Tom
Mann may well be Washington D.C.'s Boswell, Jr. (if there's anyone who
has
documented the daily mundane goings-on in the nation's capitol the past
several
years (must be a half billion pics alone), or knows more about the
city's lore, step forward and be recognized.
Anyway, today this story about Sen. John Stennis being mugged and
shot
in the district. What's notable is the rather gentlemanly way, by
today's standards, the desperadoes treated the senator. Compare "Now we're going to shoot you anyway,"
with "We be smokin' your white ass
now anyway, chump." The city has gone to hell in a hand
basket.
Also of interest is a story about how Baltimore's Mayor Tommy
D'Aleasnadro Jr. tried to stop the construction of Dulles airport, and
this picture of him, his wife, and succubus daughter
Nancy with JFK.
