Granholm gets Today show boost

Maria Shriver takes a look at the changing roles of women by profiling Gov. Jennifer Granholm and her husband, Dan Mulhern.

The report details how the couple's roles changed when Granholm became governor. Mulhern admits he felt like he was missing something when he had to step back to raise the children while he saw his wife "going full bore."

But Granholm and Mulhern say the arrangement has worked well because Granholm says Mulhern is a "better parent" than she is.

Michigan becomes an embodiment of the trend that there is no "typical" family, Matt Landauer argues on the broadcast.

How the world sees detroit

Good article, in case you didn't read it:

http://www.tnr.com/blog/the-avenue/%E2%80%98culture-eats-strategy-breakfast%E2%80%99-detroit%E2%80%99s-bi-polar-thinking-auto-recovery#

The comments are actually better than the article, talking about the overall lack of education and skills among a populace that was told over and over down through the years that all they needed was a high school diploma.

What I think it may mean is Detroit has a lot further to fall. They have to admit there's a problem and they don't yet seem to be willing to do that.

How the world sees detroit

Living down here in Georgia I hear alot of people make fun of Detroit. And with the lastest mess at Cobo a while back it just intensifies it. I used to live north of Detroit and I get a little mad at how far down the tubes Detroit has gone thanks to all the bad press it has been getting:Kwayme,Cobo,Government Motors,etc. Whatever happened to the once shining city that Detroit was?
