A fuller accounting of D.C. Mayor Vincent C. Gray’s firing of the city’s insurance commissioner came into view Monday as the mayor’s staff worked to head off any threat of a council probe of the firing.

Home Rule in DC is and always has been a sorry joke. Absent FedGov dumping billions into the City it would look like Detroit in short season
In the old days sea captains would hang those who didn’t toe the line from the yardarms of their ships to show others the results of their actions that displeased the Captain.
Today, the King of America uses fear and oppression to keep his subjects in line. This is a warning to others who just might say the wrong thing...that is the politically wrong thing...or worse yet THE TRUTH.
Government jobs... must have the mark of the beast, 666, to be employed...
