“keepin’ up the skeer...”
Maybe they could elect Jim Leyland as mayor.
Black racism has been around for a VERY long time; of course everyone knows blacks can't be racist.... /sarc
Every time I read about Detroit, I think of the stories about Rome circa 600 or 700 AD when the population shrunk to about 35,000. Entire sections of the city were grown over or inhabited by wild animals. People took bricks from the Collosseum to build houses. A great city turned into a ghost town. Same with Detroit only they didn’t experience waves of barbarian invasions.

Two Former Enron Advisers in One!
“Mr. Cantor’s critics have been quick to accuse him of hypocrisy, and with good reason. After all, he and his Republican colleagues showed no comparable interest in paying for the Bush administration’s huge unfunded initiatives. In particular, they did nothing to offset the cost of the Iraq war, which now stands at $800 billion and counting.”—Paul Krugman, New York Times, Sept. 2
“Should disaster aid, as a matter of sound public finance, be offset by immediate cuts in other spending? No. The time-honored principle, backed by economists right and left, is that temporary bursts of spending—which usually arise when there’s a war to fight, but can also arise from other causes, including financial crises and natural disasters—are a good reason to run temporary budget deficits.”—Krugman, same column
“Obama saw “a city that’s coming back” because he avoided the vast majority of the city, which has “been to heck” and remains there.”
This is typical of everything “O” does and thinks....because he is an ‘outsider’ in relation to America and American life.
As far as “O’s” failure/refusal to disavow Hoffa’s speech-only moments earlier and in the SAME venue, I can only say that these people have ALL forgotten that there are TWO parties in America.
It is how our system works. Remember???
——We are one nation. We are one people——
No, we are not.
We are a nation divided and at or on the brink of war. The whole northeast and the west coast strip are no longer America. They are sewers of utopian crap gone rancid. Till they are either gone of cleansed of the progressive disease, there will be no unity

Chuckle. It's been a while since I've read Taranto. Thanks for posting.
Young Obama traveled to his father's country to a tiny native village in Kenya
called Alego, where his stepmother still lives in the house where he grew up.
"When I become president, I'll turn superpower America into a Third World
backwater and make sure Americans live in hovels with dirt floors like this."
Obama’s made a lot of progress so far.
