CARTOON of the WEEK: 'We're from the Government; We're Here to Help Your Government'

Crain's Detroit Business - May 31
When I read about this bill, the cartoon idea practically drew itself! Note to State Legislators: You can lend your advice to my hometown when you've balanced the State budget, proven that you can live within a budget, and you're all demonstrating common sense leadership.
That's the Point!


Off the Drawing Board: One of my alternative ideas for this week focused upon the order to return former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick to jail last week. His sentencing coincided with the final episode of the TV series "Lost" and I couldn't help seeing the parallels in both "plots" - casting Kwame as a Hurley-type character to play off the comment on his sentence by John Locke.
