Politics: No, really? Michigan governor: We have to diversify our economy

  • The world has changed and we have to change with it. There’s still hope for change, but we have to create our own way forward and not wait for change to come to us.
  • Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm • Saying the most mind-numbingly obvious thing we’ve ever published. Ever. With a state that has as high of unemployment as hers and a main industry struggling as much as the auto industry, the time to act is not now. The time to act was 20 years ago, when Michael Moore was making “Roger and Me.” We’re from Michigan, so we have even less sympathy for statements like this. No talk. Just make it happen. And don’t pretend that you haven’t had your opportunities. source
