Oh, So That's What It Is

What are we feeling in Michigan these days?

It isn't the pain of a 15.whatever percent unemployment rate, or the fact that the parent company of the factory down the street just declared bankruptcy. It isn't the vacant homes, the moving vans headed out of state, or a monumental state deficit. It isn't Detroit crumbling under the weight its own mismanagement or its smoke stained empty buildings. It isn't the punitive tax rates or the businesses and jobs fleeing for right-to-work states.

It isn't the maneuverings of politicians groveling for Gitmo terrorists or just another generic report of a politician being caught in a scandal.

No, it is simply the electricity in the air!

And here I thought what I was feeling was either garden variety malaise or gas.
