Does anybody happen to have an Everlasting Gobstopper handy? Mayor Wonka and the Chocolate City Wednesday, January 18, 2006 Chris Rose

I wake up in the Chocolate City mad as hell.

It's like this: I'm supposed to be on vacation this week, cooling my heels, and then our mayor, Willy Wonka, loses his grip in public again and that's hardly headline news in and of itself, but this time he really lets one go.

I mean, he really gasses the place up, if you know what I mean. Now, how am I supposed to sit this one out?

First thing I do, I follow the mayor's lead and call Martin Luther King Jr. Of course, it takes a while to get through because he died in 1968 so he still has one of those avocado green rotary dial phones on his kitchen counter and no call-waiting.

As you might imagine, his line was pretty tied up Tuesday morning.

"King!" I holler when I finally reach him. "What in blazes are you thinking? You're writing speeches for Wonka, and the best you can come up with is 'Chocolate City'? Meet me at CC's Coffee House, bruh. Pronto. We gotta talk."

"I'm tired," he complains. "I had a big day yesterday."

"We all had a big day yesterday, King," I tell him. "Eleven o'clock. Be there."

Then I call God.

Nagin talks to God = ha ha, ho ho, chocolate city, didn't really mean it, etc.

Bush talks to God = THEOCRACY! MAN THE LIFEBOATS! IMPEACH THE JESUS FREAK! SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE!

Get the picture?

"Gotta vamoose, bruh!" He says. "Been real, but there's mucho work to be done in the Chocolate City. Hasta la vista." Silence again. "All right, I'll take the bait," I tell him. "What's with all the gringo lingo?" He looks at me like I'm crazy. He reaches into his wallet, grabs a card and hands me one before he rolls out the door. The card, it says: "God & Sons Roofing. Reasonable Rates. Fully Insured. Habla Español."

I read this article in the paper yesterday. I about spit out my coffee when I got to this part.

When I was having my roof replaced, both of my next door neighbors were having theirs done at the same time. Two out of the three houses had Mexican roofers. You've got to be down here to really appreciate that line. LOL.
