Touching the People
One observation regarding a difference between the Pope's visit to Washington, D.C. vs. his visit to New York thus far, is that he's had greater access to come into direct contact with people here in New York. Last night, he greeted people and shook hands outside where he is staying. Today,…

Obama inflitrates the Office of the President
As some of you may know, the ‘Chesapeake Primaries’ (MD, DC, VA) were this past Tuesday. Leading up to that time, we were graced with some lovely advertising from the candidates. Fortunately, I was able to avoid most of this. One thing I wasn’t able to avoid was a particular ad for Barak…

The future is here… and it’s in the bathroom!
ne of the things about DC and its environs that strikes me as odd is the toilets. Most public places… and virtually all government buildings have auto-flush toilets. Airports, office buildings, malls, stores, restaurants… they’re everywhere… except private homes. They’re so prevalent…
