I’ve always thought it was funny that the birthplace of the GOP is in a city named after a president who thought he was screwing us by taking away Toledo and giving us the worthless upper peninsula.

Jackson gave Toledo to Ohio if they would deliver the votes for Democrats. Ohio did go to the democrats but they still lost.

We Michiganders have a weird sense of irony about us.

Today Jackson is a depressing afterthought of a city if there ever was one.
