In case you missed it, last week I scored the governor’s debate. Both candidates, on my score card, earned zero points. (If one is singular, what is zero and should it be points or point? I also wonder which high school English teacher will be the first to e-mail me with the correct answer?) I […]
So, like probably 18 percent of the voting population in the Great Lake State, I watched Sunday’s ‘debate.? Though, debate is stretching what I saw candidates for Michigan governor, actually do.
