I Blame Washington

Yearrrrrrrrgh!
After all, the people we have sent to represent us in D.C. have become the singularly most self-insulated bunch of know-nothings in the history of our Republic. Well, other than the real Know-Nothings, that is.

Seriously. My congressman, Jim "Blame Da Joos" Moran, cared not a whit when I wrote to him to beg him to address illegal immigration, as it is having a dramatically negative impact on the quality of life in my neck of Fairfax County. Jim Warner didn't care either, giving me the traditionally braindead (and totally false) "America is a nation of immigrants" canard. George Allen seemed to get the message, but we all know what happened to him (Uh, "Profoundly disrespected and helpless?" One word...)

As a whole, the entire body of Congress seems less interested in representing local interests now than it is in regulating foreign areas. Like, for instance, declaring billions of acres in the Western United States to be off-limits to human development, while the Potomac Anacostia River [Ed:-need more coffee...], which is entirely within the District, remains a polluted, disgusting waste.

So, in the interest of spurring a bit of di-alogue, who do you blame? Sound off here in the comments, if you dare! How have your representatives in Washington represented you?

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.
