06/03/2025 A LOOK BACK – POLITICAL COMEDY   Leave a comment

I really do try to avoid writing about politics and politicians. No matter what you write your going to piss off a great many people. I’ve always found politics to be a necessary evil but I avoid political discussions religiously and religious discussions politically. It can be a great source of humor which is it’s biggest selling point for me. I do miss the days of Marion Barry in DC and his constant stream of misstatements and BS. I prayed that he would eventually run for Congress and be elected because the shit-storm he could have caused would’ve had me laughing for years. In his honor I dedicate this post of some of his most incredibly stupid quotes and nose-sniffing behavior. It makes me very nostalgic.

  • “I’m providing you with a copulation of answers to several questions raised . . .”
  • “The contagious people of Washington have stood firm against diversity during this long period of increment weather.”
  • “I promise you a police car on every sidewalk.”
  • “I am making this trip to Africa because Washington is an international city, just like Tokyo, Nigeria, or Israel. As mayor, I am an international symbol. Can you deny that to Africa?”

  • “What we have here is an egregemous miscarriagement of taxitude.”
  • “Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country.”
  • “There are two kinds of truth. There are real truths, and there are made-up truths.”
  • I am a great mayor, I am an outstanding Christian man, I am an intelligent man, I am a deeply educated man, and I’m a humble man.”

“What right does Congress have to go around

making laws just because they deem it necessary.”
