I was looking over the Washington Times today and saw an article of good fortune for those who have been driving through red lights in D.C. The MVA there is having air conditioning problems (think their public schools without the lead-laden water), so they're closed for the remainder of this week. And those who were fighting red light tickets this week? Don't bother. You're excused! Wow, you could have saved 30 seconds and not paid $75 for it this week!
Anyhow, this is the fun part. Notices will be sent via mail over the next couple of weeks informing these people of their excused tickets. Of course they'll probably already know by then when they've shown up this week to fight their tickets only to arrive at an overheated, closed D.C. courthouse.
And the article reporting these details didn't even mention this? How boring. I would have turned it into a scandal. Too bad the last creative thought in our nation's capital was when Marion Barry figured out how to do crack off a prostitute's a-hole. And in this accusation (the creativity one), I'm including the management of the Redskins and Caps (Nationals don't count yet, but they will once they get an owner...). John Buccigross in his NHL Eastern Conference update this week called the caps "by far the worst team in the league". Fantastic. Welcome back. D.C. was just a little too ambitious without you.
