Detroit Today: A summary

Just in case it's hard for you to keep up with the drama, here's a recap:

• Ken Cockrell Jr. met with Granholm and Worthy to discuss...well, whatever.
• Dave Bing further contemplates running for mayor
• Christine Beatty "mulls" a plea deal, somehow ignoring the fact that she's cooked if she doesn't take it
  
• And finally, Ella Bully Cummings, the soon to be retired/resigned chief of police, has an announcement to make at 5:05 p.m. Why 5:05? Honestly.

In unrelated news that doesn't deserve it's own post--Jennifer "From the Block" Granholm will stand in as the fake-Sarah Palin for Joe Biden's debate practices. Shweet gig, Jenny.

Jenny From The Block Doing The Right Thing

She is going to hold hearings next week to determine whether to remove Kwame from office. I was afraid she was going to punt on this one (and who could blame her really--she's damned if she does or doesn't), but she came through.

Hearings start on the 3rd. Be there or be square.

And the beat goes on....

Granholm is officially in charge of this part of the Kwame mess. I just can hear the foul cries now.

Speedy Recovery

Hope you're feeling better soon, Jenny from the Block.

Degree for Women's Fired Up Lady of the Week Award: Venus Williams

Venus Williams, after being seeded low in this year's battle at Wimbeldon has shown them all by making the finals for a sixth, yes sixth, time. Not to mention she's my favorite of the Williams sisters. I don't know why...just is.

So congrats, Venus. You have not only succeeded to make the final round at the world's most prestigious tennis event, but you are also this week's Degree for Women Fired Up Lady of the Week. As was true with last week's winner, Jennifer Granholm, you will be receiving your prize pack when Degree decides to step up to the plate and give me some corporate sponsorship.

Degree for Women's Fired Up Lady of the Week Award: Jennifer Granholm

Now, I've been dogging her a bit lately because of the back and forth with the state legislature, but now she's my girl. Not only did she tell the legislature to give back 5% of their pay she told them to stop whining and not to take their vacation and get shit done.

That's why Gov. Jennifer Granholm is this week's Degree for Women Fired Up Lady of the Week. Congrats. When I actually get corporate sponsorship for this award, I will be sending out a sample pack of Degree for Women to the award recipient. Jenny From the Block--you'll have to wait. (If anyone has a connection with Degree, let me know. Their ultra clear rocks my world.)
