   Now that the fine art of fleecing the taxpayers to pay for egoboo has 
turned into an cross-Potomac competition, where will the stadium end up?

   My guess is that the Expos will end up in DC, at the New York Avenue 
site.  Virginia pols will be under a bit of extra budget heat because of 
the stalling of car-tax repeal and the veto of death-tax repeal, and they 
don't have a realistic site (Pentagon City is too congested and too close 
to two points of security concern, Rosslyn is too expensive, and Dulles is 
too far out).

   (In a rational world, where a team owner who wants a new toy is expected 
to pay for it himself, RFK would be fixed up, but we don't live in a 
rational world.)
