What's Hot?: Kwame Kilpatrick and Anarchic Hand Syndrome

I'm proud to say that Detroit holds four out of the five top spots on Google Trends at this hour (2:25 p.m. EST), all thanks to our mayor, Kwame Kilpatrick, who will become the first Detroit mayor to be charged with a crime while in office.

The other spot goes to the search term, "anarchic hand syndrome," which is also known as the Dr. Strangelove syndrome. It's an unusual neurological disorder, a form of apraxia in which one of the sufferer's hands seems to take on a mind of its own...

Wait a second? Maybe that's not unrelated to our mayor. Maybe he'll be using that as a defense in his upcoming trial. Maybe Kwame will argue that he suffers from the Strangelove syndrome, and that he had no control over the hand that sent those sexy text messages to his former chief of staff, Christine Beatty.

Kwame: "Your honor. This hand has a mind of its own, and when it gets a hold of my BlackBerry, there's no telling what it will do."

OMG, I've read two of your blog posts and they are of similar keywords as a couple of my own within the last few weeks (McDonalds and Kwame the gangsta)! We must think alike - SCARY THOUGHT!

Are you from the metropolitan Detroit area, too??

Funny stuff!

Yes Kimba. I too am a Detroiter. And, funny thing, I once wrote about Kwame and McDonald's in the same post: http://giantpinkblog.blogspot.com/2005/05/exclusive-pink-blog-investigators.html

Maybe I should start a new blog that is just about Kwame and McDonald's. Any title suggestions? I'm thinking "The McKwame Blog" "McMayor Kilpatrick's Diary" ... thanks for stopping by.
