The ninth will find all kind of rights hidden in the Constitution, but never the one plainly stated in the Second Amendment.

Election fraud at its best. Nursing home citizens received pre-marked absentee ballots which were supposed to be from "the dead".

Also, you just gotta love it when your hip-hop mayor kills a hooker.
Was the hooker part of the more than $200,000 in meals, massages and other luxuries he charged on his city credit card?

Looks like Warner's starting his campaign early.

I think so. There was a party at the Manoogian Mansion and his wife got into a fight with the hooker/lapdancer. 2 weeks later, they found the prosti dead.

Much to the chagrin of my very tall and built former boss, at a VIP party, I invited Kwame (also a very tall and gigantic man) to wrestle with my boss for drinks. Kwame said something about how he'd rather do something with somebody's big ol' booty. Ah...Detroit.

So does he behave that way because you encouraged him? Shame on you. (Shame on Detroit for reelecting him.)

It's no surprise. Detroit seems bent on self-destruction, and they're doing a pretty damn good job. If you thought Philly had that self-loathing thing down, they ain't got nothin' on Detroit. Many pride themselves on going against what others say. They refuse good advice. Detroit's like a little kid that if you told him it was cold outside and he should put on a jacket, he'd take off his shirt just to prove he doesn't have to listen to you and end up freezing.

Of course, there are lots of folks in Detroit that don't fall into this category as well. And when Dennis Archer was mayor, several held out some hope for the city.

I'm not sure that I can take full responsibility for his corrupt behavior. I was just drunk and thought it would be fun to watch two gigantic men wrestle at a VIP party. Yup, shame on the dead and the Alzheimer's patients who voted for him.
