That's how I made my mayoral choice. Who was the most likely to help me get rid of ray ray. I gotta protect my investment.

But for wahtever reason I keep having convos about the race for mayor. People who own and/or white want Fenty. Darkies who rent want Cropp. I was talking to some folks about why people love Murryon Burry so much. He gave kids some jobs back in like 88. But what people don't ask is: Where are those kids now?? Did those jobs, where it's reported the kids did and learned very little, encourage them to pursue higher education and/or financial stability?? After that summer job, did the kids and their parents not commit crimes?? Did the homicide rate decrease drastically?? I don’t live in DC.

We just appreciate the courtesy "reach around" the democrats give us when they're done. Not even so much as a hug from the republicans.
