OK boppers, what a late night show we have on tap. In the Link-O-Rama we have two new playas for you to explore. First, The Ypsi News by Steve Pierce, Ypsi's hometown newspaper on your computer screen, dig? Secondly, the rock and roll crew begged, the skiffle fans wrote letters, the hard rockers waved their golden locks and the punks gobbed, so we're putting up the link to The Ypsitucky Colonels. It was the gobbing that did it.
Still no change in ranking from the salacious post but we'll give it time. It's science after all.
As of YCD press time, of 10:48pm, ONLY the following schools in Washtenaw County have preemptively closed for tomorrow:
SPIRITUS SANCTUS JOY
SPIRITUS SANCTUS PLYMOUTH
SUMMERS-KNOLL SCHOOL
Which brings us to the YCD News Desk with tomorrow morning's commute--Stupid bad. So stupid bad in fact we're not even taking the Ypsi City Desk news copter out tomorrow. Stay home. Sleep, make it a three day weekend. Watch an old 'Thin Man' movie.
Time for Ypsilanti, After Dark

Our gal in Germany, Andrea Ypsilanti leads her charges to victory!
She helped her party give a huge setback to German Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservative Christian Democrats.
From Euro Newswires:
"But it is now clear that many voters felt uncomfortable with the CDU's hardline rhetoric and they delivered a severe blow to Chancellor Merkel's party, the BBC's correspondent says.
The SPD's Hesse leader, Andrea Ypsilanti, had appealed to left-wing voters during her campaign with calls for a national minimum wage and better schools.
"We fought for a different political culture, and we won," she said after the results were announced.
The balance of power in Hesse now lies with the smaller parties, the Greens, the liberal FDP and the Left Party and it is still not clear who will be able to form a coalition government."

OK, Johnny is gonna try a little scientific/blogging experiment
He wants to see if the SPLOGS (SPAM blogs) that search via bots for certain keywords will actually raise YCD's Technorati 'Authority ranking' (it's all technical garbage even Johnny doesn't understand) by putting certain phrases and keywords into his post.
The rest of this post will act like an electronic petrie dish. Feel free to go read something more informative and important but we WILL let you all know the results.
Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Heath Ledger, Hollywood star, American Idol, scandal, sex, lewd, Britney Spears, police, legal, law, sultry, steamy, starlet, Jessica Alba, Reese Witherspoon, Angelia Jolie, Jennifer Aniston, Jamie Lynn Spears, Tyra Banks
Johnny busted Crate and Barrel once when they told him they NEVER sold their customer info. So when he filled out the paperwork, he put down 'DR.' in front of his name. Sure enough, all kinds of catalogs arrived within a month addressed to Dr. Blankity Blank

Here now your Huron Valley Winter Storm Update
The snow is expected to begin around 1am tonight with 2-4" overnight. Then around 7am tomorrow we'll perhaps start with ice and wind up with ANOTHER 4-6" of snow by 7pm.
YCD really thinks that this weather report on TV last night on this building storm was a BIT MUCH don't you think?

1983 murder of Laura McBride has been solved and the idiot responsible found GUILTY
In a bench trial, Washtenaw Circuit Judge Donald E. Shelton said he didn't believe Jimmy Green's claim he had consentual sex with Ms. McBride. McBride was a 26-year-old EMU student and Air Force vet when her body was found on a path along the Huron River in Ypsilanti on May 23, 1983.
YCD will save you the terrible details but Jimmy Green did a number on her. Now we can only hope fate does a number on Green, a quality human being ALREADY serving a life sentence for rape. His new conviction means this turd will never be eligible for parole.
YCD is glad this chapter, one of our more infamous ones in city history, can now be put bed.

Murder in Saline appears to have been solved
And police say they have a confession. 62 year old Robert Green was killed in his home Saturday in Saline according to police by his nephew Jason Grondon, 33 of Ypsilanti. Grondon was arraigned via the Washtenaw County Jail. He stood mute to an open murder charge.
Grondon's relatives say he has had contacted Mr. Green quite often and had a "substantial" drug problem.

Johnny is very happy right now he does not run the "Detroit City Desk"
His hands would be very tired and his eyes would be bleeding.
