Here is the start of a timeline of news stories on the Kilpatrick Administration that focus on their foul ups, bleeps, bloops, and blunders.

It was too much for me to continue. Please feel free to add if you have others....

Hmmm, I guess if people want a responsible government and point out scandal and flaw they are 'lynching.'

Mellodrama, you are just another one of the sheep. I'll be happy when this election is finished and you can get on with whatever it is you did before this October.

That said, this is why I am not voting for Kwame. Too many mishaps and let-downs.

Zulu, you deserve mad props for putting together such a detailed account of Mayor Kilpatrick's antics. Too bad voters won't have access to this information, in the voting booth, when they go to vote.
