'Crack' in the System
Barry's Back
Well, with all the ugliness in politics at the presidential level it seems fitting the the voters of Ward 8 in Washington, DC have decided to return our former crack smoking mayor to the city council. A sad development for a city that has made great strides in the years since Marion Barry left office. As a new homeowner in the city, I hope that this doesn't mark a return to the horrible failure of his former mayorship.
Barry In, 3 D.C. Council Incumbents Out
Ex-Mayor Ousts Allen; Chavous, Brazil Also Lose
