<p>Fantastic, <a href="http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/article/20100429/NEWS04/4290344/Texting-while-driving-ban-to-become-law-in-Michigan">another law</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Michigan's attempts to crack down on distractions on the road will include a ban on sending, typing or reading text messages or e-mails while driving starting July 1.<br />
<br />
Granholm is scheduled to sign the legislation Friday on a broadcast of &quot;The Oprah Winfrey Show.&quot;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Why? One comment on the LSJ site said Oprah supports Obama and Granholm is going to need a new job soon. Cynical, but certainly possible.</p>
<p>There is also the possibility that the law is ultimately pointless, but it's one of those fashionable laws that are very vogue right now. And our fearless leader wants to look like she is a progressive executive to all the hyper-liberals watching from Washington D.C.<br />
<br />
Just like celebrity fundraising, it's about looking good, not really making a difference.</p>
