He'd just finished a single term as a moderate Republican representing Michigan's 7th Congressional district, which includes Battle Creek. He'd already been that city's mayor, and a state senator.

Like Mardi Gras, Paczki Day is basically a final indulgent celebration before the start of the Catholic Lent period. More specifically, it's a celebration of the paczki (one [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=detroit.blogs.time.com&blog=9280242&post=2835&subd=timedetroit&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
