Cult of Personality?

[Wannaplan?]

This image of Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick from the City of Detroit is available on the City of Detroit website. Pretty effing massive, eh? Is this about ego or what? I don't recall former Mayor Dennis Archer having such a large image available on the City of Detroit website.

Perfect image quality to photoshop and use for demonstration posters.

Honestly, I think the earring is fine. I think Kwame represents an emerging generation in political leadership: the under 35 crowd, raised with hip-hop, a little more multicultural in perspective than his predecessors. Jeb Bush's son (I can't remember his name; he spoke at the 2000 GOP convention) might be a GOP counterpart of the same trend.

Do you mean the one who got caught boinking his teenage girlfriend in a mall parking lot a year or so back?

 

[Habanero]

he's got cute ears! But I think his wife dresses him, which is okay.

 

[Runner]

I guess he just wants everyone to see "the big picture".

I'd have to pass on the earring for an official photo, unless of course it was a crew photo of a pirate ship.

Holy Crap, I love the pirate nun

I was trying to tell some South Carolina friends of mine about her but they just looked at me with a blank stare - must not get the Catholic channel down back home in protastantland. Anyway I can't help but watch her, especially late at night after a few too many.
*Full of Grace, Full of Grace. Aarrrrrgh!*

that earring is all about the bling bling baby ..

This guy probably hangs out with Marion Barry on the weekends

 

[biscuit]

You gotta have the bling if you're going to be the young mayor of the mototr city.

We could ask him personally about the picture. It appears he, or a fan, hangs out here sometimes.

Marion Barry, no. Al Sharpton, maybe.

I bet he's like a young Willie Brown (from San Francisco).
