Best Actual *Good* Campaign Commercial: Bryan Weaver For D.C. Ward One
Here's a tour of the neighborhood -- good stuff and bad alike -- by Adams Morgan community organizer Bryan Weaver. It'sa ripoff ofa much funkier homage to a famous old Paul Wellstone spot, but Weaver worked for Wellstone so it's kosher ... unlike Weaver'skids, who appear to speakSpanish. Anyway, this wins on many levels.
Except, maybe, at the actual election level this fall, when Weaver's up against entrenched three-term councilman Jim Graham. But we've been sent links to this video by about a hundred people since the weekend -- including a bunch of reliable Wonkette operatives -- so maybe there's a "grassroots" thing. Plus so much good food to eat, everywhere, and bicycles parked outside bars on a hot day. And muggers. [ YouTube / Bryan Weaver ]
