Pick Up a Paper
In tomorrow’s City Paper, you’ll find:
- A cover profile of pickpocket hunter Cedric Mitchell by Huan Hsu. This Metro detective is the city’s top cop when it comes to catching artful dodgers—and he has some pretty strange relationships with some of them.
- In Loose Lips: James Jones details how Linda Cropp screwed up her smear of fellow mayoral candidate Adrian Fenty. Plus: Marion Barry throws his weight around a school-board race, and an item on Natwar Gadhi’s political donation habits.
- Jason Cherkis on the long-overdue overhaul of the city’s most notorious dump.
- In Young & Hungry: Anne Marson on the final days of San Marco, a too-often-overlooked example of a dying breed: the neighborhood Italian joint
- Plus Mark Jenkins on Scritti Politti’s new album and more film, music, and theater

I would bet all you faggots posting here could suck a golf ball through a garden hose.

Man, rees, it’s true…you are totally obsessed with gay sex.
August 20th, 2006 at 9:39 pm
It cannot be Rees as I saw him along Connecticut Avenue with some of his folk handing out his flier at 9PM.
August 20th, 2006 at 9:41 pm
I am beginning to believe that siome people are deliberately posting things here and saying it is Rees just to put doubts in our minds.
Well, tonight I am seeing that and will from this day forward not believe that Rees is doing this stuff but somebody who dislikes him is.

REES IS SMARTER THAN ALL OF YOU
Rees is mocking how stupid gays are.
Fact, it was the Republicans with some conservative Democrats who began the process of banning in 37 states same sex marriage after gays were so stupid to ask for it during a Republican presidency and Congress.
Fact, the heads of the Stein Democrats and GLAA are both Log Cabin Republicans which show how stupid they are to believe that Republican are on their side.
Rees is not against gays but just wanting to send all of you a message how stupid you are and how a handful has ruined it for everybody else. I am smart enough to see what he is up to.

The posts at 9:39, 9:41 and 9:52 were all made by Rees.
For those of you from the Y-group, check your “Eight Ways To Spot a Rees Alias Post” list. You’ll see why ;-)

Rees has been called a lot of things since he began plaguing the blogosphere and the Ward 3 race with his idiotic alias campaign.
Among them: juvenile, egomaniacal, grandiose, unbalanced, unprincipaled, vulgar, bigoted, incompetent, misogynistic, sociopathic. For starters.
But “smart?”
No one’s ever accused him of that. For obvious reasons.
August 20th, 2006 at 11:58 pm
I think Rees is smart. If it was his goal to irritate you then he is smart because he has achieved his goal.
Take a hike dude as you are dumber than a mule and allowed Rees to sucker you in.
August 21st, 2006 at 12:02 am
If your admitted goal is merely to “irritate” people, then you’re clearly too immature and insubstantial for the duties of legistlative politics. Being irritating is easy. Gaining people’s respect is much hard and a much more worthwhile endeavor.
One’s campaign prefigures one’s tenure. Thank god you’ll never have the latter.

Most of us do not care who gets elected as it never seems to benefit the average man and woman out there.
As for Rees spiiting in your faces, more power to him as you guys come across as a bunch of snobs with your heads up your asses.
August 21st, 2006 at 12:20 am
In other words, I like Rees and his cute way of telling your snobs how to go and fuck yourselves.
August 21st, 2006 at 12:23 am
Of course you do Rees. You’re the only person in Ward 3 who like you. You’re the only person who possibly -could-, you sad little vulgarian.
August 21st, 2006 at 12:25 am
Amen! Anyone But Rees, friends. Keep spreading the word. Anyone But Rees.
Go to sleep Rees. Referring to yourself in the third person only solidifies your reputation as a complete lunatic.
Night, all.
Snobbishly yours,
XDC

I wish, I was Rees and had his money but sadly, I am like the rest of you: Stupid and living from paycheck to paycheck.
August 21st, 2006 at 12:49 am
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
August 21st, 2006 at 12:56 am
I too want to be Rees so i can get a free government check, free housing and all the happy pills I want.
August 21st, 2006 at 12:57 am
In ward three race, what did Kathy Patterson ever do other than suck up to the politically correct jerks who like to preach but never put into action their words?
Kathy Patterson’s only claim to fame was to stand up to the DC Police in a very minor matter. Other than that, the courts over-turned all legislation she authored.
After twelve long years, we need someone who will do something for us other than to hold the hands of the politically correct phonies.
I am still waiting after four long years for the swimming pool at the John Wilson School to be fixed, and its delay is thanks to Kathy Patterson.

RAMESY SUSPECT ARRIVES IN LA.
August 21st, 2006 at 1:05 am
Rees is apparently all amped up and manic again tonight. One wonders how he has the energy to manage “18 or so dental clinics” with so little sleep every night?

Lame, like all your juvenile attempts at humor, Rees. Don’t quit your imaginary day job.
August 21st, 2006 at 2:59 am
How can Rees be posting this stuff when he has been in bed with your sister all night banging her brains out?

NONE OF THE WARD 3 CANDIDATES CAN FIX OUR SCHOOLS!
JONATHAN REES IS PROVING TO BE THE MOST HONEST AND SMARTEST OF THE WARD 3 CITY COUNCIL CANDIDATES. READ BELOW ONE OF HIS PUBLIC STATEMENTS SHOWING HOW ALL THE OTHER WARD 3 CANDIDATES HAVE LIED TO US ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF OUR SCHOOLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
———————————-
THE MAIL @ DCWATCH
DC Watch is read by 15,000 voters twice a week.
Dear Gary and Dorothy,
In (Themail) dated August 20, 2006, Pat Bitando made a very interesting point about the ward 3 race which I am one of the candidates.
Mrs. Bitando pointed out: ?We have all of the candidates in Ward 3 saying what they will do with the schools, when our Home Rule Charter puts the schools primarily in the hands of the Board of Education.? In other words, none of us can really affect what happens to our schools and even the one elected, is limited only to matters of funding not actual policy making.
Yet, my rivals like Bill Rice, Robert Gordon, Mary Cheh and two others have sunk a lot of money into campaign literature telling voters what they will do for our schools if elected, but failed to put a disclaimer at the bottom of their campaign literature stating that they would like to do the following but cannot do such because the DC Home Rule Act does not afford them as a member of our city council with that power.
Are all of these claims of what ?they? will do misleading voters, fraud or what?
My campaign website on the school issue says: ?Turning over total control of our schools to the DC City Council by seeking an amendment to the “DC Hole Rule Act” and build new schools not poorly remodeled ones. Also adding teacher aides in all classrooms, after school study halls with tutors, and a parent/teacher program to encourage and teach parents to give one hour a day to their childrens’ home work studies.
If my rivals did not know their limitations as to what they could or could not do about our schools if elected, and they have purposely mislead voters, how much misleading will they do to the ward 3 voters if elected?
Sincerely,
Jonathan R. Rees
Candidate, Ward 3 City Council

Wow. Aides in classrooms. Study halls. Parent-teacher programs.
What a visionary. ;-)
And by that way, Genius. All of those programs already exist in the DCPS.
August 21st, 2006 at 11:23 am
Rees isn’t a real, viable candidate. He’s just a nutcase (as deteremined by a court psychiatrist in 1992) with a keyboard and internet access.
He’s a troll - albeit one of the most malicious ones I’ve ever seen. But like all trolls, it’s best to just ignore him.
