Going to have to check this one out.

Quoted: “HouseQuake,” a new film on the 2006 midterm elections, features Rahm Emanuel, as relentless a campaigner as he is a White House chief of staff.

Quoted: “I said, ‘How much time do I spend away from my family?”‘ Mr. Shuler recalls on camera. “‘Oh,’ he said, “it’s not as bad as you may think.’ So he decides to start calling. ‘Heath, I’m just calling to say I’m on my way to school to take my kids.’ ‘Heath, I’m on way now back to school I think I’m going to eat lunch with the kids today.’ ‘Heath, just letting you know I’m picking up my kids from school.’ ‘Hey, we’re going to soccer practice, we’re going to recital.’ He did this for two solid weeks.”

Oh, insurance companies. Enjoy those premiums we've been paying all those years! We won't miss this house or our ability to get credit that much anyway...

Quoted: James and Maria Ivory's dreams of a relaxing retirement on Florida's Gulf Coast were put on hold when they discovered their new home had been built with Chinese drywall that emits sulfuric fumes and corrodes pipes. It got worse when they asked their insurer for help — and not only was their claim denied, but they've been told their entire policy won't be renewed.

Quoted: A castoff reporter bought a newspaper in a town of 2,600 in rural New Mexico, saying he wanted to try a new direction.

Quoted: This is an icon of the fourteenth-century saint Vralkomir of Dnobst, the patron saint of extremely fast dancing.

Quoted: In the autumn of 1347, in response to a perceived slight from a Dnobstian maiden, the recently enthroned Tsar Nÿrdrag the Irascible (also known as “The Cowbird Tsar,” a Scandinavian foundling whom the previous Tsar and Tsarina unknowingly raised as their own) issued an edict banning fire in Dnobst.

Quoted: State law says no one may care for unrelated children in their home for more than four weeks a year unless they're licensed.

comments made my afternoon, despite my concerns about seay.

Quoted: The Detroit Tigers added lefty reliever Clay Rapada to their active roster, perhaps hinting that Bobby Seay's shoulder injury could be serious. Or it might just be a precautionary measure.

I know the city has bigger problems than HS sports. I guess this article illustrates those too, though.

Quoted: Two years ago, the Detroit Public School League basked in the glory of Detroit King's state football championship. Much has changed since then -- for the worse.
