Elections, Washington DC, Jack Schlossberg

Jack Schlossberg didn’t get elected to the congress. This had bothered him. And he confessed he had been holed up in his Massachusetts home. This is time I would like to say I found it unbelievable he didn’t get elected. I thought it was a sure fire thing since I read about his bid on the New York Times. Now that turned out to be not true. I thought about when I was in Washington DC, my friend, Willow, told me he had never heard of him. I was shocked and relieved. I thought everybody on the New York Times would be recognizable. That was clearly not the case. Willow hung out with me the entire night. He gave me a zyn pouch. I tried. And I threw up on the lawn. In the daytime I rested a little. And then I walked around in DC seeing different monuments and sculpture gardens. I remembered how the women on the ads in DC’s bus station looked like Jack Schlossberg’s sisters, Rose and Tatianna schlossberg. It must be hard for him to overcome the tragedy of one of them, Tatianna, passing. That made losing seem to have a better perspective. Etc.
