Ida Ruben is running for Maryland state senator in my little town. This is the actual photo that is posted throughout my 'hood on all of her campaign signs:
When I first saw it, I thought it was a joke but it's completely legit. I may vote for her based on sheer chutzpah and the love of that bun.
Hate to rain on the parade guys, but that "bun" is her attempt at eccentricity - like Tony Williams' bowtie. These things are meant to make them seem more human, but Ida Ruben is "the man" -- and not in the good way. She's a machine politician running against a progressive (see raskin06.com) - but I guess the bun is pretty hot!
Just your average gay dad trying to figure out this whole life, work, love, family thing. Really it's all in the blog... or well, a close proximity. Actually, it's all so complex can we really even begin to sum up our lives in these little missives. It's all fake. It's random. Who are you? Why am I here? Somebody pour me another drink.
Husband, Father, and more.

Tell me that's a current photo and not one taken in 1973. That would make it even better!
She sure is purty. That bun on her head makes me hungry. It's like a big cinna-bon up there.
It almost makes me want to move there just to vote for her. I love it!
Forget the bun! Those eyebrows alone would get my vote!
Monc, it's an old photo but she hasn't changed too much. Go Ida Go!
Oh my god I LOVE THIS PICTURE.
It makes me want to write a short story about her.
I want to be her.
