Just some musings from the District. It helps if you listen to the Postal Service while you read...
Metro Closes Doors...HARD.
I was riding the Yellow Line back from my Chinese lesson yesterday, and was shocked to hear an unfamiliar voice telling me that doors would soon be closing. Apparently, Metro has concluded it’s search for the new “Voice of Metro”. 44-year-old Woodbridge resident Randi Miller will now be the one telling you what to do when getting on the train. Personally, I think Metro overlooked the most qualified candidate, DC native Wanda Sykes. Riders would respond much more quickly to “You out yo’ damn mind? Get your ass in the car. And I don’t want to see your dumb ass hanging out by the door. Move to the center, fool.”

Apparently Senators this week are tripping all over themselves to avoid talking about Senator Feingold’s proposed censure of President Bush.
"I just don't have enough information," protested Ben Nelson (Neb.). "I really can't right now," John Kerry (Mass.) said as he hurried past a knot of reporters -- an excuse that fell apart when Kerry was forced into an awkward wait as Capitol Police stopped a
n aide at the magnetometer.
Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) brushed past the press pack, shaking her head and waving her hand over her shoulder. When an errant food cart blocked her entrance to the meeting room, she tried to hide from reporters behind the 4-foot-11 Barbara Mikulski (Md.). - Washington Post
Hillary wants to be my president? Sounds like we need a Feingold/Mikulski ticket in 2008.
Suck it, Yankee
China is refusing to take back an estimated 39,000 citizens who have been denied immigration to the United States and have clogged detention centers at federal expense, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said yesterday.
In an interview with the Associated Press, Chertoff said that China readmitted 800 people last year. But that made only a small dent in what he described as a backlog of thousands who are in the United States illegally.
Currently, 687 Chinese are being held in federal detention facilities, at a daily cost of $95 each, while about 38,000 have been released on bond or under a monitoring program, such as wearing an electronic surveillance bracelet, the Department of Homeland Security said.
The Chinese Embassy in Washington did not immediately return a call for comment (and is probably laughing hysterically). - Washington Post
