Mr. T Officially Endorses...

  • Nov. 4th, 2008 at 12:01 AM
Mr T in DC

For President: Senator Barack Obama, of course. The only question in DC is will he break the 90% barrier?

For DC Council At-Large: Anyone but the Marion Barry-endorsed Michael Brown, whose robo-calls have hit us several times during the dinner hour. I'm leaning towards voting for Patrick Mara, the socially liberal (pro-gay marriage, pro-choice) Republican who lives around the corner here in Columbia Heights, who could be good for our neighborhood, and Kwame Brown for the other open seat. As you know, a certain number of seats on the Council are set aside for non-Democrats for some reason.

Shadow Senator and Shadow Representative: I'll vote for the incumbents in these largely meaningless symbolic offices.

ANC Representative: Rather than endorsing someone for our local ANC seat, I urge everyone within earshot to write in something like "none of the above". William Jordan, legendary local conspiracy theorist and listserv spammer is unfortunately running unopposed. He will join Frank Winstead as an example of what's wrong with the entire ANC system.

Idiot candidates...
In the Michael Brown offensive category, some joker named Calvin Gurley papered my neighborhood horrendously. I didn't even realize until today that he's running in Ward 4. I live in Ward 1. What a jackass. Too bad I can't not vote for him.

I didn't realize William Jordan is running for ANC. I have been reading his incoherent, moderately racist ramblings on the Ward 1 yahoo mailing list for years. When I say reading, I mean skipping, since I generally can't even begin to understand what he's talking about. That is pretty scary. Luckily that office has virtually no power, but as the Winstead situation shows, it is just enough power to make people's lives unpleasant at a micro level in the hands of a tool. Too bad nobody's running against him. I'd write in "Vermin Supreme."

But there is someone against ol' Forest Hills Frank this time isn't there?

Yes, William Jordan has been spamming the Yahoo listserv for years, and has recently branched out to the CH News Forum. His posts do have undercurrent of racial animosity, and he has little understanding of zoning/planning issues as far as I can tell. Hopefully someone will run against him next time around.
