Keep him in there!
Judge orders Detroit mayor jailed - CNN.com
DETROIT, Michigan (AP) — Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick will spend the night in jail after a judge ruled he violated the terms of his bond in his perjury case by making a business trip to Canada and not informing the court.
Judge Ronald Giles ordered Kilpatrick to jail Thursday, a decision the judge said he would have made for any “John Six-Pack” defendant before him.

Yes, it did pain me to draft Braylon Edwards.
Fantasy football draft. Loads-o-fun. Goes slow. Feeling better after nap and some Tylenol Cold.
I can haz cold? Gee thanks. Stupid germs.
Way to blow a 6-2 lead, Tigers. Why do I bother watching them? Why am I STILL watching them?
Sending a message from Twitula to try it out. Looks nice but gets wonky when I switch screen orientation.
I’m unhappy with the way Twitter tools posts my tweet updates. It posts them at the end of the day, but the calendar day for it is from like 4pm to 3:59pm, so it’s always out of wack. I’m going to try posting all tweets directly now. We’ll see how this goes.
You probably have to be a geek to see why I find my Google Reader unread count so funny.
But trust me, it’s funny.
So today you get a regular update that’s not much of an update. My arm hurts and my thumb hurts. My arm I have no clue. Just sore. My thumb, I seem to have hurt it at the tail-end of last week, and it even was bleeding a little bit on Friday night. Now it’s just really sore and hitting the spacebar hurts like a bi-otch.
To tide you over, take a look at a picture of an expensive (although old) router covered with antifreeze.
Nifty, eh?
‘Extreme Makeover’ house faces foreclosure | ajc.com
More than 1,800 people showed up to help ABC’s “Extreme Makeover” team demolish a family’s decrepit home and replace it with a sparkling, four-bedroom mini-mansion in 2005.Three years later, the reality TV show’s most ambitious project at the time has become the latest victim of the foreclosure crisis.
After the Harper family used the two-story home as collateral for a $450,000 loan, it’s set to go to auction on the steps of the Clayton County Courthouse Aug. 5. The couple did not return phone calls Monday, but told WSB-TV they received the loan for a construction business that failed.
We were just talking about this last week, or rather, something similar. As Chad had pointed out, what happens to these people when they can’t afford the taxes on these houses? And, how do they keep them up?
I guess this is a good sign of what happens after those shows. I’m sure some of them are OK, but I bet this isn’t the only family who’s tried to capitalize not just on the house that they get, but the value of the home.
If I hunted, this is what would probably happen.
It’s also what my shooting looks like on hour 4 of Halo.
Mmmm… bagels. I love me some bagel.
This morning on the way to work, I stopped by Meijer to pick up some milk. I like to keep milk at work for my cereal, for those days when I don’t eat a breakfast bar, a breakfast sandwich, or - get this - a bagel.
I decided to break left when I entered the store and check out the bakery, and picked me up a nice shiny and new bagel. Only got one because they only had one plain one, and when I’m in need of a single bagel, I prefer plain. It’s hard to go wrong with plain with cream cheese.
I made my way to the back of the store to pick up the milk when I saw the discount bakery rack. Dude, that thing is filled up in the morning! I pick some bread or bagels up there from occasion in the evening, but there’s usually slim pickings. Now I know to get there in the morning.
I couldn’t resist the urge to get a grab-bag full of bagels. You get like 9 for $2.79, and they’re only from the previous day. That’s not really a big deal. Of course, I did not return my shiny new bagel. That would have been rude, plus I really wanted a fresh one.
So I ate my shiny new bagel for breakfast. Right now, I’m eating what seems to be some sort of whole-grain or something. Not bad, but not as good as a plain. I have like 8 more to go. Probably won’t get through them before they get stale, but there’s two onion ones in there that I can do without. They will of course be sacrificed to the bagel gods.
When I was up at State, I used to go to Caf-2-Go all the time. It was a cafeteria that you could go to a maximum of twice a day even if you had the unlimited meal plan, and pick up food and take it with you. It always had a good selection of food. We - and by we I mean Bob and some of the State friends - used to go and stock up on goodies to be eaten at a later date. One of my favorites was to get the bagels. I’d store those suckers up like they were gold, and when I was hungry at 12am, 2am, 4am, 6am, or whenever I was still up and should have been in bed, I’d partake of the bagel-eating experience.
Mmmm… bagel memories.
So that’s my bagel story for today. You said you wanted more real posts. You did not specify quality or subject matter. 
I’m not sure that if there were a couple of moose… mooses?… no… moose in my backyard, I don’t think running to get the video camera would be my first instinct. Maybe second, after calling animal control.
Oh, and I certainly wouldn’t use crappy music as a background.
I posted this a long time ago, but it came up again in a feed. Still funny.
