What are you opinions of Mayor Kwame and Carilta Kilpatrick's speech?

Did you believe him when he said he was sorry?

I did

well ....

Only, the fact that he is sorry he got caught lying in a court of law. Now he possibly faces perjury charges and jail time.

Who elected this guy anyway?!?!?!?!?

Oh yeah, the same people that elected our wonderful Governor Granholm?

Don't interupt my tv schedule again Kwame, I need to know what's going on in the entertaiment world, that is what really matters in life. Tvhappy LMAO

If you're proud that your region makes the national news 96 nights each year because Pellston is the coldest spot in the nation, you might live in Michigan .

If your local Dairy Queen is closed from November through March, you might live
In Michigan .

If you instinctively walk like a penguin for five months out of the year, you might live in Michigan .

If someone in a store offers you assistance and they don't work there, you might live in Michigan .

Forehead, you might live in Michigan .

Subject: Watch out!


I can't verify, but did see a lot police out recently! Surely anyone *I* know is too smart to be caught speeding, or w/o insurance papers, but here's a head's up anyway..



Starting March 1, 2009, Michigan will launch a 31 day speeding ticket
frenzy. The state estimates that $9 million dollars will be generated in
speeding tickets, with an additional $3.5 million in revenue for failure to
wear a seatbelt. $1 million will go to pay state troopers overtime. There
will be 47 state troopers on duty at all times patrolling the main
intersections and highways with the highest rates of speeding.

They are the following:

I-75, especially from the Ohio line north to Woodhaven, and again from
Auburn Hills to Flint
I-96 east and west in its entirety
I-275 north and south
I-675 north and south
I-94 east and west from Battle Creek to Jackson
I-696 east and west in its entirety
I-196 east and west
US-131 north and south
I-69 east and west from Lansing to Flint and again from Flint eastward to
Port Huron.
I-69 north and south from I-94 to Lansing
M-14 east and west from I-94 to I-275
M-39 from I-94 to I-96
M-59, especially from Pontiac to Utica, and from Utica east
US-10 from Midland to Bay City
US-23 from I-96 to Flint
US-27 from Lansing to Mt. Pleasant

Quotas:
5 mph above the limit can justify a ticket and every state trooper is
supposed to pull a car over and write a ticket every 10 to 20 minutes. They
have issued 30 brand new unmarked Dodge Charger Police cruisers and canceled
all vacation time. In addition, they are bringing in all of their part
timers on full time for the month. This nonsense will conclude on April 1.
Driving Ticket fine increase in MI:
Starting on January 15th, the price of a ticket for violation of MI Law
39:3-29 (failure to show your driver's license, registration, or proof of
insurance card at the time you are stopped) went from $44.00 to $173.00.
Please make sure your vehicles have the proper documents in them. If you
jump in the car to run to the store and forget your wallet with your license
in it and you are stopped.... Oh well... you just spent $173. And the fine
for not having all three documents is $519!!!
