If you need a little outlet for the pent up frustration of still not having voting rights, head down to the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol today for a teach-in on D.C. statehood. Hosted by the ACLU of the National Capital Area and the D.C. Statehood Green Party, among others, the teach-in will include speakers and musical performances. The list of speakers is long and distinguished, featuring Johnny Barnes of the ACLU, D.C. Shadow Senator Michael D. Brown, Council member Harry Thomas Jr. (D-Ward 5) and Council member Michael A. Brown (I-At Large). Musical performances will include Tabi Bonney, Rasi Caprice and Head-Roc. The event runs from 5:30 to 8 p.m.



Looks like it's time to dust off the old sewage trebuchet. And by "dust" I mean "hose."
wait a minute, did you just call harry thomas and michael brown "distinguished"? bwahahahahahahahahahahahahah!
The list of speakers is long and distinguished..
Correct on the first count, but only on April Fool's day would that list be called distinguished. These are the same hacks that we got tired of years ago. I can't believe both Michael Browns were available.
They should host a Reach-Around for Statehood instead of a Teach-In. Something us swingers can really 'get behind'. Am I right fellas?
I left something in the bathroom this morning that was "long and distinguished." We had corn last night!
Martin made a Top Gun reference!!
Can we do away with the misnomer about DC residents not having voting rights? DC residents don't have Congressional representation. Voting rights and Congressional representation belong to the same family, perhaps even genus, but they aren't the same species. Someone keeps electing Marion Barry, after all, and it sure ain't Marylanders.
If the Green Party is going to be there, is there a chance the Redhead with the "Your Mortgage is Not My Problem" sign going to be there?
If so, my head swins with thought of sweaty sex with my socks on.
How about a teach in to mitigate the horrific teaching that masquerades as instruction in this town? Has anyone else ever had the "pleasure" of interviewing a DCPS "graduate"? You can always spot the "gifted" students because their resumes aren't handwritten (although that surly attitude is a dead giveaway).
