Citizen Video Cancels Contentious Shaw Meeting


IN THE DISTRICT, local Advisory Neighborhood Commissions are the lowest rung on the ladder of city politics. This video, shot last night at the meeting of ANC 2c at the United House of Prayer in Shaw demonstrates why. Shaw's neighborhood bloggers and others are indeed active and their blood's boiling.

  • This city has such a long and illustrious history of electing only the most ignorant, unfit and unqualified that I'm almost surprised this is considered news.

  • Reason #376 why ANCs are S-T-U-P-I-D.

  • Reason #377 why people who think ANCs are stupid should be sent back to Bowie/Fairfax.

  • Whatever- what entitles a bunch of nobody citizens who know nothing about government or business or THE LAW to dictate what goes on in commerce in this city? So ridiculous. Their input is more than justified but the power they are given over business in this city is absurd. Especially when you have people like this Doris Brooks running one - and running one that is for one of the most bourgeoning neighborhoods in the city. No wonder progress in Shaw has been slow with idiots like her running the community. Busybodies - all of them.
