Twice as amazing when you factor in the economy, the unemployment rate, poverty level, and Thursday was one of the hottest and most humid days so far this summer: yet somehow Jenny and Kwame were able to keep the city calm and peaceful throughout the entire blackout. How pathetic we are! What would our parents, who helped make the '67 riots such an historical event, think of our flacid performance from the other night? Come on people! We couldve at least overturned and burned a car or *something*! Why wait until the Tigers win the World Series!? We cant ride Rob "one man crimewave" Theaksons coat tails forever! Now get out there and pilage like it's going out of style, 'cuz according to elected officials, it just might be!
