Detroit, asking the dreaded question. DE-TV?
If the Quen Be De didn’t already hate me before, I’m pretty sure after tonight, she does. I asked the lingering question, “Why were you watching TV during important public debate on a tax increase?” What was one of her main excuses? First she said something about her monitor was just ‘on’. Because, you know, TV just appears before you. Then she used the favorite, 3rd grader excuse, “But Sally and Jimmy watch TV to during the meetings.”
It was pretty much beat up De night. I will give her props, she walked into the Lion’s den. Candidates, VanderLinden, Staggers and DeMatteo are very fiscally conservative, but heck, the Quen even had YsBrand disagreeing with her. Ouch.
She did chuckle when I walked in and she told me she found my picture of her with the logs on my site to be funny. I will agree with her on that point, it is pretty damn funny.
I will say this about the debate, it should have been filmed. It was one of the most dynamic city council debates I have ever seen. The answers were passionate, funny, stupid and intelligent all wrapped into one. Think about it. You put a lawyer, a mathematician, a history professor and a donut maker on the same stage, there is bound to be nuttiness.
I also finished the night with a drink I apparently invented called the, ‘Double-Vodka-Martini-Gimlet-tonic, with a lime.’ After my second favorite bartender told me that my drink was not really a drink. That’s the official name, so f’ck off.
