For decades now the City of Detroit has been sucking Michigan dry. From the riots of 1967 through the Coleman Young era to the current swamp of corruption that is the Mayor, the city council and the school system the citizens of Michigan have poured billions of bucks down into the black hole that swallows everything that gets near to it. It has now reached super-massive proportions.



The riots started as a protest against the corrupt police. Then Coleman made it clear to us suburbanites that he would welcome our money but then we were to get our white asses back out of town; it was The Mayor's town, and he would run it how and with who he wanted, and we weren't welcome. And the voters ate it up, 'cuz they kept sending him back downtown. Apparently sky-rocketing taxes, failing infrastructure, loss of services, white flight/Coleman's push, and nation-leading crime numbers were all right with the citizens.

Somewhere along the way the city got renamed the Murder City, too.

The liberal government and socialist mindset that has invaded Detroit and run it into the ground continues. The government is now itself so corrupt that the council is trying to evict the mayor while at the same time at least 4 council members are under FBI investigation for kickbacks on a sludge contract. Here, too. And the schools? Probably a nuclear blast would be the best thing.

When Michigan itself finally falls into the same black hole it will already find Detroit waiting with open and embracing arms. Jenny, Carl, Debbie, John and John and the rest of the idiots who represent Michigan in the great Sodoms on the Potomac and the Cedar can be proud of the disaster they have created out of this pleasant peninsula.

UPDATE: "It's not like Detroit didn't have ample warning...The word that keeps ringing in my head isn't "reckoning," first prominently used by author David Halberstam to describe Detroit's economic woe more than a generation ago. The word is "collapse," caused by a rotting from within that weakens until the outer shell can no longer be supported." The rest...

UPDATE II: The scientific term "black hole" refers to a star that has collapsed upon itself, creating something so dense and small that it does not have any physical properties besides a gravitational force so great that even light cannot escape its pull. That is what I was refering to by using the term because Detroit sucks everything in and nothing escapes. Even so, I was certainly aware that someone reading the blog may try to make it into some kind of racist statement. Nobody has, but there is a guy in Texas who thinks the term itself is racist here.
