This past Sunday’s Loudoun County insert in The Washington Post carried a front-page feature on the newly-minted chair of said county’s Board of Supervisors, Phyllis J. Randall. She says the usual things about wanting to give people “voices” and having an “open door,” and of course gratuitous remarks about being African American. (To be fair it seemed to be in response to a leading question, but those are the questions you laugh at, not answer.)

Speaking of laughter and laughter-inducing responses, I could not help chuckling at Ms. Randall’s comments regarding her “main goal [she] hope[s] to accomplish.” First, it involves a “Comprehensive Plan.” Oh boy. Second, and I quote: We have such a dearth of housing options in this county. You shouldn’t have to make $75,000 a year to live in the county.

You ever heard of an area so wealthy they actually had in their “comprehensive plan” an initiative to dial it back a little?

Yeah, imagine the horrors and chaos that would ensue if you lived in an area where everyone was successful.

Sometimes you’ve just run out of things to worry about.
