with 100% of precincts reporting...

delegate steve shannon has been re-elected to serve the 35th district in the virginia house of delegates! some of you know steve from our fairfield days, others may remember his stirring version of galatians 3:4-11 from the live production of "the union of erin and john". possibly you had the chance to meet steve at finkbowl VI, aka the first 'finkless' finkbowl. whatever the case, i hope you've had the chance to meet him, because he's a great guy who's going far, and you can say "i knew him when..."

steve's a politician who's in it for the right reasons: he has a mandate from a higher power to do all he can to make our world a better place. so far, the people of northern virginia seem to understand that, and continue to decide that he's the guy to represent them in richmond. good for them.

congrats, steve. if you ever need a campaign song, i can loan you that johnny gill cd you used to borrow: "steve shannon- he'll 'rub you the right way'!!" or maybe not.

In case anyone is curious, I have actually seen Johnny Gill live in concert. I saw him open up for Bell Biv Devoe at the Providence Civic Center in 1990 or 1991. On that same night, I also literally ran into Reggie Lewis, the last NBA player regularly to employ a bank shot (yes, Fink, I actually collided with him as we both were leaving the concert).
