Got a story that needs the satirical treatment?

We're always looking for the next great example of government efficiency, suspicious development timelines, or community drama that deserves our special brand of coverage.

What We're Looking For

  • Government Inefficiency: Projects that take years instead of months
  • Bizarre Council Decisions: The weirder, the better
  • Development Drama: Especially if someone mentions "economic development" with a straight face
  • Infrastructure Comedy: Roads, bridges, kayak launches that defy logic
  • Corporate Naming Disasters: Like Milan becoming Darana
  • Local Facebook Meltdowns: The comments section is our research department
  • Small Town Politics: Township drama, village beefs, county confusion

Where We Cover

Primary Coverage Area: Monroe County, Michigan

Also Accepting Tips From:

  • Surrounding counties (Lenawee, Washtenaw, Wayne)
  • The greater Southeast Michigan region
  • Honestly, anywhere if it's funny enough
  • We're not picky (we're totally not desperate)

What We DON'T Want

  • Personal attacks on private citizens
  • Unverified rumors (we mock reality, not fiction)
  • Anything actually competent (boring!)
  • Your neighbor's fence dispute (unless it went to council)
