The Rev. Jesse Jackson came to Detroit last weekend pushing green jobs for the U.S. economy. On Monday, the Cadillac Escalade carrying him around the city was stolen and stripped. Does building replacement $1000 rims count as "green jobs?"
Jackson came to Detroit as part of UAW President Bob King's "Jobs, Justice and Peace" march on Sunday, which drew about 5,000 people to a combination protest and Democratic Party spirit parade.
A day after the rally, the 2009 Cadillac Escalade SUV that Jackson used to get around Detroit went missing from a parking lot near his hotel. According to WXYZ-TV, the SUV was later found abandoned, with the window busted and its wheels gone, similar to the jacking of a SUV used by Detroit Mayor Dave Bing's security.

I think, but not sure, that he's the head of the UAW.

Auto theft is a Detroit hobby, or so I’m told.

I saw the Rev. on some cable news show today. Honestly, I need sub-titles to know what the man is saying.

“Honestly, I need sub-titles to know what the man is saying.”
I know more Spanish than I do Ebonics. So we are in the same boat.

“Stolen” is such a racist word.
It was “redistributed”.
