The Best:

"People have criticized me because my security detail is larger than the president's. But you must ask yourself: are there more people who want to kill me than who want to kill the president? I can assure you there are." -- M. Barry, Mayor of Washington, DC

Unfortunately, he never bothered to ask himself: "Why?"

The DC Public School System

It's pretty well known that DC spends more, per student, than any other state, while getting the worst results in the country. So you have to wonder why. The Washington, D.C. "City Paper" gives us a fine look into the DC public school system here:

We learn of DC high school principal Daniel Hudson, fired after one year for making unreasonable requests of the system... like wanting the students to actually have class schedules, and wanting the teachers to actually show up on time.

Let's Get Down to Business

OK, here we go. A blog dedicated to exposing liberal policy failures and the failures who make liberal policy - with a particular emphasis on Washington, D.C.

Why? Because the United States deserves a world class city as its Capitol. Unfortunately, 50 years of Democrat domination has lead to 50 years of liberal policy failure in the District.

Instead of being a city befitting the capitol of the free world, DC is an embarassment to the country.
