DC Blogs Noted:
Politics and Jury Duty
Direct Current
This writer has been on a roll this week with two very good posts. The first is about an encounter with Adrian Fenty, the DC councilman and mayora
l candidate. This particular post was quoted in the Washington Post Express. The second post includes some dry and sharp observations about jury duty. An excerpt from the latter:After being released from the courtroom back into the jury pool, it amazed me how so many people ranging from 25 to 65 years old could act like high school students. Throughout the afternoon, the growing chorus of whining about having to take a day out of their busy, busy schedules began to become unbearable.

IN 2006 (AND BEYOND) LET'S ELECT SUBSTANCE FOR MAYOR!
By Forgotten Washingtonian -
It never ceases to amaze me how every election year the same drone and dribble of news coverage and punditry about mayoral and council candidates gets discussed. Will there ever come a time when the REAL issues and concerns of everyday average hard working Washingtonians (long-timers and newcomers) get comprehensively addressed. After 38 years in DC, it appears that what matters is the money, moronic campaign rhetoric, irrelevant candidate statistics, and the same predictable stale candidate choices. To quote a lesser known, but highly engaged and articulate candidate, "D.C. is not an abbreviation for Dumb Citizens." Hopefully local news media, the usual cast of candidates, and blogs will raise the level of intelligent discussion to what really matters to most District residents: effective public safety, genuine affordable housing, much better schools, responsible spending of our tax money, and TRULY ACCOUNTABLE public officials. In the meantime, as quiet as it's kept, our REAL best bet for an intelligent, substantive, and capable mayoral candidate -- and a smart discussion of what really matters in our city -- may be found at the website of Dennis Moore. Dare to compare and become more aware. This year, on election day, you can't say "I didn't know!"
