Is there any Detroit official NOT named "Kwame?"

Kwame Kenyatta is following the path of Coleman Young. Shame that Nichols lost to the catfish.

Patterson said in a press conference that council members belong in a zoo, not deciding its fate.

The City of Royal Oak (the actual location of the "Detroit Zoo) or the County or State should sieze it, IMO. The kwamees have let it run down just like everything else they touch, and now one of the larger Zoos in the country is about to become indistinguishable from Detroit itself.

Truly amazing. The inmates have seized the asylum.

I can only imagine what Detroit will be like in 20 years when common-sense flight has caused all but the nost lazy, most corrupt, most animalistic and most brutal to be the only beings left.

Will it be a ghost town or a de-militarized zone?

Are you watching East St. Louis?
Are you watching Cincinnati?
Are you watching Cleveland?
Are you watching Houston?

Hurrican Katrina will prove to be a blessing in disguise that, in the long run, will have saved New Orleans.

The Detroit blacks have very stiff competition these days as far as playing the aggrieved, insulted victim. The cartoon rage of the Muhammadans is way ahead of them

Kwame Kenyatta. Is that his birth name, or heaven forfend, his Christian name?
Or is it some AKA that goes at the bottom of his rap sheet?
Or does his AKA go in the top line and his real name in the AKA line?

This has turned into wretched publicity for the Detroit city counsel, but I have to say that if I were on it, I'd have voted against the proposal, too.

The city of Detroit built the zoo, then rebuilt it after 696 went through it. The City funds the zoo almost entirely, with a little support from the State and a rinky-dink non-profit arm. Despite some snarky comments above, it's an excellent facility, one of the best in the country.

For some reason the mayor is getting off scott free on this. He gave the Counsel 48 hours to vote on a plan to give away the Zoo to a non-profit, then got on a plane for a trip to Africa.

Counsel will very likely vote to approve the plan, but want to examine the deal thoroughly, making sure it's in the best interest of Detroit. There's nothing wrong with that.

Brooks Patterson should STFU. Unless he's offering to bring money to the table, he has no say in the matter. His suggestion that the Counsel were animals who should be put in the zoo wasn't all that helpful.

Not forgetting that a few years ago there was an attempt at regionalization of the arts and zoo funding with a lousy .25 millage proposal. It went down in flames in the suburbs.

Grand Dragon? No big deal. Now if he was a Kleagle or an Exalted Cyclops, that would be serious.
