Driver has no regrets for firing gun on I-94.

“If I wanted to, I could have hit his truck or even him,” she said at her attorney’s office in Madison Heights. “I wasn’t trying to kill anybody.”

Ah, just a warning shot. That makes it okay, then.

“I do know better,” she said. “I’m far from an idiot.”

There, fixed that for you.

I do have to give the reporter, Gina Damron, credit for pointing out that:

“The incident is one of the few high-profile cases of its kind since the concealed weapons permit law was passed in 1999, making it easier for Michiganders to carry guns.”

She also resisted the usual journalist urge to throw in a quote from some Brady/VPC hack about “bringing back the Wild West” or “blood flowing in the streets.” It’s a remarkably balanced article, especially by Detroit Free Press standards.

Kermit the Frog covering NiN’s “Hurt.”

Akismet seems to be doing a bang-up job of keeping comment-spam at bay while letting real comments through. Thanks to the folks who responded to my bleg, and thanks to Tam for the linkage.

Seen here.

Headed into the city this afternoon to clean up the family graves in Woodmere Cemetery. I brought the digital camera along to document a few of the more… curious sights along the way.

I still laugh every time I drive by this place. Yeah, I’m immature. But it’s still pretty funny.

This isn’t just your everyday White Castle. No, this White Castle is the birthplace of the mighty MC5. Kick out the jams, motherfuckers!

I guess this is where you go if you don’t have the Internets. And no, I’ve never set foot in the place. I have broadband.

Visit scenic Detroit, Michigan! You can smell the refinery from a mile away.

Charming local color in a vibrant neighborhood.

I recommend the ham.

I’d wanted to do a little more, but this really isn’t the kind of neighborhood where a skinny white boy should be wandering around with a digital camera. Hmm, I wonder if the state tourism board is hiring…

Apparently I’ve reached some tipping point in popularity, since I woke up with 19 spam comments in the moderation queue this morning. By noon, there were another 25 waiting for me. This will not stand, man!

So I set up Akismet to handle my comment spam for me. I want to see how well it works, so consider this a bleg for legit comments…

The video for Mike Watt’s song Piss-Bottle Man. It is funny video, you must watch. Watt is the guy playing bass, pissing in a bottle, and getting abducted by aliens. Vocals by Evan Dando from the Lemonheads.

I are tired doggie.

I just applied for a security guard job. The pay sucks, but the job market in Michigan is fucking grim. Besides, the schedule would allow me to go back to school and pick up some IT credentials. And it should make for entertaining blogging…
