigan.  The bill would specify that the legislature recognizes the outstanding contributions made by Glenn Edward "Bo" Schembechler during his tenure as head football coach at the University of Michigan, where he coached from 1969 to 1989."

I am a Wolverine myself, but, come on, is this the one piece of (potentially successful) legislation that Warren really wants to emphasize to her constituents?  Pathetic.

Pro-life House Speaker Andy Dillon has purposely kept Warren and Rep. Alma Wheeler Smith from scratching their gritty paws too much when it comes to their obsession with abortion "rights." (Some of the animosity stems from the fact that Wheeler Smith had designs on the speakership herself when it became vacant after the last legislative elections in 2006).  For instance, Dillon assigned Warren as chair of the Great Lakes and Environment House Committee, which has consumed what little time Warren puts into her job as a legislator.

But even with her new crusade - regulating water usage in Michigan - Warren has shown herself to be as politically inept as they come.  For example, Warren sponsored a so-called "Town Hall" meeting this past week on the campus of the University of Michigan that had only thirteen people in attendance (who were, in fact, mostly Warren's own employees!).  Ha!  See:  http://media.www.michigandaily.com/media/storage/paper851/news/2008/02/12/State/Warren.Pushes.Water. Conservation.Bill-3203128.shtml

The meeting was suppose to highlight a package of bills to (further) regulate Michigan's water usage - bills that Warren is actively and eagerly pushing in the House.  It's funny, but her own employees were openly saying that the fiscal cost of the bills would probably result in higher room and board costs for U of M students:

"LSA freshman Seth Soderborg, Warren's employee, said because the University would have to more closely monitor its water usage, students living in residence halls might have higher room and board costs if the bill passes.

`If you live in the dorms, this is obviously going to affect your housing costs and your living costs,' he said."

Way to garner support!  Although, Warren and her fellow latte-lovin' liberals wouldn't probably mind the room and board increases; that is, as long as they can figure out a way to make Michigan taxpayers foot the bill somehow.

Anyway, I am pleased that, during her first year in the Michigan Legislature, Warren has proven to be so utterly useless a force for the real love of her life - promoting the murder of innocent, unborn children.  

Hopefully, Warren continues to be mired in advocating useless memorializations to Congress, creating silly holidays, and wasting her time on staged "Town Hall" meetings.

Here's to another year of foolishness from Rep. Rebekah Warren.
