JOHN KERRY

God i forgot how boring john kerry is. when he came on to announce he wasn't running for president i tried, i mean i really tried to listen. but dayum after about 5 minutes i decided to walk over to 6th street and count how many busses were sitting idle infront of sunrise academy.
i counted 10 busses. i ran into fellow travelers who were also so bored with kerry they were throwing out trash etc. it was really quite funny and nice outside.

The Yale project is progessing beautifully as is cityvista.

THE SAUDI ROYAL FAMILY

after next month it will be 4 months that i've serviced the flowers in the royal familys hotel presidential suite 3 X's a week, do you think they'll tip when they leave? :-) it's ok if they don't. my favorite Sunni bodyguard is a chubby chaser who visits my apartment already. LOL ;-X

so appreciate the line, " Ladies, this is the District of Columbia and if you commit a crime, I will arrest you."


I'm so not over winter...we have 1/2" powder granular and from the looks of the line at the Social Safeway this afternoon you'd a thunk we were in the midst of a blizzard. fun walking around Georgetown this afternoon before the sidewalk got frozen. everybody being cheery, civil and social.

also, wassup with the Democrat party? everybody announcing BEFORE the State of the Union so they can all file a reaction. dont you love the way howard dean is doing this? early and organized and BEFORE the Bush bashing begins. smart move Govenor. i havent a man/woman yet in the contest yet, i need to see where they are on my special interests first.

oh and miss sullivan is now at Atlantic Magazine. not that it makes much difference because he's just about irrelevant.

TOBY KEITH

his cd, 'White Trash with Money' is this weekends favorite.

AU REVOIR ART

just last halloween we were in drag at Cafe Milano having drinks with all sorts of celebrities including Mr. Art Buchwald(this year i gotta kiss from him). right until the very end, the man had an amazing sense of humor. sweet and precious. so, it's with a touch of sadness that he's gone onto the next level(UP!). 30 years ago i first met him in Vineyard Haven when they got a cottage next to my sister. gone but not forgotten, luv ya mon ami!

MLK

i was a teenager when MLK was killed. it was a SHOCK and it came just after RFK was gunned down in los angeles. it was the hot summer of 1968.

today we celebrate his life. i happen to be here at work in Georgetown, the college corner. lots of people buying flowers, purchasing coffee at the gay place across the street and doing yard work. it must be a citywide deal and perhaps the unusual weather has alot to do with it. for if it were a 'normal' winters day we'd be dodging the black ice.
instead, we're listening to shakira and walking around in pull overs.

mr king was a significant leader and today we salute him.

TIMI YURO

as you recall we were doing a survey of victim dependency songs last year. so here's one from the extreme past. I first heard it on the jukebox at the A-House Little Bar in Provincetown so, so many years ago. i laughed then and i'm still laughing ... and plus you get a great visual performance.

THE BEST:

TAKE OVER ...BUYER BEWARE

gary from the mail has some good questions:

"If the mayor and school board ran the schools, is there any reason to believe that schools would be rebuilt and repaired with any more speed and efficiency than the libraries? Is there any reason to believe that the school facilities would be maintained any better than our local parks and recreation facilities? Is there any reason to believe that the school bureaucracy would be any more responsive to the public than the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs? Is there any reason to believe that the Office of Procurement would manage school contracts any better and more honestly than it does other city contracts? Is there any reason to believe that vocational training would be handled any better than the vocational training done by the Department of Employment Services?"

fenty: fix the lights in the parks, enforce the laws THEN you have demonstrated a success.
fenty: your libraries are a mess and 5 are closed. fix them THEN propose to take over the school.

OVER THE HILL

stopped by Hamburger Mary's last night because of a birthday party for Lt Smith of MPD. over 50 people were there for dinner and drinks including some of the brass from 300 indiana avenue. great to see neighborhood activists and police laughing together.

LA VIDA ES UN CARNAVAL

SENATOR ELIZABETH DOLE IS GOING

to hell for all the shit she tried to pull during the last election cycle down in Tennessee. too bad she's good at playing the race card. maybe Leroy Thorpe and Mrs Dole have the same playbook.

SENATOR EDWARD M KENNEDY

To my favorite Senator and
the BEST Senator...
congratulations Mr. Chairman!
