| #7 Kwame got burnt out on Detroit? Wanted to move on to somewhere that wasn't a Democrat-created Zimbabwe? |

| #6 He probably won't be out for long. Detroit Free Press... Kilpatrick is out of prison now, but some legal experts say it's only a matter of time before he'll be behind bars again. They contend the former Detroit mayor will have a tough time beating his pending federal public corruption case, which goes to trial in September 2012. Some say cutting a deal is his only option and could lead to a sentence of 10-12 years in prison. He faces 15-20 if he goes to trial and loses. "I do expect that Kilpatrick will take a plea," said public corruption expert and San Francisco law professor Wes Porter. "The charges are so wide-ranging that they suggest to a jury truly pervasive conduct -- bribery, extortion, obstruction of justice. ..."Kilpatrick represents the type of defendant that has dug such a hole for himself and his credibility, that (it) is very difficult to imagine that he could ever take the stand in his own defense or garner sympathy as a victim of potential government overreaching." |

| #5 Republicans, yes. But also numbers of non-Republican Blacks and Hispanics, the former rapidly being outnumbered by the latter and both lagging significantly behind Whites in income etc. Ripe for community organizing, perhaps. |

| #4 Texas...isn't that where those Republican people live? How odd the mayor of Detroit would choose to live among them. Or perhaps his wife insisted on moving somewhere sane... |

| #3 Good riddance, fucktard. Detroit deserves better. Not really. Detroit is a crap hole that has consistently voted for Liberals, and in doing so has received what they asked for. And while Grand Prairie may not be a garden spot (and I will tell you, it isn't) We here in the DFW Metroplex can without this trash Detroit. We are all full up with enough trash as it is. |
