…in which The Kid tries to “bend it like Herblock”.
At the instigation of my old BBF and comrade Adam Eidinger at DCMJ, here’s a Herblock homage depicting DC’s special friends, US Reps. Andy Harris and Jason Chaffetz on the news that 60% of Americans surveyed now support legal marijuana (Gallup, October 2016), on the occasion of the April 24th Capitol Smoke-In.

As you may recall from this past spring, my longtime comrade and BBF (Best Bud Forever) Adam Eidinger, activist extraordinaire, was jailed for basically being disrespectful to a politician at a Congressional DC Oversight Committee hearing chaired by the pompous and pasty Jason Chaffetz.
Adam’s recent trial on this bogus charge ended in a mistrial last week, and a retrial has been scheduled for May 2nd.

This past week, at a Congressional Oversight (plantation masters) Committee meeting about to overturn a DC local law, my long-time BBF, comrade and DC freedom fighter Adam Eidinger was snatched from his seat by police, hustled out of the hall and placed under arrest. The charge is, for all intents and purposes, Giving A Dirty Look To A Politician — not joining an organized disruption, or jumping up during the proceedings — nothing conventionally “disorderly”, but basically just being there, with his Phrygian Cap and throwing a quick side-eye at DC’s new plantation overseer.
And so, it’s in honor and solidarity that I present this portrait of Adam, on the occasion of this bizarre and disturbing arrest.

Congratulations, DC! Your new plantation overseer — that is, the new chairman of the House Oversight Committee — is a Mormon with an injection-molded face, one Jason Chaffetz of Utah.
Seeing as how part of his job is getting in the way of the people of Washington, DC when they try and govern themselves, then perhaps he might be interested in such issues as traffic, parking, trash pickup, Metro subway fires, and that goddamn’ streetcar project that keeps falling behind schedule.
Join us as we take these and other grievances to our new colonial governor at his office in the Rayborn Building on March 17… won’t you?
