I didn't watch the State of the Union address last night. I was afraid I would throw things at my TV, and I am fond of my TV... its pretty. Instead I saw some of the Duke v Wake Forest game and read a book. However, I would like to point out something that makes me seem a bit like I watched it:
Bush talked a great deal about freedom and democracy last night especially in regards to Iraqis triumphantly experiencing a democratic election. However, does it not seem a bit harsh to talk about such things in a city where the citizens have no representation in the federal government?
I think about D.C. Statehood more than one who doesn't live there should. If I lived there I would be a rabid "D.C. Statehood" activist. In the traditions of the country I would advocate dumping tea... no, wait... oil into the potomac and not paying taxes until there is adequate representation. Its what the country is about.
