Our neighborhood has enough to deal with. Now we'll have to deal with the former homeless? Whatever, we already have to deal with the gangs and the homeless guy who sleeps under the porch across the street, now they'll be more living here with a permanent address? I can't stand this. I'm going to MoCo where my taxes buy safe neighborhoods, diversity, and GREAT school districts. If I stay here any longer I just might go crazy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4401523208681336634.post-84529108034226979632008-11-25T16:16:00.000-05:002008-11-25T16:16:00.000-05:00Marion Barry said to the Washington Post:"I think ...Marion Barry said to the Washington Post:<BR/><BR/>"I think it is truly tragic when so many people are unable to afford a meal at thanksgiving due to the massive loss of jobs and the impact of a slow economy," Barry said in a statement announcing his program.

He is Marion Barry's protege'. This project ensures that Thomas will have a high concentration of loyal voters in his ward (Ward 5). <BR/><BR/>Look for Thomas to put on a show for the public and the press involving the distribution of free Thanksgiving turkeys inside this tenement once it is open for 'business'.<BR/><BR/>I feel sorry for the people in the ANC where this multi-generational mistake is located.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4401523208681336634.post-71979756489128259542008-11-22T07:39:00.000-05:002008-11-22T07:39:00.000-05:00Agreed about Harry Thomas... why Vicki Chambers su...Agreed about Harry Thomas... why Vicki Chambers supports him is baffling.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4401523208681336634.post-64642016789927358352008-11-22T00:49:00.000-05:002008-11-22T00:49:00.000-05:00Harry Thomas is an idiot (and a racist!
