a little.

It's official: The Michigan State Capitol Commission on Monday unanimously voted to prohibit the open carry of firearms in the state Capitol building.

Next up - banning concealed carry on Capitol grounds. They give every yahoo a concealed carry permit in Michigan. I've lived in four states including in the South, and when I moved here I couldn't believe how many people felt they needed to carry a gun. After being here a bit I then realized that they feared "those people". I mistakenly thought that the people in the South were much more racist, but now I'm beginning to see that Michigan is loaded with these racist gun whack jobs.

Tim Allen has been the voice of those Pure Michigan spots for years. Last week there was a new Winter edition with his voice over. I've seen it run several times since with only the signature background music.

Did they finally dump Trumper Tim? As the Toy Story franchise did.

Once he became a right winger I stopped watching anything he was in. Apparently he was in another sitcom but I can't even remember the name of the show. I also didn't know he was the voice of the Pure Michigan ads. I suppose he was pals with Rick the Dick Snyder.
