WASHINGTON - Police say former Washington Mayor Marion Barry has been arrested and charged with stalking a woman.

The United States Park Police said Barry, a current D.C. Council member, was arrested Saturday in Washington after a woman flagged down an officer and complained that Barry was stalking her.

Barry was charged with misdemeanor stalking and released.

A message left seeking comment from a spokeswoman for Barry wasn't immediately returned early Sunday.

Barry served four terms as mayor. In his third, he was videotaped in 1990 in a hotel room smoking crack cocaine in an FBI sting. He served six months in prison and in 1994 regained the mayor's office.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

It will be dismissed. He made an honest mistake. She looked just like his crack dealer.

Society will collapse with or without blacks, and once the rule of law breaks down, happy days will be here again, as far as lynching gays goes.

Then again, it might not even be necessary.  Once the supply of AIDS drugs disappears, most worthless elements should destroy themselves in a matter of years.

Of course. You want to tax black people, but give them no representation. You disgust me.

If they want to be represented, they should move somewhere else.

Besides, criminals don't deserve representation.

Wrong.  I've longed believe that rather than grant statehood, D.C. residents should be exempt from federal taxes.

Now that's just goofy.  They should neither be represented, nor be exempt from taxes.

Better yet, retrocede the inhabited portions of DC back to Maryland, and redefine the District of Colombia to include only the federal triangle, Mall, Congress, and White House (plus all the federal building adjacent to those areas).  Maryland would be entitled to another Congressman, and the former DC could just be a another congressional district.
