A "situation" could be anything from an equipment malfunction to a fight between employees.

"Let's see. Michigan? Largest expatriate Muslim population in the country? Recent announcement on Islamist web sites that the 'well laid plans' are coming to fruition? NJ Coptic family slaughtered for revealing Muslim repression of Egyptian Christians? Nah...couldn't be...could it?"
I live in the Detroit area....our friends always talk about the high muslim population in our area and how we should all feel safer because the terrorists wouldn't hurt their own in the Detroit area. I don't know if I can believe that.

Could be sabotage. Maybe Homer plugged a john; could be why the 'state' was called (environmental issue) ...

Considering that muslim casualties are a byproduct in the attacks in Iraq, Israel, etc., I'm not surt I would believe it either.

Detroit (went for Kerry 108% to Bush's 40%) Take off the 0 next to the 4 for Bush, and you're almost right on the money.
Although it's closer to Toledo than Detroit.
