DC voting rights are up for debate

Apparently the NIMBY representative from the VA has decided that maybe DC residents are American citizens too. Of course, he giving the crazy Mormons another vote in the House also, but after more than 200 years, you take what you can get.

Hopefully, racism and partisan politics won't torpedo this bill, like every other attempt to rectify the gross injustice that is DC's Congressional Representation. I for one am not going to hold my breath. Besides, only four more months until I start my journey to become a citizen of Texas. Representation and no income tax! Who knew life could be so good?

  • Until you think of yourself as a RESIDENT and not a residence... there is nothing the Feds can do to help you.

  • Thanks Sarah. Sometimes the fingers get ahead of the brain.

    And as for you, CPMC (Can I call you that? Thanks.), if I may continue with the uncomfortably internet friendly metaphors, the great state of Texas is "beaming me up" to go to graduate school. Sometimes you just have to tell yourself that "Austin is likely the Berkley of Texas" and plow your way through a couple of years.

  • Sarah, please, its Tuesday. That means that it is a day for mindless writing. Thursday is the day for editing. And is I want to move to Berkley, well, I heard that in Texas all you need is a mailing address to start your own town.

  • True. Good luck down there. Never been to Austin, but hear it is great. Just make sure you can talk about Rick Linklater and Bob Schneider, and you'll have a good "in" during conversation...
