Here’s a fun, revealing fact:  The cities of Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Youngstown, Detroit, Toledo, Flint, Dayton, Canton have had a total of fifty-seven mayors since 1970*.

All but nine have been Democrats.

Not one mention in the two page article of the possibility that the damn thing sunk.  Just whispers about “secret cargo”, piracy, and other BS.
