 c mon man detroit i m starting a new feature on this blog called c mon man monday this is based on my favorite feature of espn s monday night countdown where players who do stupid thing are called out by the commentators so i am going to do it with politics and my inaugural post is for the voters of detroit it s usually not a good idea to overgeneralize especially in politics but i m going to do it anyways the majority of voters in detroit are not capable of making rational decisions regarding the future of their city and certainly not about their state strong words right well here is the proof behind my bold statement  among the new group of state lawmakers to emerge from election day on tuesday is brian banks who has been convicted eight times for felonies involving bad checks and credit card fraud the eighttime convict beat the republican he was white can i mention that by a margin of 2 to 1 i m actually surprised it was that close and a white republican in detroit i didn t even know there were any shall we speculate i m not supposed to do that either that conservatively 99 of these people also voted for obama yes let s speculate and how many of those people that voted for mr banks the excon are unable to read after all according to a detroit regional workforce fund study  47 of detroit adults are illiterate so in order to vote i would guess that they just saw an o at the beginning of b hussein obama s last name or poll workers taped nickels next to his name so detroit voters could figure out which box to check to everyone in detroit literate and illiterate for electing a convict to the state house of representatives hellip c mon man
