Despite reports to the contrary, he’s back.

He’s thinner, and he’s tanner too.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. David Kircher is back on the street. I don’t know if his release has anything to do with Governor Granholm’s plan to cut Michigan’s prison population, but word around town is he got out of the joint sometime on Saturday. Rumor has it that while he’s awaiting his appeal, he’s free to hang out or shoot pool or even attend a City Council meeting. I even thought I saw him drinking a piña colada at Trader Vic’s, but I could just be confusing him with someone else. My mother said she saw him in Chinatown, but you can’t always trust your mother.

This is another rumor that I haven’t been able to independently verify either, but I’m told the first thing he did upon getting out of the big house is check this very web site to see what’s been happening in Ypsilanti.

How many other local web sites can claim they are the most popular blog among convicted felons? None, that’s how many.
