Goats Amassing on Detroit's City Limit

Sam Riddle may have said it best when he declared the only difference between Detroit and a third world city is that Detroit didn't have goats in the street. If corruption is a precursor to third-world status, today's elected officials in Detroit are putting the local goat trade on the fast track.

The latest installment comes from WXYZ:


(WXYZ) Our reporting partners at the Detroit News are reporting that the FBI has electronic surveillance that links Detroit City Council President Pro Tem Monica Conyers to the Synagro scandal.

The evidence reportedly proves that Conyers received either a payment or payments in connection with the city-approved sludge contract.

Conyers was a vocal opponent of the $47 million a year Synagro contract, but changed her position and eventually voted for the deal when it passed by 5-4 vote in November.
Now, is it any wonder that Conyers is lukewarm on the ouster of Kwame Kilpatrick over charges of perjury and gross incompetence? Monica would never condemn Kwame over his actions, simply because those are the types of actions Monica appreciates in an elected official.

Who would have ever thought that our beloved John Conyers could be successful at finding a single women with the same ethical guidelines and moral compass that has pointed him though his many years of selfless public service?

When, exactly, did corruption become one of eHarmony's 29 Dimensions of higher compatibility?
