the sheriff says 'boy, i'm gonna watch you die,' with nineteen minutes to go

Now that I have my acoustic guitar, I have no excuse not to create, and so to politics.

Everybody in the mayor's race is psycho in some way, it seems. Chaka Fattah wants to slap GPS tracking devices on elementary school kids' backpacks, in case they go missing. Mike Nutter wants curfews, and cops actively stopping and frisking people they think look suspicious. Tommy Knox thinks Harrisburg will fork over a couple hundred million in school funding if he asks nicely. (He could do that himself and cut out the middleman if he wanted.) Bob Brady wants to put armed cops in some schools. (Because that could never go wrong - they're police officers.) And Dwight Evans thinks he has a chance. Actually, he's probably my favorite, if for no other reason than he's single and it's tough for unmarried people to get elected, seems like. Because, like, he's not married, so how could he care about children?
