Our Next Hizzoner?

Well, we native and lifelong Detroiters can now rest easy. Geoffrey Fieger is running for Mayor in the 2013 elections.

That announcement brings warmth to the hearts of us all. Or something akin to that. Warmth, after all, can be brought by from many sources. But let's say that we're all afire with excitement over the thought of Mr. Fieger becoming our next Mayor.

It just about assures the re-election of current Mayor Dave Bing. He ain't exactly Mr. Excitement, as Fieger has said, but the City of Detroit isn't really in a position for much more excitement. Kwame Kilpatrick has just about drained the excitement from us. We need our quiet time.

Detroit has been a laughingstock for long enough. We really don't need your help. Mr. Fieger. We seem to do a good enough job of providing laughs for the rest of the world as it is. Kindly save your jokes for the courtroom.
