key to the city

did anyone else hear about the ceremony this week where they gave jerome bettis the key to the city of Detroit? it has only happened 3 times. the previous recipient was Saddam Hussein in 1980. they should probably just take Saddam's back now and give it to nook logan.

and i think saddam used to key as the saftey on his weapon of mass destruction.

Eh, the butcher, the bus; one is an unbelievably agile running back for his size, the other is an unbelievably cruel once-US-backed dictator, what's the difference?

He did however donate quarter million to the chaldean church in detroit, which is an iraqi-christian immigrant group. Sure there was another motive operative here, but motown at the time was hurtin so much that a q-mil building project in the inner-city must've felt like a god-send.

hah, my word verification of the day is xyvrgen -- like that was not on purpose
