Election Fun

Marion Barry gets elected again, and Ralphie Boy can't get on a state ballot.

When Barry dies, D.C. will suffer through a funeral the like it has never seen. Thought Reagan's was a huge? Uh-uh. It'll be like a combination of that and Harold Washington's.

The diversion last night while waiting for our friends at the D.C. Board of Elections and some other E-word to figure out how to count was to think of headlines the New York Post would use to announce Barry's victory.

Colleague offers, "THE VOTERS SET HIM UP."

I parry: "BARRY DEALS INCUMBENT HARSH BLOW."

"BARRY FIRES UP VOTERS," thrusts the colleague.

I dodge then feint with "FORMER MAYOR RESIN-EIGHTS WITH CONSTITUENTS."

And then we went back to work.

Bring it.

P.S. Ok, technically it was a primary, so there is still November, but come on. I don't even think Zombie Reagan could defeat Barry in Ward 8. Unless Argento were mayor.

Ralphie boy would do everyone a huge favor if he'd just disappear for 4 more years, so let's not get sentimental for him.

SCHWARTZ WINS.

I only hope this doesn't dismantle Republicans for Voldemort.

Dunno anyone who's getting sentimental over Ralphie except for the occasional patchouli wearing treefucker.

And what exactly is wrong with dendrophelia? Trees are our friends. Or not.
