Running for mayor of DC is like running for mayor of Ronald McDonaldland, and about as important. At least Mayor McCheese has a sash.
I live in the Maryland/DC ‘burbs. The DC government is crippled, having to rely on the federal government for funding they don’t get through taxes. Since they have no congressional representatives (except that pathetic “Shadow Senator” position–basically a glorified lobbyist), they’re stuck with whatever Congress decides to give.
A superhero would go nuts as the mayor of DC. DC probably needs a supervillain.
At least a supervillain would be better than dealing with Marion Barry.
