#1 Wallace, I believe, is dead and in his grave these many years...

In other words he still votes Democrat.

#2 To whom? Who wants to buy a piece of terrestrial moonscape?

Somebody looking to start a raccoon ranch?

Look, Jesse. Here's the deal. You can still vote for whoever you want. They just don't get to run the city. Why? Because the folks who have been doing it for the last half century have screwed the pooch so hard they've run up $12 billion in long term debt and unfunded pension liabilities. Yeah, billion with a 'b'. The city's assets have negative value. A third of the streetlights don't work and the cops have basically given up.

The party is over, man. The credit cards have been canceled. I don't see how anyone is going to fix this without bankruptcy. But sure as hell, the people currently playing the game can't do it.

If you had a plan to fix the mess, where was it last week? Or last year? The last 5 years? Go home, you 60s reject carpetbagger.

#3 Holy men wearing orange robes in Vietnam protested with MOGAS. It's sort of an "all in" deal, but something to consider Jesse.

#5 I am sure the long-term plan is for some sort of federal bailout. Afterall the fed borrows 12 billion every 12 hours to pay it's bills why not funnel a little more back to Detriot.

Hey where did all the GM and Chrysler money go in 2008?

#6 ...In a perfect world, Governor Snyder would stand up and say, "Ya know what? He's right. Reverend Jackson, YOU are now the emergency manager."

I do believe the Reverend Jackson would set a world land speed record getting away from there.

#8 No, If Jesse had the concession he'd demand a Million to start, then a reason to Quit(After one week) And he'd keep the million and state he's underpaid.

Nope, I DON't think much of him.
