Default (OT) Pure Michigan - Holland

More like pure pablum, a very lame promo, Anytown, USA could blather
the same platitudes. Small wonder they had to enlist a has been brain
damaged druggie like Tim Allen to recite the lines. Gosh and what a
fine representative of the Wolverine state!

On 2 October 1978, Tim Allen Dick was arrested in Detroit for
possession of a pound and a half of cocaine. Under Michigan law, he
could have been sentenced to life in prison. Instead he turned state's
evidence -- the legal term for ratting on your cohorts. Allen
reportedly fingered at least 21 co-conspirators, and in exchange, he
was sentenced to just five years under the more lenient (at that time)
federal law. He was paroled after 2½ years. He was arrested for drunk
driving in 1997, after he nearly fell over and couldn't count
backwards during a roadside sobriety check Also in 1997, Allen was in
an auto accident in Studio City, California, and injured a 72-year-old
retired librarian named Henry Armstrong. Armstrong told the National
Enquirer that Allen "was bleary-eyed and unsteady on his feet, and he
never uttered a word, never mind said sorry." Allen sued the old man
for $12 million, complaining that Allen's "business as a well-known
and well-respected actor, entertainer, author, commercial spokesperson
and product endorser has been damaged." Allen dropped the lawsuit two
years later, as a "humanitarian gesture" when he learned that
Armstrong was suffering from brain cancer.

Oh bye the bye, how far is Holland from Bay City, Michigan? You know
the town that shut off the heat of a 93 yr. old WWII veteran who froze
to death in his own living room? I'm sure you remember the story
because you smugly gloated about it in this newsgroup. Story can be
found at http://www.wsws.org/articles/2009/ja...bayc-j28.shtml

Anyway, your effort to rehabilitate your image is commendable. You've
been doing fairly well since the authorities began tracking your
internet postings and activities last year. It must have been very
uncomfortable for you being under constant surveillance during
President Obama's visit to Holland awhile back. Good for you.
