Seeing all this really made me wonder about the so-called leaders of this country. How is it that we're paying them (yes, you do work for us) to micromanage our lives, complain about the rival party, decide that we're killing the earth, and write smear letters to private citizens? I mean seriously, Mr. and Mrs. Elected Representative, have you ever taken the time to look around the city that is the flagship for this great country of ours? Yeah, your opinions differ. We get it. How about you stop thinking about your self-centered universe and start thinking about what you get lavishly paid to do. Emphatically repeating "Think of the children!" won't get a giant statue of yourself built. We didn't build all these crazy white buildings so you could complain like a 7th grade girl. It's time to grow up and live up to this great city you have the privilege of living in. You can start by allocating money to upkeep the National Lawn which, in my opinion, looks worse than that crackhead's lawn down the street on the corner. Take some pride in yourself.
I want to live here. Other big cities are great, but this one has heart. This one is real. This one embodies all the things that are great about our country. And all the things that really suck.
That's why I left my heart in Capitol City.

Good stuff Dan,
Enjoyed the link to that letter the "leader" of the democrat party in the Senate sent to the FCC. Hilarious and sad.
I can't remember who it was, someone like Warren Buffett or Carl Icahn, that once said "the problem with politicians is that's the best job they'll ever have or be qualified for." Sadly that seems to currently apply to both parties more than it used to.
Looks like it was a great trip,
Moose
You need to go on another adventure. Your blog was a distraction to my everyday, suburban life. Move on again, Dan. I enjoyed reading about your travels.
