    Ha. no. I just liked mentioning something that makes lefties cringe. And no thank you on the 270/70 exchange. It's almost as bad as the Beltway of D.C.

    And we can start a pool as to how many 'loops' he can do before getting 'wasted' by a drive-by gangsta....

    Put me down for 1 3/4 circuits.

    It already is, thanks to the GM bailout.

    That abortion of the Constitution is now the basis for the Progressive's cry to save the Detroit civil servants pensions.

    California is in the same leaking boat, but I am not sure if the California Constitution prohibits amending their civil servant's pension plans.

    And here it goes, as predicted:

    "Aquilina issued a declaratory judgment that says the bankruptcy filing violated the Michigan Constitution.

    “In order to rectify his unauthorized and unconstitutional actions ... the Governor must (1) direct the Emergency Manager to immediately withdraw the Chapter 9 petition filed on July 18, and (2) not authorize any further Chapter 9 filing which threatens to diminish or impair accrued pension benefits,” she said in her order."

    I would like to see the Gentle Councilwoman's performance re-shown on main stream media news. She is one example of what is wrong in Detroit and other cities. Vote her out.

    Your right. I guess they will tax the profitable cities and fine companies that try to move out.
