Why not go even closer to home. In the 1980's, Wilson
Goode, the mayor of Philadelphia at the time, fire bombed
an entire city block to the ground because a group
called "Move" was not living up to the city sanitation
standards (they were raising goats in their apartment.) Philadelphia's always good for a bomb or two if Clinton
is looking for some easy targets.

A side benefit, fully exploited by Mr. Goode at the time,
is that you can then have the city hire your friend the
developer to rebuild the bombed-out block at something
like 10-20 times the normal going rate for housing
construction. That could certainly turn around the
fortunes of Whitewater Development.
