GO WEST, young man, go west. Or... South East Tennessee is very pleasant........

I have no problem with the people of Detroit going to Tennessee....

As long as they stay there and not continue west.

Go West, Young Man! It was just a refrain of John B. L. Soule, NOT Horace Greeley, NOT to be taken seriously.

Unless they are conservative, we don’t WANT THEM.

I don't like the term death spiral. But Detroit is in a downward spiral - Bruce Bennett, attorney representing Detroit as it tries to emerge from bankruptcy “I don’t like the term 'death spiral,'” Bruce Bennett, an attorney representing the city, said in court Tuesday. “But Detroit is in a downward spiral.”

You can say that again.

I thought Chief Justice John Roberts already declared that it was not the job of judges to rescue people from their political consequences.

NYC won’t be much better; the whole northeast is in bad shape. On top of that, about 1/3 of our casino workers got laid off...

No mention here of the massive land/property purchases by Chinese. It is just getting restructured.
