I was talking with my cousin, whose dad once ran for Congress and whose entire birth family are active Democrats. The subject of Kwame Kilpatrick came up and I happened to mention that one of the whistleblowing cops he fired was contemplating using some of the proceeds from their $8 million settlement/hush money to run against Kwame for mayor. Even though the ex-cop is a Democrat, my cousin started ranting about hypocritical Republicans.

Frankly, I was mystified because I hadn’t brought up partisan stuff. Maybe being a progressive makes you nuts.
