Man is the only animal that laughs and weeps, for he is the only animal that is struck with the difference between what things are and what they ought to be. – William Hazlitt

I had no idea the Lions were on that bad of a streak.
Today’s win broke a record-tying loss streak (19 games), their first win since–hold onto your hat–Dec. 23, 2007.
Just… wow. I think it might be time for the Ford family to sell.
Oh well, some good news considering U of M won. Yeah, I work there, what’s it to yah?

Guy Adams from The Independent tracks down Eminem (aka Marshall Mathers). A classic rise and fall story, but one that needs one more chapter. Come back, Slim, if not for yourself, then for Detroit. Lord knows that city needs a voice again.

It’s over.
The deal calls for Kilpatrick to plead guilty to two felony counts of obstruction of justice by committing perjury, agreeing to serve four months in jail, pay up to $1 million in restitution, and serve five years’ probation. He also agreed not to run for office during that five-year span.
The mayor will turn over his state pension to the City of Detroit, which paid $8.4 million to settle two whistle-blower lawsuits three former cops filed against the city.
…
In a rushed monotone, Kilpatrick told the court: “I lied under oath in the case of Gary Brown and Harold Nelthrope versus the city of Detroit … I did so with the intent to mislead the court and jury, to impede and obstruct the disposition of justice.”
I’m watching him consent to the plea deal as I type this. Now, it’s up to City Council to get their act together.

Yes, this whole situation has become so stupid, it’s fodder for ridicule at a national level.
