    Dateline Detroit: In it’s bid to not be out done Detroit regains the title as America’s most dangerous city from underdog St. Louis. Detroit hip-hop Mayor Qwame Kilpatrik in a counter PR measure deploys the National Guard to Detroit’s playgrounds to ensure at least someone uses the playground equipment before it is stolen for scrap metal.

    With the continued improvement in security, US troops are being seconded to schools as crossing guards and playground monitors.

    Just think Bill, if we were on a UN detail we could get some of that.

    Since Al Qaeda won’t come out and play…
