The Enviroment Saves Michigan, No, Not the Other Way Around

The Enviroment Saves Michigan, No, Not the Other Way Around
It'd be impressive if you didn't know that all six are just used to power the mechanism that raises and lowers the flag to half-mast every other day.

Despite my overwhelming urge to write a post saying that we've got some good contestants so far for our "Hottest Wolverine" contest (but keep nominating), or talk about the absurd spelling bee I saw on the Diag today for Greek Week (seriously, that's an event?), I'm going to prove I don't have to write about either by talking about something boring: wind!

For anyone that lives in Michigan you know the state sucks lately. And that's just not because the out-of-staters are constantly reminding you of that fact. It's because that while the rest of a country is at about a 7/10 on the "holy shit we're jobless and poor scale" Michigan is more like a 36.

Well, our lovely Governor has proposed a plan to create jobs here by forcing us to have 10% of our electricity come from renewable sources by 2015. And it appears our best bet is the wind. Yes, the lamest power of the Planeteers is supposed to help our job crisis. Michigan is apparently the 16th best state in the country to have wind power (go 33rd percentile!) so "experts" think it'll work out well for us.

Yeah, alright, but why do I forsee this starting and then it gets revealed that like Kwame Kilpatrick has been using all the wind farm money to buy Escalades with hot tubs and hookers in them? Nope, I think the only thing that can save Michigan is if we start selling the Great Lakes to corporations. C'mon, for $100 million we'll change Superior to "Lake Time Warner," eh? eh?

Greek Week this year was absolutely the worst I have seen in my four years here. I'm a senior so I don't really get as involved, but steering is comprised of some of the worst people in the greek system. There are a few who care, but most are just obsessed with themselves. Hardly anyone was out for diag day. Posted 04/02/2008 4:18 PMReply
