The oft fedoraed Adrian Fenty. I only saw him from behind - I was rushing to work. Why, with the District’s high female:male ratio, he just might win on looks alone. It’s a shame, though, that I just finished reading a novel about an attractive young politicion who also decided to run for mayor of a major city while currently in office as an alderman. And he also shaved his head to coincide with his balding. Later, he was found to be deeply invovled in the city’s criminal underworld, and eventually hired an engineer to build murderous robots with which to conquor the world. And that man’s name was: _Lex Luthor!_ ---

Cool. About an hour ago, I was walking through a Starbucks and bumped into one of my city councilmembers having a chat with the local shoe-in candidate for state senate. ---

Did you rub his head? If I ever see him I’ll tell him he gets my vote if I can rub his head. It’s so shiny! Then I’ll tell him I live in Maryland! Ha! –Cliffy ---
