The strange story about ousted county clerk Karen Spranger now involves fecal worms

If you were not following the deranged details surrounding Macomb County Clerk Karen Spranger's (R) firing, perhaps the words "fecal worms" will catch you up to speed.

Seven months ago, a judge ruled to remove Spanger from office following a federal whistleblower lawsuit filed by two of her aids after it was revealed that she had lied about her Macomb County residency while filing election paperwork. Now, the plot continues to thicken.

In the deposition transcripts, only now obtained by The Detroit Free Press, Spranger put forth a plan to create more office toilets for staff during building renovations by using fecal-eating worms in place of plumbing. Chief Deputy County Executive Mark Deldin told prosecuting attorney Jennifer Lord during the March hearing that Spranger unveiled the grand plans to "add bathrooms with no cost."

"She was going to give me a business card, which I did not take, of someone that she knew that could come in and talk to me about providing toilets in rooms where she wanted them, and just a hole in the ground, and you place fecal eating worms inside of this hole," Lord said. "No plumbing, and that's how you get more bathrooms."

So I went with both. I am also wondering if we feed those worms to republicans if they will eat all the shit that comes out of their mouths, before we have to hear it? I say it is worth a science experiment to find out.


I would also be interested if we put one in Donnie 2 scoops mouth if it would come out as an orange glow worm?

Is something you do if you want to live like Ted Kozinski or if you live too far from the city sewer line.
