Yes, <a href="http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20130322/METRO01/303220417/Jesse-Jackson-s-time-major-mass-civil-action-Detroit">Jesse Jackson paid a visit</a> to the former Paris of the West to bring his special brand of togetherness to the adoring masses of Detroit:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
<div>&quot;It's time for a major mass civil action in the city of Detroit,&quot; Jackson said in the auditorium of Detroit's Coleman A. Young Municipal Center amid wild applause. &quot;Detroit cannot be reduced to a rummage sale to the highest bidder.&quot;</div>
</blockquote>Amen, reverend! Of course, with political figures in the city regularly convicted of corruption, perhaps Detroit <em>can </em>be sold to the highest bidder, but only if they pay in cash. And speaking of corruption:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
<div>&quot;(The emergency manager law) has not only not served to repair cities' finances&hellip; but have sometimes worsened them,&quot; said [Rep. John] Conyers, who along with Rep. Gary Peters, D-Bloomfield Township, is asking the Government Accountability Office to investigate the impact of emergency managers in Michigan as the state prepares to take over Detroit's finances on Monday.</div>
</blockquote>The perhaps-honorable John Conyers is married to the definitely dishonorable Monica Conyers, ex-councilwoman, <a href="http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20130318/METRO01/303180326">back from &quot;Camp Cupcake&quot; because of corruption</a>. But she's completely honest now and working at a collision repair shop, so she's doing more honest work this week than her husband or Jesse Jackson have done in decades.<br />
<br />
In a related story, the line between politics and religion blurred when religious leaders in &quot;The D&quot; met in the King Solomon Baptist Church, firing up their constituents and random passers-by to oppose the possibility of financial sanity in their beloved, dysfunctional, corrupt, failed city. Just look at the <a href="http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20130323/METRO01/303230369">pictures of the excited crowd</a>, thrilled that they could live in the same squalid city they've had for most of their lifetime.<br />
<br />
Have you ever seen incompetence so powerful it was palpable? That is your Detroit city council, the laughingstock of governing bodies for decades. Common sense, be gone!<br />";s:6:"format";s:1:"2";}}}
