Lonely in DC

Doesn't it seem wrong that the most pressing, far-reaching anti-war protest thus far is happening thousands of miles away from our nation's capital? Props to Cindy Sheehan, but what about us DC people, many of whom moved here in hopes of being part of one of the most active, pungent political communities in the world? Apparently all the lobbyists, polysci graduate students, and Senators are wrong. The center of politics isn't DC--it's Crawford, Texas. That's where the most powerful man in the world spends most of his time, "running" a campaign to destroy liberty across the globe. I guess in the end it doesn't really matter whether things are happening in DC or Crawford, as Cinday Sheehan is learning. Bush doesn't give a fuck if he's on the Potomac or in Texas. He's too busy "getting on with his life." Sigh.
