Welcome to the monkey house...
I didn't think it was possible, but the Detroit City Council and Kwame Kilpatrick have proven today how completely ineffectual they both are when it was announced that the Detroit Zoo will be closing. 150 zoo employees will be pink slipped because the council considers the zoo to be an "nonessential operation" and Kilpatrick waited until the 11th hour to present a proposal to the council that would save the institution. Apparently in the face of a $300 million deficit, culture is now considered to be nonessential in the city of Detroit. Seriously, how are you going to have a major metropolitan area without a zoo???
Most importantly, where's the sign-up list for spider-monkey adoption?

If I could vote who should govern the city of Detroit and was given the options of the current Detroit City Council and Hamas... I would lean towards Hamas. True, I have issues with Kwame, but a junior high student council could manage the city more maturely. For all y'all that don't get to hear about the crazy shinanigans that arise after ever council meeting... you don't know what you're missing.
