Liberating America from Foreign Oil: A Look at An Energy Indepedent Future

The Best and the Brightest v2.0

With Friends Like These
Today, Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, Sen. Barack Obama’s “friend” and “colleague,” pled guilty to felony obstruction charges. He will serve four months in jail and pay a $1 million fine. Kilpatrick dragged out the inevitable for seven months at significant cost to Michigan tax payers. Michigan can do better than Kwame Kilpatrick.
