Well, most of the articulate people interested in discussing those
issues seems to find their way to dc.story, an edited email

firm hand on things while letting all points of view in, and as a
result it's more interesting and intelligent than anything you'll see
here.

So, how does a commuter tax give me representation in Congress, the
body in which I have no representation that's taxing me?
