The Community Card Review - I

Faldo’s thoughts on a Sunday Morning:

The list of the twenty worst American cities came out this week by the liberal media.
1. Cleveland, OH
2. Stockton, CA
3. Memphis, TN
4. Detroit, MI
5. Flint, MI
6. Miami, Fl
7. St. Louis, MO
8. Buffalo, NY
9. Canton, OH
10. Chicago, Il
11. Modesto, CA
12. Akron, OH
13. Kansas City, MO
14. Rockford, Il
15. Toledo, OH
16. New York, NY
17. Sacramento, CA
18. Youngstown, OH
19. Gary, IN
20. Philadelphia, PA

Poker requires careful analysis. Want to analyze this hand? Is there any continuity in this flop of cites – like, I don’t know – let’s say:
A. Strong union cites
B. Democrat controlled political landscape
C. Democrat governors
D. Corrupt public officials
E. High Taxes (A Democrat favorite fruit)

I see three of a kind and a pair – which equals a full house of misery and losses. Why do citizens keep voting for this hand?

Anybody following Detroit city politics lately? Actually, the attempted clean up of same?

Kwami Granholm-Kilpatrick (D)is living like a king in Texas. He is claiming he doesn’t have the bling to make payments on his $1 million fine he was charged as a plea bargain to get out of jail. Keep in mind, his actions cost the dead broke city $10 million for his trail alone.

His blatant parole violation, got him a reduced payment schedule and more time to come up the funds. No garnishing of wages, no seizure of property and no time back in the pokey.

Do you think we could get similar treatment in this situation?

Sam Riddle (D) is on trial for extortion, bribery demanding and perjury, while a member of the Monica Conyers (D) staff. Monica already pled guilty with a plea deal as the ring leader. Her front man pled not guilty and went to trial on seven counts.

He was found guilty on all seven counts be eleven of the twelve jurors. The lone hold out was an American who happens to be of African American descent. It is reported she refused to participate in deliberations, never defended her position on the case and routinely called her fellow jurors ‘racists’.

The trial was declared a mistrial, and the citizens of the city and state will have to spend money all over again for another trial. Did I mention that Sam Riddle is also an American who happens to be of African American descent?

The racism door is swinging the other way now - with a vengeance. Could this type of thing get it swinging back the other way?
