Car Eating Potholes

It happened this morning. The birth of a car eating pothole. So, instead of actually preventing the pothole from ruining someone's car/morning, the news stands out there and films 20 people changing their tires. Yep, 20+ cars all at once fell victim to the largest pothole of the year. Why couldn't they park their damn van in front of it? How does the news beat the cops/road commission to the scene? I love the motor city! And in other news, the mayor of Detroit has a new idea to cover the money shortfall. A 2 percent tax on fast food. He says 2 percent on fast food would raise 17 million dollars. That's a lot of happy meals! Funny thing is, 17 million doesn't put a dent in the shortfall. He had to cut something like 50 ambulance drivers. It seems that people were using 911 to get an ambulace ride to where they needed to go, stating that the bus they normally took was not running. They say 50% of the 911 calls were for a ride, not help. I don't know that I believe that one, but that's what they are saying.... Scary!
