Need to see Detroit's mayor? Better get a visitor's pass

It is hard to decide whether Michigan's sorry political situation is funny or sad. Since I'm an Ohioan I'll go with funny.

Judge Ronald Giles just sent Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick to jail moments after the mayor pleaded for forgiveness and admitted he made an unauthorized trip to Windsor on city business.

So, when you get bond to stay out of jail and you violate the terms of the bond you get put in jail. Okay, makes sense to me. Oddly enough the fools in Michigan just this week reelected the mother of the crooked mayor to another term in congress. Actually, she just won the Democratic primary, but Michigan is such a liberal cesspool that winning the primary means she gets another term.
