The Michigan Leg. and Gov. Snyder together have been an endless source of comedy in recent years. But not in a good way.

In a hidden cave somewhere in the Shenandoah Valley there are eight large plastic barrels stuffed full of cash...

I suspect that the bling is just the easiest to visualize and simplest manifestation of the McDonnells' corruption for the media to report. It is highlighted because stuff like that grabs attention and is easy to put into a headline.

Self-promotion or truth in advertising? You decide.

In general, how much of a tool does one have to be to make it onto the guest list for one of these shindigs? Asking for a friend.

While the McDonnell's had all the subtlety of a herd of elephants rampaging through the underbrush, I have this nagging feeling that this sob story the defense will weave will appeal to at least one juror. After all, it only takes one to hang the jury.

<i>We are looking forward to the upcoming week, if only to get the most possible detail from the defense squad...</i>

C'mon -- these folks are from the Party of Personal Responsibility. I expect the Gov to say "Your Honor, I plead 'guilty' as charged. I demand you give me the maximum sentence possible under the law [holds out wrists for handcuffing]."

Next up: Dick Cheney signs up for military duty in Afghanistan...

I am sure if the prosecutors cracked open the campaign finance books they wouldn't find anything suspicious, right?

Do you have a public role that I could exploit for personal gain? Because I could supply you with an engraved Cassio timepiece, a high fashion nylon fanny pack, and/or the use of a 2003 Jetta. You might dig me.

I've got my own company, too. I sell toilet paper dabbed with nicotine patches that have had a laser pointer shone on it. It cures hemorrhoids.
