     Just more Detroit corruption. Starting to creep John Conyers way. Not his issues, his wifes.
     Hope with the new Mayor Bing, they can get a handle on it and he’s not another taker.

   John Conyers’ wife pled guilty this morning to conspiracy to commit bribery.  Not good.

   looks like minnesota’s finally going to get their second senator seated:

   The Minnesota Supreme Court has ordered that Democrat Al Franken be certified as the winner of the state’s long-running Senate race.

   The high court rejected a legal challenge from Republican  Norm Coleman, whose options for regaining the Senate seat are dwindling.

   Justices said Franken is entitled to the election certificate he needs to assume office. With Franken and the usual backing of two independents, Democrats will have a big enough majority to overcome Republican filibuster.

   Coleman hasn’t ruled out seeking federal court intervention.

   wapo

   guess the didn’t trust the pigs, eh.
