Detroit, I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so. Dumbasses.
From my posting of 11/11/2005:

Open letter to the voters of Detroit.

Dear Detroit Voters,


Congratulations on re-electing a racist, isolationist, party boy as mayor. "Diamond" Kwame Kilpatrick should serve you well into your continued decline, while stuffing the pockets of his family and friends.

You don't need good relationships with the suburbs. Detroit can squeeze money from its own populace to fix its streets and pay for its police.

Stand on your platform and call us white trash drug addicts. Continue to accuse us of intentionally hurting Detroit. Say that we're not patronizing Detroit because we're a bunch of racist control-freaks that want to run the City of Detroit from Oakland County -- the tail wagging the dog.

Believe the garbage spewing from that lying hate monger. But we'll only remember that you, the residents, re-elected him.

Don't come crying to us when you want money to have Cobo Hall renovated.

Don't even think of asking for additional taxes and fees to pay for a downtown "rejuvination".

If my beloved Red Wings weren't in Joe Louis Arena, I'd never have any reason to go to Detroit again.


Sincerely,

A suburban Detroit southeast Michigan resident.
