State of the State, anyone?
We have Gov. Snyder's State of the State address on right now.
Anyone else watching? Care to have a live discussion?
Willa just asked, "why is he talking only about Detroit?" hee hee. She's aware.

Re: State of the State, anyone?
Willa rocks.
I'll hear about the address on NPR tomorrow, for now, it's all about trying to finish my reading for tomorrow's classes.
The Lt Governor is a GVSU grad! Go Lakers.
And now I'm really leaving.
This is petty and addresses zero of the substance he talked about, but I can't believe how often he was stumbling over words. It was like he's never given a public speech before.
Man needs a teleprompter and some extemporaneous speaking classes.
Belly laugh here. Very possible!
I agree, Chymes. I'll bet his speech writers were mad. There were a lot of dramatic statements that he made, but flubbed.
We missed 1/2 of it for cleanup. I'll have to check up later. Particuarly the Lt. Gov. antics.
WHAAAT?! That is shocking considering the dismal economy there. Off to Google....
Ah, yes. The local grocer who established his business as the anti-SuperWalMart. Very nice shout out. Although I give a little side-eye to the context.
I'm frustrated by how unemployment is counted. Last night Snyder touted improvement in unemployment in MI. The %s only measure people collecting unemployment benefits. People who have "timed out" aren't counted. Y'all know at least one person who fits in this category (me). I wish we could have an accurate count, and see if there was really any improvement.
I'm not blaming Snyder for this. It's just the way that index is measured.
I completely agree. I think it's also misleading because it doesn't count the "underemployed" who are also really struggling.
I'm right there with you.
