So in what I guess was supposed to be a dig on Trump and the Gulf of America, Pritzker, the billionaire fatass governor of Illinois whose family has 64 NGO’s funded by our taxpayer dollars, decided he was going to proclaim a change in the name of Lake Michigan to Lake Illinois and take over Green Bay, WI.
The mainstream media, who also do not know how to meme, are falling all over themselves about how clever and funny this is. Seriously. Do a search on the engine of your choice and you’ll see the glowing results.
Only, it’s not funny and it’s not the dig they think it is. 1) It’s just dumb and is actually more of a diss on Michigan than anything else and 2) imitation is the finest form of flattery.
Michiganders, who apparently do know how to meme (at least one does, replied.
So, dear Governor, I must ask: Are you sure you want to test us?
Lake Michigan has been ours from the beginning and we don’t share with other states well. It is, and will always be, Lake Michigan. Not Lake Illinois and definitely not “That Big Water Thingy We Go To When Corn Gets Boring.“
No, sir, it is ours. It has “Michigan” in its name because we protect it, play in it, and hold it dear to the point that if you continue with this farce of renaming OUR LAKE, you may find yourself in the middle of an unofficial war.
Sure, you might think you’re getting Lake Michigan, but we’ll end up annexing half of Chicago, all of Springfield, and the Oak Park Frank Lloyd Wright House—and the name of the lake still won’t change.
So do yourself a favor, Governor. Leave the lake alone. Stick to deep-dish pizza, wind tunnels disguised as streets, and reliving the glory days of the Jordan Bulls (or we could send Bill Laimbeer and Rick Mahorn down to straighten things out). We’ll keep our lake, our name, and our patience—for now.
Consider this your friendly warning.
Sincerely,
A Concerned Michigander
There’s more at the front end of that letter which is equally funny. Also, read the X responses in the Not the Bee article. Also funny.
