Charles Pugh, president of the Detroit City Council, recently got into a Twar (that’s short for Twitter war, and my patent is pending) with an intern at Crain’s Automotive News. Pugh had been chided by a Detroit News writer because the council prez (that’s short for president) seemed to be more concerned with reducing his weight than reducing the city’s deficit. Pugh lost 60 pounds and then lost his cool after the intern dared to agree with the News writer. Pugh threatened to contact the intern’s boss. I used to work for Keith Crain and he didn’t seem to mind if I test drove $50,000 cars (and those are 1980s dollars) so I doubt he’d care about an intern’s innocent tweets. I’ll cut Pugh some slack. We’ve all gotten cranky after cutting back on eating, smoking or drinking. I’m feeling kind of irritable at just the thought of teetotalism (that’s long for sobriety).
