DEEETROIT DWELLING
Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, that dilettante of civic leadership, that infamous party animal and keeper of the Manoogian Mansion, that chosen and proclaimed symbol of Detroit, removed the diamond boulders from his earlobes, both right and left, and in a crisp white shirt and dark pinstriped zoot suit, explained why Detroit workers must face layoffs, 10% pay cuts, and city tax increases to stave off deficits and a possible State takeover. Gosh. I sure am glad I don’t have to vote in Detroit.
As a suburbanite, I, fool that I am, only stand in awe and watch as the new Casinos grow and the old established businesses crumble amid a city council focused on it's own feeding frenzy. Ya gotta love these self-serving greedy politicians.
As my co-worker Anne says, "Sarcasm is the Wit of Fools."
So true. So true.
