Northern Michigan is vacation country. Sure, you could go to the Upper Peninsula and enjoy a pasty, but why travel an additional two hours when all that beauty is just a few hours away? Vacation country is a bit different than, say, midtown Manhattan. You're less likely to find a house with 1,500kbps broadband internet access. Heck, you might find a home with a rotary phone ... or two! You can tell...

Every semester I email the student newspaper of Michigan State University, the State News, to see if they would let me write biweekly columns for the paper. The newspaper, which is funded through student tax dollars, is notoriously left-wing, and has a history of firing the unpaid columnists if they articulate the conservative point of view in their columns.
