Not that I'm an apologist for D.C. I mean, really: Marion Barry. 'Nuff sed.

And, please, the city’s residents don’t live in the parts of the city —maybe five square miles?— that are effected by this.

Understanding, or even familiarity, has never been a requirement for the NYT to form an opinion, especially when they're looking down their nose at someone.

Not that I'm an apologist for D.C. I mean, really: Marion Barry. 'Nuff sed.

I cannot see anything outside of an occasional police K-9 patrol at the Galery Place station that would even hint of increased security.

Gone is the day that the Treasury has to be within a walk of the White House or the White House to the Capitol. We could spread the government out for safety and other reasons too. DC is too far east as it is. Make the buildings into museums and the center of the city into a National Park. --- After Nineleven we had a good opportunity to spread our government, as it should be, around the whole of the nation.
