My Governor (Governess?)
I got an interesting email recently:
You are likely aware (I see from your post) that your Governor Granholm was born in British Columbia, and moved to California at about age four. I mention this because....... that babilicious young Cunuck actually lived her teenage years over my back fence in San Jose! (Had a major crush on my brother, I do believe). She was rather close to my sister, and thus my family in general.I have no idea if there are any good online sources to follow the Governor's activities. However, I suspect that someone who reads Dean's World might. So tell me: do any of you have any recommendations?
We basically lost touch, and we had heard that she was attorney general or something, and we fell out of our chairs on election night when she showed up as top dog over there.
So the reason I write you is..... Do you have any good web links that I could keep up to date with what she is up to? I've gone to newspapers in Lansing and Detroit (by web), as well as the State web page, but I'm just wondering if there are any "Michigan blogs" or just a good page that follows her on a day to day basis. I'm GOP, so she and I are gonna butt heads, but God Bless her for what she's done and is doing. I still can't get over it. (Man, she was cute, certainly to a 13 year-old me, make no mistake.)
This is a shameless plug for my own site but I occasionaly cover the governor here.

The Governor's official state site.

And the Lansing State Journal's Capitol page.

Cool.
Thanks for the tips, and you too Dean. Consider them bookmarked.

She's only your "governess" if she helped raise you as a child while in your parents' employ. Lots of those in Britain.
If she's in charge of your state in America, she's the Governor (no masculine there, simply "one who governs").
Here endeth the lesson.
