Kim and I are still in Alabama visiting the folks but will be heading for the airport in a couple of hours. In the meantime, it’s time for the second edition of the Beltway Sunday Drive. It’s like the Traffic Jam except, as Lionel Richie would say, easy like a Sunday morning.

The $6 Million Question
Opening the email this morning, I came across this missive. It was not sent to a bunch of names. And it does not have the feel of a Nigerian oil scam. But it does have a hotmail account. I give it an even chance of being legit.

Libertarians And Emergencies
The Mayor of New Orleans has ordered the immediate, mandatory evacuation of the City of New Orleans. Given the size, speed, and projected path of Hurricane Katrina, evacuation is an entirely reasonable, rational thing to do. The question, though, is th…
Chore Games: Plant or Weed?
Ok – everyone can try this game. It’ll add some spice to the mundane. Rules: Let flowerbed go unweeded for an extended period of time. For example, 6 weeks. The game actually commences when your spouse pulls the “big weeds.” (We had one threatening …
Walking on broken glass
What I woke up to this morning: The officer that responded said that mine was the fifth car with a broken rear window in recent days in the neighborhood; like in the other cases, nothing was taken from the car. So now my car looks like one of those mid…
