Words fail me.

Yes, I know.  Hard to believe.  But I think what you’re about to see, hear and read might even stun Phyllis into silence. For a few minutes anyway.

The North Miami race for City Council just keeps getting stranger and stranger.

For one thing, I just saw a campaign video on YouTube produced by Council Candidate for District 2 Mary Irvin that literally defies all explanation and description.  You must see it for yourself to understand what I’m talking about.

As I said, words fail me.  Somebody has just gotta tell me…WTF WAS THAT?

Real classy, huh?

In yet another stunning slap in the face of reality, Anna L. Pierre, who is running for mayor of North Miami, whined to the Miami Herald that (I hope you’re sitting down) “someone is using vodou on her.”

HOLY FREAKING COW!

She told reporter Nadege Green, “I have people in Haiti, Canada and the U.S. praying for me.  I have Jesus with me.”  The article goes on to state that Ms. Pierre claims “her popularity in the Haitian community is a threat to whoever is trying to curse her.”

Alrighty then.

Ms. Pierre also stated that “They can put all the voodoo they want.  I’m a Christian woman. I’m not scared.”  Oh, really?  Then why did she run to the Miami Herald with this whacked out story if it doesn’t mean anything to her?  Free publicity maybe?

Then again, we are talking about the woman who is, according to the Herald, “well-known for her 1990s Creole language hit…in which she demands that her husband put sugar on her “cookie” or else she will leave him.”

She’s not shy, that one, huh?

Makes you wonder what’s gonna happen next.  Between the insane video and the accusations of black magic, it makes you wonder if the North Miami election is being held in the United States of America or some Third World country filled with pagans doing some spastic ritualistic dance, casting spells with “chicken feathers, food scraps and candles,” and praying to the election gods for victory.

Former North Miami Beach city manager Lyndon Bonner should be grateful that he escaped South Florida with only birdseed sprinkled around his desk.

Okay, I guess words didn’t fail me after all.
