I blog from the Library of Congress. I'm spending the day on Capitol Hill (which helps explain the lack of blogging), where I got lost in the Capitol. It took me a good fifteen minutes to escape from the labyrinth. The whole idea of an internal Capitol Hill subway, and a special elevator bell that says "For Senators Only" (which I mistakenly pressed), rubs me--or at least my inner-populist--the wrong way. On my journey, I caught glimpses of a Senators John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, Orrin Hatch, Tom Colburn, John McCain, and Pat Roberts. They were dressed for success and moving as if they had places to go and people to see. And though I saw legions of Capitol Hill police, I eluded--thank God--the loose-fisted Cynthia McKinney.
A 'glimpse' of Ted Kennedy? There's no such thing. How can you miss him with his bloated girth and beaming red Chivas cured face.
Dan,
I hope that you avoid the loose driving of Ted Kennedy. I've heard that people close to him mysteriously end up in the bottom of lakes.
A good start might be to have Senators John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, Orrin Hatch, Tom Colburn, John McCain, and Pat Roberts take a ride by the Potomac in Ted K's Oldsmobile!
Pat Roberts is like 7 feet tall. I saw him once walking from the Hart bldg. He was wearing a seersucker suit and with his arms and legs being so long and gangly, when he walked it made him look like a human-cicada wearing a 3-piece seersucker suit.
Wow, I'm impressed. NOT.. You know what Dan, the average guy who removes garbage off the sidewalk for a living, deserves more respect than those shithead politicians. We all know that you are "star-struck" by anyone who is famous or known by the masses; after all, that is all you are aspiring to become, isn't it? ... but we don't care who you encounter. It is irrelevant and short-sighted (just like your ideas, both political and non). Oh yeah, stop pretending to stand up for the corruption that feeds this administration, and trust your intuition about what is right. stand up and tell your few readers about how you truly know what happened on 911 etc..
Screw Off didn't get it.
Screw off doesn't seem to have a gift for spotting irony.
Tell us... what really happened on 9-11?
