Someone in Michigan must need some good press. While this bill may appeal to people reading the headline, it really doesn't do much in the bigger scheme of things. With all the exceptions available and an added safety net funded by gov. I don't see what the point is.

"Then-Gov. Jennifer Granholm, a Democrat, signed a bill that created a four-year limit starting in 2007. But that law exempted many welfare recipients, including those whose caseworkers said they were making progress toward finding employment."

What's to bitch about? Sounds like Jenn Granholm was a Repubs wet dream come true? Since then the statehouse Repubs pulled out all the stops and pulled every dirty trick they could during the lameduck period with the goal of turning the home of the UAW into yet another right to starve state. For what? To compete with Indiana? Oh, please.

Michigan has turned into a land of fairytales. I'm sure my Yooper gramps would have some choice words for the anti-union crowd in Lansing. Friggin' traitorous bastids.

Rivers are still solid. Earliest the Nenana river ever went out was April 20. Nenana is kind of the benchmark, that's the one they hold the raffle on.
Only went ice fishing once this year, with a buddy about a month ago. We drank beer and fried up juvenile kings as we caught them, olive oil in a skillet on a Coleman stove right there on the ice. It was nice, and real tasty.

Sounds like a blast. I caught one of those blackmouth kings all the way down here in SoCal once. Smoked it up in a kettle BBQ with mesquite chips. Fine tasting fish but I'll take California halibut any day, PCBs just add flavor.
