Thanks Lilpup.

I checked out some of the related YouTube videos. The LeDuff interview with Monica. Is that guy for real? Was that a real interview?

Funny and sad at the same time.

LeDuff is half journalist, half crocked.
He and The News (not to mention the Freep) can't figure out if they're news or entertainment. IMO, LeDuff's a really talented dude who's squandering it.

LeDuff is the most exciting young journalist in Detroit. His humourous take on Detroit corruption really speaks to a younger audience.

not everyone thought having a local radio station guy dress up as Shrek was in good taste. The filmmaker has some pointed words at the merry mirth makers:

Well, wasn't that enlightening boys & girls?

In spite of all we've learned about city council's bad manners towards each other and alleged sludge-contract bribes. Mayoral cover-ups involving hotel sheets, and wrongful dismissal police lawsuits. Public schools edging towards state takeover.

Suburbanites cannot exercise their rights to free speech and protest under the 1st amendment to the Constitution without being harassed and called "crackers". Happy Independence Day.

If I could wave a magic wand, and divorce the suburbs from the city, I'll bet you a pretty house on a lake to a cookie that Detroit would fail miserably before the suburbs felt a pinch.

Exhibit A. are the clowns who made the video above. A couple of Kwame Stooges.

Gnome, I think the proper Internet term for that clip is "LOLwhut?" or "another kill for the Gods"

Kierra? Was that her name? That girl is headed for glory. She held her own with Monica, never wavered, spoke calmly and made her point. I can see her in a leadership role someday.

That 2nd video. I was OK with it until "Cracker" and motherf**ker f bombs and that guy comes on with a cigar hanging out of his mouth.

That interview with the kid was just stupid. But hey, we live in America and it is free speech.

I don't know - I kind of like Monica from what I have seen. My few snippets, I can't tell if she is part of the solution or part of the problem.

Roadmaster,

Perhaps that sums up the feeling of the city as a whole. I have my opinions which I don't want to taint you with. You are an interesting test case for the uninformed of the city due to your geographical proximity and lack of news.

Had this news broke a few weeks earlier, Dad would've had reason to live a little longer. McLame vs Tweedle-Dee or Tweedle-Dum wasn't enough to keep him going until 11/4/08.
