Dwayne,

I will not quote any of of the nonsense that you have typed. Clearly you have not been to Detroit in many years.

Many areas are no-go zones, for everybody not just White Christians. While I am impressed that you went to Greektown and you found it to be nice, did you not notice the overwhelming police presence? Perhaps you were too stoned. Jesus does not like reefer smokers.

Saying that your arguments impress ignorant people really doesn't make you sound that smart. Seriously, what brought you here? Is it just a coincidence that you decided to start posting in defence of a city that's notorious as a hotbed of bleepy electronic music and socialist plots against God? I didn't think so.

Some of you may not be aware of the desperate situation of Detroit. It is literally falling apart. Watch these videos for more information:

It is way funny. He actually dropped the "N" word in his State of the City speech the other night.

The scandals that the Detriot Mayor is facing shouldn't surprise anyone:

Sex Scandal and Possible Perjury Charges Aren't Slowing Down Detroit Mayor ... Yet

Thursday, March 13, 2008
DETROIT — Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick continues meeting with Detroit business leaders about his plans to move the city forward despite a text-messaging sex scandal and possible perjury charges that could remove him from office.

A day after meeting with three of the city's most prominent businessmen, Kilpatrick spoke Thursday morning to others at the Detroit Athletic Club.

The 15-minute speech reiterated portions of Tuesday's State of the City address in which Kilpatrick outlined his vision for improving Detroit neighborhoods, police protection, job training and finding employment for residents, mayoral spokeswoman Denise Tolliver said.

But a prosecutor's investigation into whether Kilpatrick will be charged with perjury for testimony during a whistle-blowers' trial and the furor over an agreement settling that lawsuit for $8.4 million has dogged his administration for nearly two months.

Racially charged statements Kilpatrick made during his State of the City also may have muddied the city's business waters.

Jason Vines, a senior vice president at Compuware Corp., says chief executive Peter Karmanos does not want the issue to stop Detroit's momentum.

"We support whomever is sitting in that mayoral chair if that person is moving the city forward," Vines said. "With this distraction and embarrassment for our city, you wonder if it could stop the momentum."

Karmanos attended Tuesday's address as he does for every State of the City, Vines added.

But there now is a "collective saddening" surrounding the current controversy, he said.

"There is no good outcome," he said. "We've made great progress, and much of that you can put in the win column for Mayor Kilpatrick."

Tolliver confirmed that Kilpatrick met Wednesday with Dave Bing, Doug Rothwell and James Nicholson. Bing is chair of the Bing Group. Rothwell is president of Detroit Renaissance, and Nicholson is president and chief executive of PVS Chemicals, Inc.

They discussed policy and development in the city, Tolliver said.

She denied published reports that Kilpatrick was criticized at that meeting for emotional, off-the-script remarks made near the end of Tuesday's address that included use of the "n-word" in describing calls and e-mails he has received since the text-messaging scandal first was reported.

Kilpatrick and former Chief of Staff Christine Beatty denied under oath in last summer's whistle-blowers' trial that they had a romantic relationship in 2002 and 2003. But excerpts of sexually explicit text messages left on Beatty's city-issued pager contradict their testimony.

Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy launched her investigation after the Detroit Free Press reported those text messages in January. Worthy said earlier this week that she expects to have a decision the week of March 24 on whether to charge both with perjury.

There’s a new place serving up extra large helpings in metro Detroit. Michigan’s first Fatburger restaurant opened on Monday and you had better bring you appetite. FOX 2’s Al Allen shows you what’s on the menu and what makes it so popular.

Brother Nobar, my thanks to you for posting this! You've inadvertently located one of my kitchen staff, Greezy, who has been missing since last week. I've been wondering where that buck had gotten himself off to, and his "wife" Sizzlean refuses to say a word even though I've used my largest baseball bat best efforts to persuade her to reveal his whereabouts.

Brother Bobby-Joe, if you can round up my "big boy" for me and bring him in relatively intact, I can promise you an appropriately-$ized reward. (Of course, if things don't work out that way, please just take what's left of him to Landover Christian Burials, Inc. You'll still be well compensated for your efforts.) Praise!

Forgive my ignorance, but isn't Detroit a city just north of Canada? I find it hard to keep track of these things sometimes.

Last time I checked Detroit was in Michigan. Which if I remember correctly is in the United States, which is SOUTH of Canada. (Excuse my ignorance if I'm wrong)

Maybe we should just cut that section off and concede it to the Canadians. They might be able to clean it up for us.

Thank you for posting those links, Brother Nobar.

I've always been fascinated by decaying ruins . . . Macchu Picchu, the Valley of the Kings, the temples at Luxor, Mesa Verde, Britney Spears, and now Detroit!

What does this have to do with urban decay or unemployment in Detroit? Rather than worrying about geography, shouldn't we, as Christians, be asking what we can do for the people of Detroit and other communities that are suffering?

Deuteronomy 15:11: For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.

It's worse than you think, my ignorant and innocent chinky ching chong friend. Since the poster you're replying to is a self-professed Satanist, we can safely assume that he's also a registered Democrat, in which case he wouldn't just be making a mistake, he would be deliberately spreading lies and untruths in order to create confusion.

Yes, in our land. No-one cares about foreigners to the north of Canada, so geography is very relevant.

I don't know SKG, do you live in Detriot? Maybe you could help them?

Or maybe you want to divert Landover's tithing allotment to that Godforsaken hellhole?

I was conceived in New York (at least, that's what I was told), but reside now in the San Francisco Bay Area. It's a nice place, Nobar, you ought to visit someday. I've never been to Detroit.

I'd guess that Landover's tithes are already dedicated to uses that don't have much to do with alleviating poverty, but, if your church wants to help Detroiters monetarily, that would be a wonderful thing. There are lots of things you can do to help that don't require a lot of money, too. Prayers, petitions to government, visiting Congresspersons and Senators, making social-action oriented phone calls, holding candle-light vigils, and hundreds more. For example, maybe you could link up with a sister church in the black Baptist community in Detroit for some consciousness raising and mutual prayer.

On second thought, you True Christians might be a little bit more than the Detroiters could take. Maybe you should stick with the candlelight vigils.

Believe it or not, Mr Stockingmad, a few of us are familiar with your town. If one can call it a town, overrun by slanteye chink students, political activists, homers and the homeless. It might surprise you to know that my own mother was living there, before she was Saved® right here on Landover Baptist from a false-christian church just like yours.

That was before I took her into my nice home in the big city across the Bay. After all, family will be family. Yessiree bob, Mr Stalingrad, Jesus certainly has been good to us. Has He been as good to you?

Mayoral drama distracts Detroit

Kilpatrick's troubles, publicly played out for months, are embarrassing distraction for city

Charlie LeDuff / The Detroit News

DETROIT -- There is a saying in the city that goes something like this: Detroit politics is always a floor show with never a cover charge.
Now, Kym Worthy, the Wayne County prosecutor, raises the curtain on the second act of what has become Detroit's penny opera. She is expected to announce this morning if she will charge Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick with perjury, conduct unbecoming a public official or any other crime in connection with his now-infamous text message turmoil.
Whatever Worthy decides, the announcement cannot come soon enough for many business leaders, residents and city employees who say that the industry of the city has ground to a halt while the distracted mayor spends his days tap-dancing through a minefield of his own making.
