Tweet of the Week: OMG! The Lions win! Also, Kiss rocks Cobo

Plan the Super Bowl parade now, my friends. It looks as if the Lions are well on their way to winning it all... right? Well, no... but they did win. And Twitter was abuzz with the Lions update and their road to the Super Bowl! (Super Bowl musings were a joke, by the way).

With Sunday's win in mind, @abmich reminds us just when the last time our little Lions won a football game: Absolute Michigan: Detroit Lions Win for the first time since December 23, 2007: In honor of .. http://bit.ly/UYqqc

@JeremyClagett eludes to a near two-year win drought as a possible sign of good things to come: Last time the Detroit Lions won a game was precisely
at the beginning of the recession. Is their win symbolic of the end of
the downturn?

Maybe all Detroit and the economy needed was to have the Lions win a football game. Who knows, maybe another win will create mass-transit, and another win might erase the deficit, and another win might right-size the city. In which case: GO LIONS!

And finally, from the slew of Lions tweets, is this tidbit from @TonyTescadero: LMAO!!! The headline in today's Washington Express paper, "Washington bails out Detroit yet again"

It's funny 'cause it's true.

Let's shift gears, away from football and toward grown men in makeup.

@lfwaterloo: Kiss at the Cobo Hall in Detroit - 26/Sep/2009 - Rock and roll all nite http://bit.ly/TdoJi

For those of you who weren't able to make it to KISS at Cobo, thank @Ifwaterloo for his one-minute, grainy, scratchy video of the boys in the face paint performing "Rock'n'Roll all night."

DPS have pulled out all the stops and are taking the its school campaign to the skies. However, as @ArellanoTweets tweets, a stunt like this has worked in other big cities: Love Detroit schools' skywriting campaign to get kids to school. Such campaigns in L.A. and other big cities have had strong success.

And finally, the Tweet of the Week is this from @CorrieKerr: I would hope that fixing the city of Detroit's ills actually could go a long way toward improving other cities in America.

Well, @CorrieKerr, if we can fix the problems here in Detroit, we can fix problems anywhere.
