Evidently, Michigan isn't short on funds!
This is insane! The Dems want to buy an MP3 player or iPod for every student in the state! What will they tax next to pay for this?!

The city has their name on the packaging? That's bad enough, hopefully not on the condom itself!  |

Posted that way, the link will just take you to Microsoft. You have one too many http:// in the link.
It should read http://www.detnews.com/apps/p...=2007704060333 (broken link)
Now, it is giving an error, saying it was moved but here is the link again:

Jobs are overrated. The nation's unemployment rate is now down to 4.4%. Plenty of jobs outside of Michigan. They're a dime a dozen.
How many states can outfit all their children with iPods though?
Only Michigan!

Is it me or do iPods even offer instructional value? How are you going to explain to a poor kid without digital means where to hook up his little iPod?
The representatives to The Great State of Michigan are seriously lacking substance.
