I don't take up the moral aspect of it, if that were the case than playboy San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsome who had an affair with his former deputey chief of staff's wife (who happen to be an aid in his office, as well) while divourcing his wife, shouldn't have been forgiven on moral grounds. Nor should Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa been forgiven on moral grounds by his consituents for having and affair with a local television news reporter, and dogged for years for cheating on his wife Corina. I could go on and on, but, this wasn't the first rodeo for either of these two if you know what I mean.

The affair is really the least of his worries. What is offensive here is how much money the mayor is costing the city because of this, and what seems to be perjury.

Did anybody else attend the rally this afternoon? I went into work early so that I could leave early and walk over to what was suppose to be the union protest, but was just as much as a support-fest. Most people kept their cool, but a few people, not surprisingly, got a little carried away.

It was just too cold out to stay very long, though I was there for about 45 minutes, I think.

This just goes to show you that the political system and vast majority of the people that we elect are corrupt. There are those out there who actually have a few threads of human decency, but they are so far and few between that something like this will be nothing more than a footnote in a text book

Michi, your pics are more complete than what's available at freep.com. (Watch out for shoving, now!)

Wonder if the Freepies can find an invoice and purchase order for those fancy jackets? I am guessing that the employees didn't just spontaneously decide to buy their own.

Thought I would hit up ebay to see if any of those sweet team K coats would happen to be on there... I didn't come across any but did fine this nice mouse pad which is a "10 on the phat-o-meter!" $12.95 is almost a steal, too bad for me though I have a laptop so I am always using the built in mouse. :wacko:Team Kwame mouse pad!

If the next round of text messages are released (made public...and it looks like they will), expect Detroit to fall into the Detroit River, float down stream and be swollowed up by the force that is the Maumee River.

Also, expect the same if they do NOT become public, as the city plans to spend millions of dollars appealing the ruling that they can and should be released.

This town is so f*ed up sometimes!

I'd be happy to have Dennis Archer as Governor. :)

I also think he would be good because he would have ties on both the West and East side of the state, so he wouldn't necessarily be "the Democrat from Detroit" or a Republican from the West side of the state.

I don't think it has anything to do with logistical problems. It is definatly the scandal and both parties probably wanted it moved. The city, which is hungry for travel business, wouldn't just simply not prepare itself for a major event like this.
