“With a pimp daddy mayor, Kwame Kilpatrick, who dresses like a Gangsta and is involved in scandal after scandal, the city is the laughing stock. But, hey, the Mayor made an appearance on “Living Large,” a now-cancelled national hip-hop show. Thank you very little. Kilpatrick, whom I like to call Kwame the Kingpin, was suspected in the drivebuy shooting of “Strawberry,” a stripper who allegedly performed in the Mayoral Manoogian Mansion for “His Honor.” He used his 21-bodyguard posse of police officers to serve as his personal harem-recruiter and to ferret him to and from different girlfriends.”
A rising star in Democratic circles to be sure, at least a House member, maybe a Governor even...
One thing that has always surprised me about places like Detroit is “why” a Libertarian type though process never takes hold, the place sounds like a pit.
Libertarianism is alive and well in Detroit. As soon as it sinks-in, the individual moves to the suburbs.
Because there is only a very small group of people who make ALL of the decisions --- and they are a well educated group of political hanger-ons who maintain an address in Detroit (they sure as hell don't live there) and who all make large amounts of money (mostly under the table) by stealing government dollars at every opportunity.
Corruption is the soft underbelly of any political system and Detroit is by far the most politically corrupt system in this nation. It passed the tipping point when Colman Young became mayor and hasn't a prayer of recovering. New Orleans isn't even close to the corruption of Detroit, but no one will say so because it wouldn't be PC to do so.
The thieves there have a free pass.
