I just wanted to post these quotes from a Facebook group that I decided to leave ( I really needed to prune- I was in almost a hundred) but the quotes are too amazing and I never wanted to forget them and I'm sure you'll enjoy them as well.

"I am clearly more popular than Reagan. I am in my third term. Where's Reagan? Gone after two! Defeated by George Bush and Michael Dukakis no less." -- M. Barry, Mayor of Washington, DC
"The laws in this city are clearly racist. All laws are racist. The law of gravity is racist." -- M. Barry, Mayor of Washington, DC
"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?" -- M. Barry, Mayor of Washington, DC

From the group "Marion Barry is the Shit" and just remember this man was re-elected after getting caught on tape trying to buy crack- God Bless America. Seriously.
