Detroit's Long Municipal Nightmare is Over

Kwame, Kwame, Kwame. Let this be a lesson for you. If you become the mayor of a city it is a bad idea to have strippers over to the mayoral mansion, fire persons with knowledge of that party, get sued by those people, come to a $8.4 million settlement with those people, saddle the city with paying for that settlement without fully disclosing the fact, use city credit cards like you are playing Monopoly, sleep with your chief of staff, lie about sleeping with your chief of staff, use a city cell phone to send explicit text messages to your chief of staff/lover, hold a funeral for a racial slur then resurrect said racial slur in the state of the city address, and then assault people trying to serve court orders.

Here is how a mayor should act:


(I know this was when she was governor but I just had to post it. )

Now that Kwame has officially turned in his letter of resignation let just remind you of something another famous Michigander once said:

...Thomas Jefferson said the people are the only sure reliance for the
preservation of our liberty. And down the years, Abraham Lincoln renewed this
American article of faith asking, "Is there any better way or equal hope in the
world?"

Even though this is late in an election year, there is no way we can go
forward except together and no way anybody can win except by serving the
people's urgent needs. We cannot stand still or slip backwards. We must go
forward now together....

I believe that truth is the glue that holds government together, not only
our Government but civilization itself. That bond, though strained, is unbroken
at home and abroad.

In all my public and private acts as your President, I expect to follow
my instincts of openness and candor with full confidence that honesty is always
the best policy in the end.

My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over.

Give it up for Gerald Ford ladies and gentlemen.
