Help the LL Secret Santa!
This week, Loose Lips ran his Secret Santa column, resurrecting a tradition in which LL gives back to all those who have given him so much. Problem is, LL had to skip of lot of deserving folks in the Wilson Building and elsewhere, which has made for several unhappy politicos. All this week, LL's been going around, saying he'd make a "supplemental appropriation."
That's a job I'm pawning off on you, readers. Here's a selection of folks LL didn't have room in his stocking to bestow with gifts, but are probably deserving all the same. Let 'em have it in the comments:
- Ward 1 Councilmember Jim Graham
- Ward 2 Councilmember Jack Evans
- Ward 3 Councilmember Mary Cheh
- Ward 4 Councilmember Muriel Bowser
- Ward 6 Councilmember Tommy Wells
- Ward 7 Councilmember Yvette Alexander
- At-Large Councilmember Kwame Brown
- At-Large Councilmember Carol Schwartz
- Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development Neil Albert
- Fire Chief Dennis Rubin
- Fenty Communications Director Carrie Brooks
- Soon-to-be-former Attorney General Linda Singer
- Legendary tax thief Harriette Walters
- And anyone else is fair game, too...

Santa should give Ms. Brooks a day off...

Here's one for you.:
for Neil Albert - a big stick. Quiet as he is, he's the most powerful appointed person in town. He controls "all" of the administrations economic development projects now that the Anacostia Waterfront Development Corp. and National Capital Revitalization Corp. (NCRC) and the D.C. Schools have been folded into the mayor's office.

Mary Cheh has done more in a short period of time to ruin race relations in the District with her attack on African Americans and Latinos that will negatively impact upon them plus the poor: E.g. Pay day loans, Guardasil and more.
Double Dippin Jack Evans has done more to show all why it is his time to hit the road with his botched up West End deal.
Tommy Wells might be the most decent of the bunch.

Rees, you are a freakin idiot.

For Andre M. Johnson, Media Consultant/Communications Director for Council Member Marion S. Barry Jr.: A listed phone number and email address and, as he is a consultant and not an employee, even a web site.
Also, an award for getting a job as a Media Consultant/Communications Director without a listed phone number, email address, and web site.

For Cheh, I'd get her a lifetime subscription to the GW Law Alumni Directory so that she will never need to worry about finding any staffers.
For Wells, a permanent Gucci bikerack, with shower, toilet and massage table.
For Graham, a permanent supply of bow ties. During any alcohol-license related meetings, his bow tie will change colors based on his mood.
For Evans, an accounting firm that will balance his checkbook for him so that he doesn't need to do it on the dais during Council meetings.
For Bowser and Alexander, a committee they can chair. They are the only two Councilmembers who never get to be called "Madame Chair."
For Brown, valet service for his Benz and Escalade. No man rolling in those kinds of luxury cars should have to find parking on his own.
For Schwartz, some respect from her colleagues.
For Rees, a social life consisting of only a single online personality, a prohibition on emails and faxes, and at least 10 votes in the next Ward 3 council election.

For CM Graham Santa should bring him a sense of modesty and the ability to know when to say when and an understanding that it's not necessary to show up at every shooting/crime and shut down every bar but those on 18th Street (which he seems to love with a blind passion).

Of most recent, the number of people showing up to listen to speeches being made by Mayor Adrian Fenty is only 1/5th the size they were ten months ago.
When Mayor Fenty had his second birthday party where all were invited, only 1/5th of those who attended last year attended this year.
It is becoming painfully obvious that Fenty's charm has worn off and people are losing interest in all that he has to say, the U.S. Department of Justice distrusted him so much they purposely kept him in the dark over the DC OTR scandal [but that may be that he too is a possible target for future indictment as many of the properties he owns under assumed names may have received illegal tax refunds], and many have begun to see his ways as being that of a bully and tyrant backed and advised by a bully and tyrant, Peter J. (Popadapalous) Nickles.
Like all tyrants throughout history, Mayor Adrian Fenty will fall and the wheels of his downfall are already moving.
Mayor Fenty could learn from the mistakes of those he is imitating: E.g. Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Augusto Pinochet, Sadam Hussein, Daniel Ortega and so on.
As 2008 begins, voters will start to see the fraying of the Fenty Administration and by 2010, voters will have fully realized their mistake and be ready to rid themselves of Fenty and those members of the DC City Council who followed him blindly like mice in the Pied Piper of Hamelin.
Two years ago, I warned voters about Fenty, and I will not hide the fact that I have no respect for him because of the thefts he engaged in against the elderly (Two cases cited by the DC Court of Appeals) and two others that have not been fully investigated by the DC Bar Counsel.
The voters of DC elected another crook as it mayor and then we cannot understand why DC is the butt of jokes across the nation or why Congress won’t give us a serious shot at a vote.
