In this regard, downtown Detroit, including its cultural, entertainment and recreational amenities, is an asset that currently falls well short of its potential.

The greatest risk is if the situation at Delphi doesn't work itself out. An organized or wildcat strike would have a great impact on General Motors and make those potholes out there much wider and deeper.

It will be swamped by the job losses that come out of Ford, GM or Delphi. Theoretically, everybody would say it's got to have a negative effect, but in the end it's going to be such a small effect most people wouldn't notice.

All of this is going to take time. There's going to be a lot of pain for a lot of people.

I like going crazy. And not just for art - I like extremes in general.

I truly love 'Gangnam Style.' I guess it's a meme. I feel like it's one of the few times where the meme and the quality combines nicely.
