Which political party has been in control of Detroit for at least two generations?

What CBS leaves out is that about 53% speak Arabic.

Other news from Mushganistan:

Before It's News

Quote:
This past Friday, an angry, hate-filled, unruly, mostly
Muslim mob
of several hundred people broke through
police barricades and rushed across the street toward
Pastor Terry Jones while he was speaking in front of
the Dearborn, Michigan City Hall. The mob was yelling
and screaming, making obscene gestures, holding
Korans, throwing shoes and water bottles at Pastor
Jones and his supporters.

Resembling riots in the Middle East, the mob waved
Palestinian and Lebanese flags while hurling profanities
in Arabic
and English at Jones and his group of
supporters.


Pardon me if I'm underwhelmed at the patriotism and
peace lovingness of this group.

Robocop was a product of a private corporation allied with a corrupt and ineffective Detroit municipal authority. Officer Murphy would agree with me that the democrats have destroyed the city he gave his life to protect.

Only Tuesdays with Morrie. Everything else he's written has been rubish, IMO. Also, didn't know he was from Detroit.
