Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

In re DC - one thing to remember is that not only does the federal government occupy a lot of prime real estate, there are also a whole bunch of embassies here ... and I think they're tax-exempt as well. DC relies on federal funding for a hefty chunk of the budget, but we're also largely controlled by Congress. AND we pay federal taxes (taxation without representation ... which is on the DC license plates).
Arguments against representation have historically been "well, but it's NOT a state" (and only states have voting rights) to the fact that DC traditionally votes Democratic. A recent one is that all the federal government employees would vote for increasing the size of the government ... which ignores the fact that a lot of those people live in Maryland and Virginia.
And it's amazing how many people outside the area don't realize that DC (for address purposes) is like a state.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Thank you for the ~ma, y'all. She's had Alzheimer's for years and is at the point where she will respond to her name, but can't tell you what it is if you ask her. Plus physical issues.
