17. I remember Keith jingling his keys!!!! LOL!!!!
When you think about it, it's kinda weird...was he saying he wanted Elvis to come to his house??

What I really would have loved is if he'd waved around his underwear. :evilgrin:

2. Hi, rc!
How nice to see you! :toast:

This was nowhere near enough on Obama's part, but it's not less than nothing either. Something is still something. Should everyone who just got these benefits turn them down on principle? Also, it seems a little teeny bit disingenous on KO's part to rail at him in the opener for not giving health benefits and then burying the fact that DOMA prevents him from giving full health benefits.

Even Joe Solmonese knows BO couldn't do this on his own.

I may get slaughtered for saying this, BUT
Don't people look back on Clinton's first term and say pushing Gays in the Military so early was a HUGE misstep?

11. I think that
was the impetus for both of those horrible policies. Clinton regrets DADT and says it was one of his worst mistakes because it made the situation worse.

:hi: He did everything but use a clip of one of her little electronic journalism essays on the joys of tornado chasing.

She must be coming back about now. That was his little way of saying: "Welcome home. Now don't ever leave again."

8. I wonder how much hate mail Randi got today
for saying the justice department was right on the DOMA statement and that she thinks maybe they did it to push the issue at the federal level at last. I know if Nancy had said that she would have been bombarded by people saying she's too right wing. Sheesh!

:bounce: I don't have to run up and down from office to living room tonight!

Keith looks like he has a lovely new tie. :loveya:

Maybe time for another Special Comment from him?

As for pushing DOMA at the federal level, I wish that was what was happening. I want to believe that. I want to not believe that Obama's just wimping out or being skeered that he doesn't dare enact social policy of any kind that anyone might disagree with until he gets a second term. *sigh*

I wouldn't mind, except that the "visitors" are downright rude to the locals, especially in the service industry.
No offense, Mo - I'm certain that you'd be nothing but the epitome of politeness. :hi:

and it's working. The voiceover is done by Tim Allen.

35. Is that really him?
I didn't picture it being him somehow.

Anyway, I do like the ads. I imagine they're hard to relate to if you're actually FROM Michigan, but what I find interesting about them is that they don't really say (as most tourism ads do), "Come to our state and see and do this." Not explicitly. They just say "Get away from where you are and come here because...well...you need a break from being where you are."

40. I didn't know until the other day that it was him
I read something the governor wrote about the ads and she mentioned it was him.

Visually they do a really good job of making you want to come here.

50. They make someone who's not from there feel like just running away from home.
I think the most effective one is the one about how "we become most ourselves when we go to a place where no one knows us." It taps right into the reason why people go on vacation: to get away from their everyday lives. And if all you want out of a vacation is a break from your everyday life, it really doesn't matter where you go, so long as it's not where you are and it has some nice golf greens and fishing lakes and pretty, peaceful places. In short, if you're not from Michigan, you might as well go to Michigan.

OK, this opens the door to some YouTube links I have to post here because they're just so damn funny: some joke "Cleveland tourism videos" that do a good job of illustrating the pitfalls of thinking the only way to advertise a place for tourism is to present an "exciting" video featuring all its "attractions":
