Buckle up your seatbelts for news that gets national attention: Synagro, Rush Limbaugh, and the Super Bowl. If you thought following the 2008 text-messaging scandal involving former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was a bumpy public relations ride for the Motor City, brace yourself for the 2009 Synagro pay-to-play sludge-hauling federal investigation. When all is said and done, city government may be riddled with potholes that swallow up the careers of some very prominent Detroiters.
Ok, so popular radio commentator Rush Limbaugh wants America’s new President Barack Obama to fail. Well, isn’t that patriotic? Obama’s only mistake was dignifying Limbaugh’s foolish comment and giving him more to yap about.
And finally, get ready for Sunday’s Super Bowl in Tampa Bay, Florida. The Arizona Cardinals square off against the Pittsburgh Steelers. For Detroiters, it’s our annual painful reminder that our Lions who went 0 – 16 this past season have never played in the BIG GAME. How much longer will this dismal streak last?
