#1 Big government lack of accountability + PC quota hire + third world ethics = Washington DC business as usual...

#2 "It's remarkably brazen," said Melanie Sloan, executive director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, a government watchdog group.

"If you take out the killings, Washington actually has a very very low crime rate." -- M. Barry, Mayor of Washington, DC

#3 Once again, I'll propose that the federal government buy up all of D.C. and make it nothing but the seat of the federal government, monuments and parks.

With no residences or private businesses except contract franchises and VIP hotels; few roads for only official vehicles, with most converted to pedestrian walkways; and significant public transport to and from the city.

There would be plenty of space for government building expansion, lots more open space for gatherings, much better security, and even things like moving sidewalks to quickly move large numbers of pedestrians around.

Washington D.C. would be prettier, cleaner, quieter, safer, with very little crime, much more tourist friendly, and more places to put monuments to great Americans and events.
