So Kwame Kilpatrick, the youngest elected mayor of a major city has finally found his sense --- or maybe he was given an offer he couldn't resist --- and has stepped down from his throne, ummm, post. Instead of serving a possibly really long sentence for a series of unfortunate choices, he is supposedly going to serve a short sentence of about 120 days in jail followed by a 5 year probation. Kwame got off _easy_. He'd better thank God, his mama and whoever else he can think of, because the sharks were circling him. He set himself up and shouldn't blame anyone else for it. Wow! He and the city had so much potential. Kilpatrick could have been good for the city and turning around such a troubled city would have been such a political coup for him.
Lord. I really pray for the city of Detroit. Detroiters cannot afford to continue to be losers. The acting mayor is going to be Kenneth Cockrel Jr. whose father was a city leader and whose (step)mother is on the city council too. Talk about nepotism. I'm getting really sick and tired of the different monarchies, lords and ladies, running the city as if it's their personal fiefdom. Let's hope this one's got more sense. I mean, there are reports that there is a federal investigation into possible corruption in the city government. Well if you're going to clean house, now is just as good a time as any.
