It’s Not Just ESSCA Anymore

There’s a revolution going on! Alert reader Mike sent in a link to Marc Fisher’s Wednesday column that I totally missed. And after likening ESSCA to the Soviet Nomenklatura on this blog, here’s the headline: (wait for it… wait for it…)

The Iron Fist Of Cleveland Park’s Politburo

Are you kidding me? This is AWESOME! The entire board is threatened with replacement, and they enact an emergency to postpone the elections? I really didn’t want to run for an ESSCA leadership position anymore, but I think now I do. This would be beautiful. And I could see ESSCA doing the exact same thing.

The last paragraph of Marc’s column simply says this:

This one’s far from over, but when the NIMBYs start waging their battles through Soviet means, it can’t be long before the forces of progress prevail.

Have a great weekend, folks!

As if “Silver Springs” wasn’t enough, we’re now being incorrectly referred to by CrimeReports.com. If you search for our area to get a report, you’ll see an attribution for the information at the lower left side of the page:

I’m not personally familiar with the section of Montgomery County that’s part of the District of Columbia, but evidently we have a police force on patrol there. Somehow, there’s a MoCoWaDiCo joke in there, but I’m straining to find it.

Thanks to Bruce for the heads up.
