Mrs. O’Leary should shoot that damn cow Remember learning about the Great Chicago Fire in history class and how 19th century cities were basically tinderboxes on the brink of burning down? That’s pretty much the reality of life in present day Detroit. As we learned during last night’s 85 fires, a little wind and an illegal power hook-up can pretty much burn Detroit to the ground. Also a dangerously... Read more→

Next Tuesday, Michigan voters will nominate candidates for governor. Dyspathy plans to write-in Reverend David Murray because we want him to be the face of the Great Lakes State. The rest of you have to choose between the seven actual candidates on the ballot. The good news is you literally cannot screw this up. It doesn’t matter who wins the Republican and Democratic primaries, we’re... Read more→

Famous fecal stain Reverend David Murray was in the news again this week, because awful vulgarian (by which I mean honest and capable public servant) Gary Brown said Murray is the face of the Detroit Board of Education. Then Murray held a “NO” sign upside down. It was an interesting week for the Rev. Reverend David Murray, assuming that is his real name. Wait, what? Let me explain. Everyone makes... Read more→

If there was another guy holding an “AN” sign, they could be the card section in a Caddyshack remake. NO-NO-NO-ON-AN!

Even when the actual City Council is sane… Professional malcontents in the gallery make sure the 13th floor is a dump truck of crazy. Some angry lady had a stack full of petitions, so she thought she should speak first during public comment time. She was wrong, and learned that she was wrong the hard way. Then Gary Brown insulted convicted child abuser the Rev. Reverend David Murray by calling him... Read more→

Things that won’t make a lick of difference A secret group is secretly asking voters to let the mayor run DPS. Considering the school board includes a Team Kilpatrick kleptocrat, a duly adjudicated child abuser, and idiots who elected a barely literate perv as board president, maybe this isn’t a terrible idea. Until you think about how well mayoral control worked for Ella Bully Cummings’ DPD... Read more→

Lots of stuff about Mike “Tiny” Cox We could tell you how Cox is pissed off at Al Sharpton for doing something Al Sharpton-like. Or we could tell you how some police dispatcher says Cox attended the Manoogian stripper party. Instead, we want to talk about Andrew Shirvell, Cox’s former campaign manager and an Assistant Attorney General. Shirvell loves Cox but doesn’t care for the gays. When... Read more→

Canada is your new Frank Burns Corporal Maxwell Klinger just wanted to serve America. And wear a pretty dress. Same with fellow Lebanese-American C. Montgomery “Matty” Moroun. He’d also like a new bridge to go with the pretty dress. The problem is Canada – with help from their Manchurian Candidate Jennifer Granholm and her American operator Brooks Patterson - is trying to thwart Moroun’s... Read more→

Leyton, Benson win Democratic rehearsal dinner The Democrats summer nomination convention will run like a handmade Swiss watch. That’s because they had a practice run Saturday, and “endorsed” Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton for AG and Wayne State professor Jocelyn Benson for SoS. Thank God the UAW pushed Dan Kildee out of the governor’s race. If he was nominated, two Flint candidates... Read more→

The U.S. Secretary of Education, appointed by famous lackey of the capitalist oppressor class Barack Obama, can’t say enough good things about Robert “Bob” Bobb. Unlike the class conscious warriors of the Call ’Em Out Coalition, Arne Duncan really digs Bobb’s efforts to steal Detroit’s educational jewels from an inept political class and waste said jewels on actually... Read more→
