Looking for a better mentor
Jarrett Maupin II is not supposed to be running for Phoenix City Council. He’s supposed to wait his turn and not buck the system that has placed a minority candidate into the District 8 seat for more than 30 years. He’s supposed to wait until the incumbent, Michael Johnson, is done. Just like Johnson waited for Cody Williams and Williams waited for Calvin Goode.
But Maupin, who turned 18 just before he filed his candidacy papers, is not doing what he’s supposed to do.
It is great that a young American is interested in politics.
Last month, he was with the Rev. Al Sharpton, his political mentor and hairdo inspiration, at a meeting with Cindy Sheehan, the Iraq war protester. Texas police arrested Maupin’s father for speeding away from that rally, a charge Maupin disputes.
But he needs a better mentor!

I’m not one to spread rumors, but it’s common knowledge around the Internets that Dasiy Cutter has taken a few days off in order to drive to the Dallas-Ft. Worth Airport and meet his new Russian mail-order bride.
I’d be happy to chip in if anybody was willing to get things organized. Does anybody know where they’re registered?
