Mitch Found!!!!

You may have heard the news.....Indiana man goes awol, crashing his plane into a Florida swamp and escaping by motorcycle in order to avoid the dismal mess he had made of things. Well, "here's the rest of the story":

I believe the man was actually Mitch Daniels. Yes, to avoid embarrassment over the dismal shape of Indiana's economy and historically high unemployment rate, he piloted a plane and attempted to fake his own death prior to having to give his State of the State speech. Leaving a note behind for his family, it simply said "I got the public to buy the crap I was shoveling last fall, but there's no hiding it now."

Trading in his signature Harley for a flashier red-state model, he tried to avoid capture by telling authorities that it's the local units of government's fault.....ya know, for everything. Meaning to crash into a water hazard at a swanky golf club rather than a swamp was his only sign of remorse until authorities said fuel leaked out of the plane destroying the delicate eco-system. At that he gave his usual "I've pulled something over on them" grin.

The fugitive from public justice was forced to give his State of the State address anyway and in typical Daniel's style, invoked the attitude of superiority by stating that at least we aren't like our neighboring states.

And to that a collective amen was heard from the good citizens of Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, Iowa, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Missouri, New York, Minnesota, South Dakota, Kan...

Oh, to be as fortunate as the citizens of Illinois who are impeaching their governor.
