Hey Folks!
2011 has truly jumped off and seems to be heading in a downward spiral FAST. After the celebration of the new mayor, the new GOP Congress strips DC of what little power we have to the disrespect of President Obama during the reading of the “abridged” U.S. Constitution. *smh* However, we did witness the wonderful redemption of Ted Williams, and unemployment numbers are down. I am rooting for Ted and every person out there doing the best they can to maintain. Maybe if some of these elected officials truly lived the principles of the Constitution with compassion and empathy rather than just reading them, they would really meet the needs of Americans. All in all, I am still keeping a positive attitude that we are going to make this a great year.
The weekend will be jumping off too. It is packed with some good events. Check it out!
The @ttic DC ushers in the new year with an artist who is more than a poet, more than a singer, more than an emcee, and a New Orleans native and visionary. Come experience the effortless grace of HBO Def Poet Sunni Patterson on January 7th at the city’s premier poetry venue and fulfill your need for good poetry at the first @ttic DC of 2011!
