Black Power

Lieutenant Colonel Allen West (US Army, Retired), is running for Congress in Florida's 22nd Congressional District. Florida 22 is a slice of the Atlantic coast of Palm Beach & Broward Counties, from Jupiter in the north, down through Boynton, Del Ray, and Boca Raton to Fort Lauderdale in Broward County. It's an odd district, including cinder-block houses with tin roofs and rusty cars in the yard as well as beachfront compounds for the super-rich. His rhetoric will scare the beachfront condo set into dropping their Mah Jong tiles and crapping in their Depends, while the rusty truck crowd will have to contend with voting for someone who "doesn't look like them." Our check is already in the mail. He is one uppity sonofabitch.
