Yeah, I thought he was a member of the Vegetarian Party. Sorry.
At least the AP puts the party identification in the middle or near the end of the story, sometimes, ocassionally, once in a while, whatever.

Not really necessary as 99% of the council is Demo. This clown used to bad mouth Bush all the time. So don't let the door hit you in the ass Anthony, good bye and good riddance.

Common, you know party affiliation is only pertinent if it’s a Republican. Then it will be boldly mentioned throughout the article.

In my mind, this is what happens when everyone of our politicians was a rich lawyer before entering their posts.
Maybe we should start electing farmers, business owners, teachers, etc...
