The RNGC Caddyshackpocalypse
Bollards!
Is there an election or something next week? Well, you (or we should probably say, we) missed a key opportunity to educate ourselves about the American electoral system in Reston's own Fake Downtown Gritty Urban Core. The Greater Reston Arts Center just wrapped up an exhibit called "Campaign Re/Form," which promised "a provocative interpretation of a campaign office, where viewer participation will be solicited through interactive components." Alrighty then!
Fortunately for us, the virtual slough of despond and frenemy humblebrags museum that is Facebook is always open, and you can enjoy a fancy gallery of pictures from the exhibit, all without having to walk past the temptations of Uno's and various purveyors of frozen yogurt and fully constituted salads. Let's get ready to think!
But for real political art, look no further than this fancy redistricting map that has moved Reston from the provenance of lifetime Congressional incumbent Jim Moran to that of lifetime Congressional incumbent Gerry Connolley.
Now that took some creativity! We especially like the fist-shaped protrudance inside the Beltway. It looks like it's punching the more affluent parts of Falls Church in the gut.
It is a tad ironic. That shape congressional district is called a Gerrymander. Mr. Connolley?
ReplyDeleteMuch as I dislike Mr. Connolly, his gerrymandered district was carried out by Republicans at the state level. They wanted to put all the Democrats (or as many as they could) in one district so they could win more districts elsewhere.
DeleteCall it The Liberal Ghetto. Where else would you find Reston???
REMEMBER
ReplyDeleteVOTE REPUBLICAN ON ELECTION DAY
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Republican.
In early 1968 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. stood tall with New York City’s wealthiest white Central Park area penthouse owners when Donald Trump’s father threatened to redevelop Central Park into the world’s largest military-industrial hotel complex complete with a 100,000 square foot strip bar.
“Calling an illegal alien an undocumented immigrant is like calling a drug dealer an unlicensed pharmacist. What does that mean? It means that every rich white person in this country deserves an unobstructed view of a park or a golf course in their backyard. Here my words: you racist golf course owners have a moral duty to NEVER redevelop your golf courses as residential housing for the poor. The rich deserve their Own Private Idaho!” --- From a smackdown speech given by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. before the Private Golf Course Owners Association of America in February of 1968.
Today, if he were still alive, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. would be standing tall once again with the 1% rich white home owners whose backyard golf course views are being threatened by the racist owners of the Reston National Golf Course.
REMEMBER
DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. WAS A REPUBLICAN
REMEMBER
THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE RESTON NATIONAL GOLF COURSE IS THE CIVIL RIGHTS ISSUE OF OUR TIME
REMEMBER
IF THE RESTON NATIONAL GOLF COURSE IS REDEVELOPED PERHAPS AS MANY AS 8-12 TOP AMI (AREA MEDIAN INCOME) WHITE CHILDREN LIVING IN THE AREA OF THE GOLF COURSE WILL GROW UP WITHOUT EXPERIENCING AN UNOBSTRUCTED VIEW OF FUNNY LOOKING MEN WEARING FUNNY LOOKING GOLF PANTS CHASING FUNNY LOOKING LITTLE WHITE GOLF BALLS
REMEMBER
VOTE REPUBLICAN
SUPPORT THE 2nd EMANICIPATION OF AMERICA’S PRIVILEDGED 1% THAT SHOULD BY VIRTUE OF THEIR STATUS FOREVER ENJOY UNOBSTRUCTED BACKYARD VIEWS OF A GOLF COURSE
