RumnMilkshakes, —where do you get that he is Anacostia’s champion? He is an absentee councilman who has let business hit every other ward but his own.

The former mayor feels entitled. But, I feel like it’s not for what he could boast about (his SNCC membership in the 60’s; and the bullet he took in the 70’s), but because everything he has done - good or bad - has been a poke in the eye of the regular power brokers in DC. He’s Anacostia’s champion, but time has passed him by. The rest of us are working to improve the city and he’s still leaching off of his anti-establishment notoriety. Today, when you see him, you can see that he’s bewildered when young DC residents do not fawn over him.

If the Bus really hit it, no witness. I find it funny that Metro was strong armed into paying him for the work, and best part about it, they paid more than the work was actually done for.

What an arrogant man - just leaves his car wherever he damn well pleases. No wonder the bus hit him; he was probably parked crooked, facing the wrong way, blocking another car in!

is that the one that the mystery metrobus damaged? maybe someone from the CP should go out and double-check and make sure the body shop did a good job.
