P!ss on China too.  The ChiComs aren't counterfeiting Gummint Motors for a reason.  Y'all can keep the Hopey Hope Changey Change Twinkies.

Madonna to daughter: "Go Blue!"

Madonna , who briefly studied dance at the University of Michigan, told the NFL Network on Thursday that she would like daughter Lourdes , 15, to also attend. "I'm working it. I keep telling her Ann Arbor is an awesome place," Madge said.

Sure makes sense to me.  A2 just loves the CEO of Gummint Motors.

The real disappointment was the Chrysler Group LLC commercial.  I never thought I'd live to see the day when, of all people, Clint Eastwood would be pitchman for a taxpayer subsidized government gifted company to FIAT and the UAW.  WTF was Clint thinking?  The rah-rah "half time" schlepping soon turned lackluster too.  It was refreshing to see most were lukewarm at best with both commercials.

I reckon the bottom line is that I'm rather proud of my little backwoods community.  Folks seem to be able to still form a rational independent opinion unlike clustered city dwellers.
