So please don't believe the spin when the Clinton campaign cries about Michigan. Keep in mind the actual results Clinton is holding out for (55% Clinton-45% uncommitted) with the specific districts factored in would give her a 73-55 delegate split. So all of this over an 8 delegate swing.

I am pretty sure Obama's campaign is going to force this compromise purely out of spite at this point, because the 18 delegates don't matter at this point.

Quoted: Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton on Thursday rejected a compromise plan to seat Michigan's delegates to the national convention that would give 69 delegates to Clinton and 59 to Barack Obama.

In case you were as startled as I was, that is just a photo of sleeping child. CNN is really trying to outdo themselves on this one.

Quoted: Myanmar's cyclone survivors have insufficient fuel to burn the rotting corpses of the dead as the ruling military junta is accused of being too slow in letting aid groups into the country.

Just to be clear, this is news from this afternoon.

Quoted: Democratic Rep. Heath Shuler of North Carolina announced Wednesday that he is backing Hillary Clinton's presidential bid, CNN has confirmed.

Heath Shuler, displaying the same decision making ability from his days as quarterback of the Redskins.

Interesting. Not quite enough to make you go out and buy a new vehicle, but if you were already in the market it would certainly make a Chrysler Sebring or Dodge Avenger considerably more attractive.

Quoted: Called "Let's Refuel America," the incentive plan allows buyers of most Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep vehicles to sign up for a gas card that will reduce the price they pay to $2.99 a gallon at the pump. While other automakers have in the past offered consumers cards and other ways to pay for fuel, Chrysler's plan is much wider in scope. It is national and covers most of the lineup.

The print edition had this headline:

"Shift To Car Sales Slams Big Three"

Which struck me because it seems like The Big Three and pro-American Auto Industry economists blame labor unions for many of the industry's current problems. But clearly that headline points out that it is a failure in philosophy across the board that leads to these multi-billion dollar quarterly losses.

Quoted: Passenger cars outsold light trucks last month for the first time in at least two decades as soaring gasoline prices sent consumers scrambling to more fuel-efficient vehicles. That dealt a major blow to Detroit's Big Three automakers, which are still heavily dependent on sales of trucks and SUVs.

About 2 mins in some Detroit area 6th graders take Monica Conyers to task over her childish behavior in a city council meeting.

I think its officially time to put Detroit in the hands of OCP and Robocop... Shrek!!

Quoted: A Detroit City Council special investigative session into a police whistle-blower lawsuit settlement erupted into a yelling match when President Pro Tem Monica Conyers made claims that she was being disrespected. The argument began when Conyers asked an independent attorney who was testifying if the council could be sued by Detroit residents for approving the $8.4-million lawsuit settlement.

Lets take a look at the negatives surrounding the Lions' nine draft picks:

Quoted: (1) Cherilus is more of a developmental prospect in our opinion... (2) you wouldn't think he could be an NFL linebacker; he lacks ideal size, doesn't have great range and can be a liability in man coverage... (3) Smith can dance in the backfield too much and he's a little bit of an upright runner, so he takes some big hits... (4) he doesn't have great size or the frame to get substantially bigger. He also has to learn to shed blocks quicker... (5) Avril doesn't have great size and plays with a narrow base, so he has problems holding his ground when teams run at him... (6) Moore is an undersized receiver who doesn't have great top-end speed... (7) Felton isn't a dominant lead blocker and will not put linebackers on their backs. He isn't an explosive open-field runner either... (8) The biggest knock on him is that he's vastly undersized for the interior defensive line, which could mean that teams will have success running at him... (9) There are some durability concerns, though, due to a knee injury. Does not change direction adequately.

This season is going to be *totally* different than last season.

Forget the fact that this is a (ridiculous) song. Let's analyze the real life scenario this song is based on:

You suspect your boyfriend of being unfaithful. Surely there has to be a better way to confirm your suspicions than smelling his junk.

It would make my day (and restore my faith in humanity) to find out this was an elaborate prank.
