Please, no more garbage!

Boy, now I know how loyal readers of this blog sometimes feel. Too much garbage can make you ill.
That's why I'm kind of ill with John Manor's effort to capitalize on the success the Democrats have had in making garbage disposal in Michigan a political issue.
You might remember I recalled hearing a radio ad in which Manor says he and his wife were hoping to start a family near Carleton, then realized they couldn't stay there because there was a big landfill nearby. Now he's got an ad running on cable TV that says his parents couldn't look forward to retiring in their home because it was near a landfill. I guess the truth is he was living with his parents as a newlywed and they wanted to move out. And I guess now he can use their house in a campaign ad because it was across from the Carleton Farms landfill.
These ads are real tear-jerkers -- except Manor or his handlers must be forgetting that his own party -- the Republicans -- were the ones that let the state moratorium on landfill expansions expire.
So he really needs to distant himself from that party if he doesn't want people to perceive his campaign ads as garbage.
