"It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage, than the creation of a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institutions and merely lukewarm defenders in those who would gain by the new ones." Machiavelli

I'm about as good at retiring as Michael Jordan...
Wow. I love that Inside Politics. They really love to come out and rub the truth in your face. They don't care about who it will affect. Once someone loses an election, the gloves are off. And so they have some good Mike Brown quotes. Please use the comment section to come up with your best Mike Brown concession speech. Here is mine: So, this is it. The white man has finally taken over. I never thought i would see the day. I've been in office for 12 years representing the black man in the 3rd. I'm black. Really damn black. Blacker than Martin Luther King Jr. I'm so black, to make sure I didn't get too black, I had to get a white campaign manager. My white campaign manager helped me win votes by not making me the blackest man ever. He also helped me do whatever Mayor Jennings told me to do. He also helped win the vote of the one non black person in the 3rd. Yeah, I never knew there were white people in the third either, but once I found out I tried to get them to move. I use to go to their house and tell them that we didn't have any room for "The Man" to be living in the third. And, now, on this dark day, there is one more white man in the 3rd...Corey Ellis. He's white. White as a cockroach. Whiter than my homey Mayor Jennings. Whiter than rice. Definitely whiter than the Mayor's brother who helped me throw out the white poll watchers in the primary. Speaking of the primary. White is a primary color. You know I won the primary? Because Joe Bruno's white lawyers helped me win the primary. Lily white lawyers. They had crisp white collars on their shirts. Shit, the problem with the white man Corey Ellis is that he don't play ball. I won the primary, he stole the general election...that means we're 1 and 1. What ever happened to playing best 4 out of 7? If its good enough for Michael Jordan its good enough for me. Larry Bird might be able to win the 3 point contest but he would only play once. Like Corey Ellis. Corey Ellis is whiter than Larry Bird. And you know what Larry Bird was? "An elitist freak show led by lily-white hypocrites who rented a few black people." You think Robert Parish wanted to play with that whitey... wearing some damn leprechaun outfit? Hell no. Bird rented him. Cedric Maxwell? Rented. Did you know Bird's nickname was "lily"? Anyway, I'm getting tired...where is my cracker...uh...crackerjack campaign manager? Got to tell him to get me a moving van. You think i'm living here if i can't take advantage of these people? Hell no. I'm getting a place next to the golf course so I can be black like Tiger Woods. Got to get me some of those short pants they wear...
