Of course, now that Detroiters see what our leaders are capable of achieving we should learn to demand this type of treatment day-in and day-out.  It’s like having a roommate that only showers and cleans the house when their parents are visiting.  It’s time to grow up Detroit!

There’s something wrong with a certain sect of Detroiters.  I have no idea what it is but phrases like, “misery loves company,” and “gluttons for punishment” come to mind.
