Just how corrupt is Detroit city government?
Is the promise from off-shore drilling for crude oil like buying a pig in a poke?

Quote worth remembering: U.S. Rep. John Dingell uses Oliver Cromwell to tell Detroit mayor to quit

Michigan's U.S. Rep. John Dingell meant Oliver Cromwell's quote from 1653 for Detroit's Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick who's up to his neck in felony charges.  The quote mentioned in today's Detroit Free Press from the longtime congressman:

  • "In my reading of history, I found a comment Oliver Cromwell made as he dissolved the Rump Parliament in 1653, and I think it would be good advice for the Mayor now:  'You have sat too long for any good you have been doing late.  Depart, I say . . ."
Voters might want to hang onto that quote as they prepare for the November general election.  They might be able to use it for other officials who have overstayed their welcome.
