    Jesus I was hoping it’d be an upgrade from flint. I do Detroit/flint pretty frequently. Just got expanded out to cover bay city/Jackson/traverse and surrounding areas. Pumped to do Traverse next month.

    They sell their cheese spreads in grocery stores now, but outside of Pinconning they only sell the horseradish cheddar statewide before Christmas.

    Torch lake is pretty nice imo. Would just make a day trip to Traverse City.

    If you’re really looking for excitement, you could go to the GOAT Michigan Island, Beaver Island.

    Very acceptable answer. Never been but may be heading up there for a camping trip over Columbus Day.

    Beav remains the undisputed heavyweight champion until then.

    That article showing that dude going to a political consult and saying “I want to run for governor” them asking “as a Republican or Democrat?” and Shri responding “I don’t care” was wild.

    He’s the fakest of the fake.

    He probably won the debate IMO. It’s sad because I think people are not going to vote for him, just because he’s Muslim. If his name were John Smith he’d probably be front runner.

    I've got a buddy whom is a lawyer and has spent like the last six years or so doing a lot of job networking, by working on campaigns for judges. He tells me all the time just how important a fucking name is...I could only imagine what he'd think how terrible that dude's name would play.

    This state is super fucked politically. Too much y'all queda among the auto workers and police and fire fighters, who were middle class because of unions and excellent public education, and then the rural folk who vote R despite only surviving where they live because of Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security and the government subsidizing education, infrastructure, post office and utilities. But they all think they got there on their own and are super patriotic, real Americans.

    From what I’ve heard/read about them gubernatorial race it seems like Abdul and a bunch of fuckin morons on either side. The two gop guys having the pissing match of anti trump quotes from the other on their commercials crack me up.

    He’s very smart and ambitious. He’s kind of a know-it-all prick though from personal interactions. I think he’d be better off being metro Detroit’s AOC instead of fucking around with this Governor nonsense.
