Whack-A-Mole!

The crazies are at it again! I am really getting tired of these slow news days. Why? Because the Detroit media never lets a day go by without SOME story on the mayor. For those who don't live in the Metro Detroit area and think I may be over reacting a bit, don't. The coverage is much the same around here as the media frenzy from September 11th.

YESTERDAY's news...

The county prosecutor wants to limit the mayor's travel because his last trip out of town wasn't related to his job. I watched his arraignment and the judge didn't give him any restrictions aside from staying in the U.S. and informing Pretrial Services beforehand, which he did... The story

A local attorney filed suit against the mayor and his former assistant to repay the money that the city paid to settle the whistleblower lawsuit. He claims that the suit is on behalf of the citizens of the city. He also claims that it has nothing to do with his campaign for judge this year... That story

Several citizens decided to have the mayor evicted from his office and the Mayoral Residence and went to serve eviction notices at both places... The video

Not just the aged but they young are also getting in on the act. One teen is getting his 15 minutes because of an editorial... Video and link to text here.

The City Council and their clownery At times I think they are even worse than the mayor... See

Oh yeah, and the attorney for the fired police officers in the case that started this whole thing says he did not commit extortion when he showed the text messages to the mayor and his attorney. Yet the settlement was banged out the same night. Rumor has it that the text messages increased the settlement offer by about 6 million... But he said

Is it any wonder that I am a little over tired of this whole thing? I just want to get a giant mallet and play one spirited game of Whack-A-Mole. Every time one of these crazies pops their head outta the ground for a minute or two of fame or infamy, BAM! Right back into the ground!!!!

But maybe it is just me...
