I just don’t know how to please you. The idea that Michigan can’t create enough garbage for its own needs is ludicrous.
Patterico on Neiwert on the Bernard Goldberg murders.

I’m also beginning to sense a culture of something……….
You know, it is like the NFL. You have teams that you think are going to dominate the playoffs. And then this team you kind of forgot about just comes out of nowhere.
When it comes to state corruption, Illinois (Chicago), Louisiana, and New Jersey are the powerhouses–and then Michigan just surprises the hell out of you. Go Michigan!
Boy, I loved moving to this state.
We try harder.
Now see, this is exactly why we need a “fairness doctrine”. This kind of fact-sided non-garbage must be balanced out.
Parsnip?
Detroit is a political cesspool and Michigan voters know by now what they’re getting when they put a (D) in office. Its kinda like people being shocked when politicians out of Chicago turn out to be corrupt and shady and unable to tell the truth.
At its most basic, the press is complicit in this corruption when its done by democrats. Proper vetting catches alot of this stuff early on but the press doesn’t cover it until suddenly, there’s alot of people asking questions. If the press did its job, Obama would never be president- we’d either have McCain or Hillary, neither of which would be my choice but both of which have considerably more experience.
And when Hillary Clinton appears to be the more ethical and truthful of your two candidates, something is horribly wrong.
Does Papas have anything to do with the Detroit Lions?
That would explain a lot.
How can you win a game while you’re a partially or wholly owned subsidiary of Pure Evil, Inc.?
Neiwert, Dan.
I cannot comment since my state can’t even decide who our senator is going to be. We’re still counting votes. Whee!!
Every day of counting is a Franken free day. Feel free to count for the next 6 years.
There is that.
Thanks, slart.
“I cannot comment since my state can’t even decide who our senator is going to be. We’re still counting votes. Whee!!”
It’s because your flies up there aren’t only a nuisance. They bite! All goddamn summer.
Enough to drive a man crazy.
I’ll stay down here in Texas with the rattlesnakes.
I have no idea about Papas. IIRC, the Detroit Lions are owned by the Ford Family, which explains many things about both the Lions and the Ford Motor Company.
My only problem with Texas is the killer bees. I really don’t care for them at all. Still, if things get bad enough I might have to move there for the Last Stand™.
Killer bees can’t survive in cold climates because they don’t make enough honey to last the winter. That was a fun fact for you.
OMG, I KNOW Jim Pappas. No, he doesn’t own the Lions. He and a partner owned a restaurant in Greektown, and (hello) Fishbones – where I worked for years. I got the job (hello) because I knew Pappas and his partners.
Pappa was one of the original owners of the Casinos, which he had to sell due to “issues.” I got a phone call from someone (?) about testifying years ago. I guess all employees got a call. HA.
BIG TIME Democrats. I even bartended at a party at one of their houses which was a fundraiser for some Dem back during the Clinton years.
I know the family REALLY well. My Dad redesigned their house ( Lakeshore Drive, Grosse Pointe Shores, of course.)
I have to laugh that they call him a Lothario. That he was indeed. Oh, I have stories.
You realize that you cannot leave us hanging, Carin.
BTW: hope the basement/house is on schedule for restoration.
“My only problem with Texas is the killer bees.”
Fucking Discovery/ National Geographic Channels.
Always with the doomsday “It’s not IF a asteroid hits/ Earth core stops spinning/ super volcano under Yellowstone erupts/ Sun explodes/ Gamma Ray burst hits/ Killer Bees take us all…but only a question of WHEN?
You’re more likely to survive a commercial airline crash, then get on another plane (how you gonna get home?), have it crash, survive that second flaming 30,000 foot lawn dart, stumble out of the wreckage, only to get struck by lightening…twice, than you are to die in a killer bee attack.
Depending on your neck of the woods down here or enjoyed outdoor activities there’s much scarier wildlife to look out for.
Isn’t that house in the Farms, Carin?
Well, he’s … not exactly a good person. Basically. He’s a ruthless businessman who will screw whoever. Unethical. Actually, he’s one of those types liberals claim to hate.
Oh, and with a history of not paying his taxes. That’s what got him in trouble with the Casinos.
Nope. Shores. Unless he moved w/in the last year?
This is the massive house that got two even more massive, symmetrical wings added, right?
Maybe I’m thinking of a different house, though…
No, but I know who owns that house too ;) Another VERY shady business man.
No, the Pappas house was known for being the ugliest house on Lakeshore. It’s nice looking now. Glass front.
It’s funny, though, because Stabenow’s big (only) issue is that she was stopping the garbage coming in from Michigan.
Oh, OK. There was a protest once outside the house I described, several years back. “Your neighbor is a crook!” was the cry to passers-by.
Yep. He is. I can’t remember the particulars at the moment, but my husband knows all the details. Something about property in St. Clair Shores that his buddies in local government … their property got eminent domained, and the guy then built something.
If you don’t chew Big Red, then FUCK YOU.

Michael Savage is one of Goldberg’s 100 people. So, one supposes this fellow would read Savage’s books, for teh hate, then murder him using his own teh hate to do so.
Now its all wrapped up in a tidy little package.
So…he’s on LSD?
My only comment on Neiwert is that he sees the fnords. IYKWIMAITTYD.
NAZIS!
Boo!
And there ain’t no road just like it
Anywhere I’ve found
Running south on Lake Shore Drive heading into town
Just slippin’ on by on LSD, Friday night trouble bound.
I’m not sure, but it may be that regional etiquette demands that ONLY the Chicago Lakeshore Drive can be called LSD.
But: fuck that, I say.
True story: Lakeshore Drive is spelled that way in one of the five cities that make up Grosse Pointe, but spelled Lake Shore Drive in another. A third calls it what Detroit and suburbs further north call it: Jefferson.
What? I mean, who DOESN’T get their kill orders from Bernie Goldberg?
Oh, I’m the only one?
Nevermind…
