The world is a little colder now DUI Attorney Daniel Hajji resigned as incarcerated felon Kwame Kilpatrick’s lawyer. And just 24 hours ago, we had high hopes for a Hajji-led appeal. Don’t cry, for the story of Daniel Hajji and Kwame Kilpatrick is one of love and triumph and unintentional comedy. Remember the good times. Like this passage from his “grossly noncompliant and inappropriate”... 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→

Emergency Financial Managers are just like us! They eat out! They walk the dog! They talk on the phone! In the case of Robert “Bob” Bobb, he forgets to pay the water bill. Just like us! And that’s a problem. Maybe Bobb has been in Michigan too long because, seriously, we need someone who isn’t just like us to fix the Detroit Public Schools mess. If Bobb keeps this up, pretty soon he’ll... Read more→

Dave Bing’s budget is Enron-licious Remember back when we said Dave Bing was ok because he was serious about fixing the budget? It was a simpler time. We were all so young and innocent. Turns out, Team Bing’s budget is a dump trunk of stupid. Pretty much everyone on Council is like what the fuck? Except Joann Watson. She doesn’t like this budget either, but that’s because it does something... 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→

Detroit’s smartARM: it’s time to live! How does Detroit turn $440,000,000 structural budget deficit into a mere $85,000,000 shortfall? Sell $250,000,000 of bonds! It’s like how you “got out of debt”, took a vacation, and bought an HDTV with the 3/1 ARM refi back in 2005. How’s that working out for you? The thing about borrowing money is you eventually have to pay it back. Unless... Read more→

Entire state needs Robert “Bob” Bobb The ongoing effort to make Michigan economically competitive with Costa Rica and Haiti is bankrupting our schools. According to awful radio host/worse columnist Paul W. Smith, that’s because evil Barack HUSSEIN Obama won’t give Michigan a giant bag of federal (socialist?) money. Or, maybe, our culture values boats in the driveways of our vinyl-sided... Read more→

Dan Gilbert says something Mortgage originator Dan Gilbert is an accomplished person. In college, he ran an illegal bookmaking operation. As the Cleveland Cavaliers’ owner, he illegally removed drinking fountains from Gund Arena. He also secretly lent $60,000 to convicted felon Kwame Kilpatrick. Gilbert isn’t satisfied. He wants to do more, like take tax credits to relocate some of his business... Read more→

Bing to downsize precious jewel vacant lots Detroit is getting leaner. It started last fall when voters replaced the tonnage of Martha Reeves, Barbara-Rose Collins, Monica Conyers, Shelia Cockrel, and Alberta Tinsley-Talabi with lighter, more agile (and sane) City Council members. Now the jack-booted federal government will infringe on Detroit’s home rule by counting our citizens with this “census.”... Read more→

The courtship of Kwame’s father Convicted felon and probation scofflaw Kwame Kilpatrick and his 26 74 separate money orders are busy today explaining why he didn’t make his full restitution payment. In the meantime, the Feds are preparing charges against Bernard “The Killer.” Also Kwame. Because Karl Kado squealed and passed a polygraph. In better times, when Kado was feeding Team Kilpatrick... Read more→
