Detroit City Council President Pro Tem Monica Conyers, in which she referred to the council president as the movie character Shrek and taunted him to "do it baby" when he threatened to adjourn a hearing, brought proceedings to a temporary halt.

More fun than a three-ring circus.

[HiramQuick]

But I take after my german grandfather ... when he got angry he would always yell out ...”I’m two turds mad.” I never saw him totally mad (angry) ... just two turds mad

But again what do I know ... I’m just a typical white boy.

And I’m Pi$$ed!! “Tree Turds mad”

Cities have historically been places where large numbers of people came together to conduct trade to each other's advantage. Detroit (and, sadly to say, my beloved Buffalo) are now just collections of people living in close proximity without an economic reason figuring out ways to convince the state and federal governments to support them.

This is what government looks like under that premise.

We here in Southeastern MI by osmosis get lumped into this Detroit mess and for an area whose economy is worst in the nation, we have been taken it down another notch because of Kawame and his problems.

The carnival continues, every day there is a new act. I must start a "Daily Detroit Dysfunction Tread" or something to that effect with links to all the acts until the Feds come in and mop up the mess.

From what I hear (a friend of a friend who is an atty in another state following this mess closely), they might not come in with the same perjury charges/issues, but the whole public works issues and asking for his buddy to get a piece of the action, well that is a different story (just speculation on the atty's part).

[blam]

To much dis-respecting going on.

Daily Detroit Dysfunction Tread

Ping!? /h

[baiamonte]

Hey! No dis-respecting up in here.

Are you talking about the feds not charging Kwame with perjury but instead going after Kwame and Bobby Furgeson and that whole bidding on city contacts mess?

She was just “keepin’ it real”

I wonder why so many UHauls are leaving Detroit.
