agreement in beaglesonia

Well there must have been something about the wolverine that appealed to you Michiganders because you kept right on calling yourselves that.  Of course that was before your time in THOTOTHOTOM.  Seems like a pretty good deal to give up Toledo to get that whole big Yoop.  The cheese heads have to be a little pissed about that.  There probably weren't that many of them then, just a bunch of cows probably and they were wondering what they were going to do with all this Goddamn milk. They lost the bottom eighty miles of their state about this time.  The line from Indiana was going to go straight west between Illinois and Wisconsin, but the future Illinoisans didn't want the state to be run by hillbillies so they moved the border up.

Then there was that movie, Wolverines, about  the red army taking over the USA except for a bunch of plucky high school kids who freed Michigan.  I don't know what happened to the rest of the USA because I didn't see the movie, but at least the freehold was free.

Water Winter Wonderland, who thought that up?  Most people see that and think snow.  And though people like to see snow in their movies and on their holiday cards, not that many are eager to experience it in person.  Well there are skiers, but they want mountains like Colorado where they have those fancy lodges with snow bunnies, they don't want to hang out in some frozen swamp with some crotchety old windbag watching him fall asleep in his deer blind.  People want to go south, not north, in the winter.  Naturally Air Conditioned, that might have been a better thing to put on your plates.

When I went to computer school they taught us about that http://www thing.  I used to know what http stood for.  I don't think they ever taught us what the :// was for, and in fact I had to look it up every time i was going to type it into the address bar.  I didn't even know that you didn't need it anymore until just now.  I have always just typed it into google and then clicked on the result.  URL, you hardly ever hear that term anymore. 

I don't understand that about sucking crayfish holes.  If there were crayfish wouldn't there be a stream?  And it's not like we were in a desert sucking on a cactus, we have water everywhere.  Did you know that Lake Michigan, after years of historic lows, is now as high as it has ever been?  Our beaches are shortened and our walkways are lapped at.  Probably the same thing is going on with you.  The lakes are all connected but I think that some are higher than others, like those itty bitty eastern ones must be higher because the water flows inland.  Is that right?

I guess anymore the candidates borrow current songs.  I remember Clinton I had Yesterday's Gone, I think Bush II had that awful Lee Greenwood song, I'm Proud to be an American, Obama doesn't have a song, but he has been known to sing from the lectern.  You'd think that Clinton II would have one, Big Girls Don't Cry, Bernie could have the Internationale.  Republicans are always stealing rock songs until the rock bands cry foul and take them away.

The reason you hardly ever see third party candidates on tv or in the newspapers is because nobody cares about them.  Period.

Trump meets Ryan today.  It was expected to be a big confrontation, but both sides have backed down to the point where it looks like it'll be a wary handshake, but then you never know about the Donald.

You know I have been looking for a bone of contention for us over the election, but we both seem to agree that Trump is nuts and the big girl is a sleazebag.
