Washington subway crash

[joelnwil]

I stay out of DC to the extent possible. The government there is generally run by idiots, and the place is very violent. It will probably turn out that somebody at the Metro did something stupid, was high on coke, or something else. Or maybe texting, like the driver in Boston.

I may sound extreme, but I have lived in Silver Spring for years, and things are better than when that coke-head Marion Barry was mayor, but they still elected him to the council, and he has recently exerted his moral authority (!) to oppose gay marriage.

Remember the controversy over the word "niggardly"? Some of the great civic leaders of DC thought it was a racial slur. That is some indication of their level of intelligence.
