I voted for the guy who plays basketball best again today....
The Detroit Mayoral Primary was today

I voted for Dave Bing

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Bing

^snip^

David Bing (born November 24, 1943, in Washington, D.C.) is a retired American professional basketball player in the NBA, primarily for the Detroit Pistons from 1966 to 1975. An All-Star, he went on to spend two years with the Washington Bullets and one with the Boston Celtics before retiring at the conclusion of the 1977–1978 season. He is currently running to become mayor of Detroit.




I wonder if this could become a pattern with me? Just figure out who has the best game and elect him or her into office.

1. Having a Town Hall debate out on the "planks" sounds like fun.

2. I met Bing and Ron Behagen
outside a restaurant in Atlanta. I told Bing that I remembered when he jumped center for Syracuse and Behagen when they beat Luke Witte to a pulp. They both said to me that you are a real fan of Bball.

3. Graduated from Syracuse correct? I recall his interviews as
being above the regular athlete. Good Luck, Mr. Bing.

That poor city has had nothing but pain for a long time.
