Sitting in the airport in Tennessee... [View all]

The woman next to me just said that if DC got statehood, all of the foreigners would become citizens...

The temptation to correct her is high. It's very true that DC is DEEP BLUE...

Oh goodness. Now she has said that if we keep funding Ukraine, Putin will drop a nuke on DC...

And then she said that might not be a bad thing...

I can't wait to get out of here.
