A MYSTICAL RUMMY

http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/A7A6A8C1-464A-40E9-911A-7124050983D9.htm

JOHN EDWARDS

won the debate last night, that's all i'm sayin.

I TOLD YOU SO

voters and citizens are getting sick and tired of it and soon the politicians will get the message. illegal aliens should NOT be granted drivers licences, pure and simple. hillary clinton, a smart lady had better change her position or she's handing the republicans a huge election gift. governor spitzer made a booboo last week and she's done it this week. this is a core value with americans who will view this as an effort to fast track citizenship for illegal aliens, this will alienate the reagan democrats who are just about to return home. also it's an insult to american labor. if illegals want to be american then let them go back to where they came from and apply legally.

WAITING FOR AN OIL CHANGE

yesterday while over in midcity, i dropped the bmw off for it's winter oil change and 30 point check...you know the ultimate driving machine and all that. while waiting i strolled on over to whole foods for some items i didn't really need. upon returning i was standing in the waiting room at AYT auto service near the front window at the corner of 14th and R and a woman i recognized walked by with a bunch of yellow pompom's purchased from Flower's on 14th.
it was one of two recently elected city council woman. the odd thing about it is that she had a plain clothed wired MPD officer with her. do all city council member have this? why is this person getting escorted by police? she isnt even barbara or jenna bush.

FOGGY BOTTOM CHURCH FIRE

Mariam's kitchen located at western Presbyterian at 25th and virginia nw across the street from the watergate complex and saudi arabian embassy was the scene of a suspicious fire. the IMF paid this church 100,000,000 dollars to move so they could demolish and build their beautiful new building. the church bought a small parcel and ruffled a few feathers in the community with the homeless feeding program that they brought with them from the old location.

LEGALIZE PROSTITUTION IN WASHINGTON DC

i've been seeing all these statistics about violent sexual assault, increases is transferring sexual diseases, collateral crime associated with the status quo like drugs and other petty crimes and it seems to me the socially responsible thing to do is to legalize it and tax it.

this works in europe so why not here in washington, dc?

i think it would be wonderful to have it in ward 3 in the glover park neighborhood along wisconsin avenue nw near the vespa dealer. valet parking is a must particularly in that neighborhood with the high profile clientele that would utilize these services. imagine the stream of thugs in escalades and diplomatic limousines impacting the neighborhood. think of the money generated for DC taxpayers relief. the reduction in crime over all. reduce the spread of diseases and fluff up that area of wisconsin avenue. bill clinton is already living on east whitehaven so he could use the existing indian path that cuts through glover park to west whitehaven.

GEORGETOWN COBBLESTONE STREETS AND TROLLY TRACKS

in the west village of georgetown the 3200, 3300 and 3400 blocks of O and P Streets NW are paved cobblestone with steel trolley tracks. last we heard P St would be paved in asphalt after the stones and steel removed and O St would remain as is. as i understand it, the folks on O St dont want it to become another zoom street to wisconsin avenue and the current materials have a calming effect without having speed humps. the debate continues.

update* john and elizabeth edwards sold their home on the 3300 block of P St.

SHAW INTERIM LIBRARY

two months ago mr archie williams stated at a public meeting in chinatown there was an electrical problem at the new modular interim library. we found out that the electric bill wasn't paid which complicated the hook up completion. next week it will have been 60 days since that latest excuse was given at the chinatown meeting.

please write mr williams today and ask him when the library will be in operation.
archie.williams@dc.gov
*update just received email from mr williams stating the library opened yesterday. 10/20/07

WILL YOU MAKE IT TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET ALIVE?

we need to force every city council member to get out of their cars and start crossing the streets like regular people do and deal with all these speeders talking on hand held phones and driving too fast then maybe they'd up the budget for MPD to have the officers to pull these drivers over.

FOGGY BOTTOM AND GOING DEEPER

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/18/AR2007101802298.html

this is about the underground exhibit center in front of the Lincoln memorial to the right where all those buses sit idle and emit those diesel fumes into the atmosphere. something needs to be done soon.

RUNNING OUT OF ROOM

georgetown university planners are finally speaking openly about what can be built out better to meet the demands of cultivating a growing predatory expansion program. no way in hell are the neighborhood activists going to allow a stadium off site. The law center has been in the east end of town for over a century, perhaps they need to look into buying a few more blocks over this way before they're priced out. the school of foreign service for example, could be over top of 395.http://www.thehoya.com/news/101907/news1.cfm

by the way, the average score for georgetown football this season is 14 and the opponents 40

HYDE SCREEN ON THE SCHOOLYARD

chris cline just said last nights Halloween movie was postponed due to bad weather and will be held next friday night. oct 26 which might be more fun actually.

FOGGY BOTTOM TRAFFIC JAM NEXT WEEK

around the triangle park in front of the the headquarters for the dept of interior will the the location shoot for a motion picture titled "Burn After Reading", a Gramercy Production Oct 25-29.

so when you head out for the watergate pastry, vera wang, watergate safeway, the kennedy center, the teddy roosevelt bridge, rock creek park drive(via virginia avenue) , route 66 via constitution avenue expect delays just before the albert einstein park and dont blame it on dick cheney's motorcade or bill and hillary clinton trying to get home this time, at least.
