Tax dollars at work

The Detroit City Council passed a unanimous resolution calling for the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Cheney.

I guess they don't have any real issues in Detroit.

Unless you count...

* Detroit's crime rate makes it second only to Camden, N.J., as America's most dangerous city.

* Detroit is consistently in the top 5 for homicide rates, 414 in 2006.

* Detroit has an adult functional illiteracy rate of 47 percent.

* Detroit has 26% of its population living below poverty.

Plus, the have to organize volunteers every Halloween Eve to prevent arson associated with Devil's Night .

By the way, the resolution was sponsored by Councilwoman Monica Conyers, who didn't vote on the resolution because she was in Hawaii for a national pension conference (the looting thereof? and the scientific community is united in that fact).

Conyers husband is Dummycrat Congressman John Conyers , who late last year "accepted responsibility" for a series of House rules violations involving the use - and abuse - of his staffers.

According to published reports, Conyers used several staffers as his personal servants - requiring them to babysit and tutor his children, chauffeur him to personal events, help his wife with her law-school classes, work on his and his wifes campaigns and pay restaurant and motel bills.

One staffer was even ordered to move into Conyers' home for six weeks and serve as a live-in nanny to his kids.

All the while on Conyers' Congressional payroll!

They've got their priorities straight in Detroit, definitely work worth doing.
