There are very few things that someone takes for granted in Washtenaw County, Michigan, other than the local belief Barack Hussein Obama is the undeniable Messiah and we must all be allowed to ingest whatever illegal drugs we can lay our hands on.

Another such article of faith is that all traffic around the Michigan Stadium (at Main and, uh, Stadium) instantly goes 2,000% berserk during a home game by the athletes posing as college students. I'm talking about the entire city goes nuts.

Now think of the traffic coming up January 1, for the ballyhooed 2014 Winter Classic hockey playoff between the saintly Detroit Pistons and those Canadian hooligans, the Maple Leafs. That will be at the U of M stadium. Hockey freaks may be fewer in number, but I predict this will fry traffic for ten miles.

Okay, enough preamble. Now comes this piece from the Windsor (Ontario) Star....

QuoteRob Ford may soon experience a pain that Windsorites know all too well: hassles at the Detroit border.

Toronto's embattled mayor has made it known that he wants to attend the NHL's 2014 Winter Classic game on Jan. 1, when his beloved Maple Leafs will face the Red Wings on outdoor ice.

But to make the trip to Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, Ford will have to get past U.S. Customs and Border Protection — something that could be complicated by his well-publicized admission of having smoked crack cocaine.

"It certainly could," said Windsor immigration lawyer Andrew Porter of border law specialists Hulka Porter.

"To put it in perspective: None of us Canadians have a right to enter the United States. It's always discretionary ... But Rob Ford is on record admitting to the use of narcotics. Those admissions can very well result in a U.S. CBP officer refusing him entry."

Porter pointed to a passage in Section 212 of the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act, which says that anyone who "admits having committed ... acts which constitute the essential elements of" a violation involving controlled substances — can be deemed inadmissible.

In other words, you don't need to have been convicted of a drug offence to be barred entry to the U.S. — They can refuse you at the border just because you've verbally admitted to illicit drug use.

How fast will Obama whip out the Golden Spoon E-Z Snort-Through Pass for him?....

You accidentally said 'Pistons'...  and no, he can't be let-in.  Obama'll be a bigger fool than he already is if he meddles.  Ford's an ostentatious ass.

Is he not showing that every day. Or is it just me.

  Wrong saintly bunch. Well, at least I remembered the town....

I think they will let him in. The Ann Arbor druggies and Obama's own cokespooners won't abide with anything so petty as a common RULE or anything.

Let me get this strait...

If you admit to having done drugs, you can't legally enter the U.S., but if you are a terrorist "refugee" ala the Boston Marathon Bombers, you will be welcomed with open arms?
