Ah, yes.

And let's see where that has gotten them:



"Last week, the City of Detroit filed for bankruptcy, making it the largest municipal bankruptcy in American history. It’s a remarkable story, especially for natives of the state, like me, who have watched Detroit slowly decline for decades. But it’s even more remarkable when you consider the fact that the Michigan state legislature is on the verge of adding billions in unfunded liabilities to the state’s Medicaid program, precisely at the time when Michigan’s politicians should be most acutely aware of the dangers of fiscal irresponsibility."

.... What I thought.

Apparently, states with high IQs still do incredibly stupid things.

I used to be the Second Coming of Christ until I set foot into a 'Liberal Event.' The resulting impact to my IQ rendered me incapable of fulfilling the duties of that position, and the process for developing a replacement has been queued once again.

They're good at calling up 'facts' to the depth of a headline that gets repeated to the point where it becomes fact based on dogmatic principle, but they're horrible at analyzing the data and running down missing vectors.

Basically - they're good at talking. They should not, ever, be considered to understand anything.

Interesting anecdote. I sincerely hope you recover from such an incident :)

OT: I guess some states will always be Blue or Red. Honestly, politicians only care about the swing states.

Perhaps by living vicariously through one of my children...

Politicians, generally, only care about themselves. It's rare to find one that genuinely wants to serve the functional purpose of their office. Most of them will try to bend the powers of their office to suit their own personal goals and agendas.

The swing states are a means to an end.
