Only in Detroit...

...does it take 19 days to sell a house with a list price of $1. It sold for $65,000 two years ago. Looters took everything including the kitchen sink and the boards covering the window openings. It cost the bank $10,000 to unload the house and close the deal.

....does the mayor of the city need a judge's permission to take off his tether and attend the Democrat National Convention. If he actually makes it to Denver, I don't think we'll find many more photo ops with Obama.


...Do over 30,000 people get stuck in traffic, on purpose, and call it a "Dream Cruise." There has to be some fun in this depressed town.
