Happy V-Day

While Valentine's Day -like any other holiday involving showing non-family members affection- usually means doom for me, I'd be a heartless bastard to let that stop me from wishing others happiness and joy on this holiday. Even if it's been pretty much reduced to commercialized peer pressure forcing couples to re-declare something they should be doing both overtly and covertly on a regular basis. But I digress.

R.I.P., Shirley Temple Black

In light of the news regarding Detroit, I'm curious:

1. Will future cities try this to get out of paying pensions?
2. What does say about Michigan's attempt to put "managers" in charge of cities, instead of letting elected officials work things out?
3. How does the auto industry spin this? I mean, shouldn't they have been in the forefront to make sure that the city that made them an economic power didn't fail?

I have a few more, but this will do for now.
