Dixon doesn't have enough money to run her own ads, so the Gratiot County Republicans put together an ad for her and released it a couple days ago. Let's just say.....it's breathtakingly, astonishingly bad. So bad, Stephen Colbert spent nearly three minutes in his monologue last night ripping on it....

I’m not so sure telling people to get the hell out of the way of a storm with SUSTAINED winds above 130 MPH is a bad thing. It’ll be blowing that hard for hours on end. Regarding hurricanes, Ron White said it best: it's not THAT the wind is blowing, it's WHAT the wind is blowing. Combine that with ...

Wasn't he the one who was usually catching for Mark Fidrych? No; Fidrych's "regular" catcher was Bruce Kimm.

Australian singer/actress Olivia Newton-John dies of breast cancer at the age of 73.

I'm not sure why the Freep felt a need to endorse anyone. Any chance the Freep put some thought into which GOP candidate they feel has the best (slim) chance to beat Whitmer?
